OPEN HOUSE: A Room-by- Room Tour through this San Diego PREMIER Luxury La Jolla Home offered by Phil & Pam Reed, Willis Allen Real Estate
Masquerading as an unassuming abode behind strategic boxwood hedges, this dramatic custom home discretely but blissfully enjoys some of the most dramatic and unobstructable ocean, bay, and city views La Jolla has to offer. It is this discretion and location, high atop Mt. Soledad in La Jolla’s Muirlands at the end of a cul-de-sac, that brings coveted privacy to an exuberant soft contemporary filled with light.
With exceptional views from every room in the home, minus one bathroom (one needs a respite from the panoramic beauty sometimes), it can take a moment to catch one’s breath. Entering through the sunny and airy great room, open to the kitchen, morning room and vast main level balcony, the views dazzle and the design invites. Clean, crisp, white walls and a neutral palette of flooring, window coverings, and architectural accents serve to enhance the blues and greens from the views below. Large scale travertine tile floors, custom fireplace (one of three), tech and display built-ins, recessed lighting, oversized moldings… it is apparent from your first steps inside that the finest materials and craftsmanship have been utilized to perfection. Blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors are the 28 feet of sliding glass doors that open onto the balcony patio with curved glass railings. The resulting effect is that visually, nothing stands between you and the coastline, bay, and downtown view.
The main cook’s kitchen is a foodie’s dream. Refrigeration alone includes a 48” Viking side-by-side, 2-drawer Fisher Paykel, Sub-Zero icemaker, and wine cooler. Also at your disposal are 4 ovens, a Viking gas range with griddle, 2-drawer Fisher Paykel dishwashers, reverse osmosis water purifier, instant hot water, secondary sink, and built-in steamer. All of this while enjoying the most incredible ocean views. A secondary kitchen conveniently serves the downstairs areas as well.
There will be no fighting over rooms as 4 master bedrooms ensure everyone gets the royal treatment. Granite and marble counters, floors, and shower make for luxurious spa-like bathrooms. Every detail impeccably finished from the skylights to the vanity pendants. Floors in both the baths and kitchen are deliciously cool in the summer and heated for winter warmth. It is comforts like these that take luxury living to the next level.
The carefully chosen perks continue with state-of-the-art amenities like walk-in safe, elevator, and interactive Lutron Homeworks system for lighting and shades. Lutron home integration makes energy efficiency as easy as the touch of a button. On top of that you will always be the perfect temperature with the home’s 3 furnaces, 6-zone heating and A/C system. Every conceivable convenience was considered and accounted for with 2 hot water heaters including water softeners and 2 laundry rooms.
Downstairs the entertainment room enjoys built in media, fireplace and more large glass doors opening onto the home’s stunning backyard. A large infinity pool and spa flow endlessly onto the city below with substantial deck space for sunbathing, al fresco dining, and gatherings both boisterous and intimate. There is a TV outdoors to watch the game and fire pit for sunset wine tasting. The dream exists and it is living right here.
