Description

An architectural masterpiece designed by the renowned Mid-Century Modern visionary John Lloyd Wright, this extraordinary estate epitomizes coastal elegance and sophisticated living. Nestled atop one of the most expansive and prestigious parcels in Olde Del Mar, this remarkable residence offers breathtaking panoramic ocean vistas stretching from the pristine shores of Del Mar Beaches to the iconic cliffs of La Jolla. Spanning 4,243 square feet, the main house is a testament to Wright’s genius, boasting his signature ceiling designs, an awe-inspiring spiral staircase that flows effortlessly through the home, and an original stained-glass entrance feature that sets the tone for refined luxury. The expansive basement adds to the grandeur, complementing the four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout. The primary suite, located on the main level, exudes tranquility, while an additional family room on the upper floor provides an ideal retreat. Thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, a wheelchair-friendly pathway leads seamlessly from the driveway to the second-floor bedroom. Enhancing the estate’s allure is a detached guest house, a private sanctuary estimated at 850 square feet, featuring its own gas and electric meters for independent utility management. With a master suite, full kitchen, and a family room centered around an elegant fireplace, this guest home offers absolute comfort. A secluded meditation garden completes this serene haven, inviting moments of reflection amid lush surroundings. This architectural jewel has been celebrated in multiple publications as a true masterpiece of John Lloyd Wright’s design legacy. Enveloped by meticulously manicured landscaping, vibrant fruit trees, and the soothing melodies of coastal wildlife, this home offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of California’s most coveted neighborhoods. With owned and fully paid-off solar panels, award-winning schools, and an ambiance of exclusivity, this estate presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of historical luxury—a retreat where the symphony of the ocean waves becomes the soundtrack to everyday life.
