Welcome to this fully reimagined, single-level mid-century modern masterpiece nestled in a private La Jolla canyon, where panoramic ocean views & seamless indoor-outdoor living define every moment. Thoughtfully designed & meticulously executed, no expense was spared crafting a space that feels as exceptional as it looks. Enter through an oversized, custom pivot door into a light-filled haven of warmth & calm. High ceilings, skylights, & glass sliders blur the line between indoors & out, while clean lines & curated finishes create a timeless yet modern aesthetic. At the heart of the living space, a curved, luxurious retro fireplace adds a bold architectural statement, anchoring the living space with warmth, sophistication, & nostalgia. Savor a quiet sunrise coffee on the front patio or wind down at dusk in a magical space that’s all your own. The chef’s kitchen is both stunning & functional, with custom rift-cut oak cabinetry, a sprawling prep island, dual dishwashers, & authentic terrazzo tile floors, flowing effortlessly into a terraced backyard built for connection. The luxurious primary suite features dual showers, a soaking tub, & spa-level serenity. The expansive backyard offers room for a pool, an ADU or a garden. Whether you're gathered around the fire pit or hosting sunset dinners in the outdoor kitchen, the Pacific Ocean provides a perfect backdrop. Additional unfinished square footage provides an opportunity for a home office, gym, wine cellar or art studio. Every space invites you to slow down, breathe deep, & fully enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build.Welcome to this fully reimagined, single-level mid-century modern masterpiece nestled in a private La Jolla canyon, where panoramic ocean views & seamless indoor-outdoor living define every moment.
