The Joseph Klatt Spec House by architect Roger Matthews, Circa 1956, is a classic Southern California mid-century modern design in the heart of La Jolla's highly desirable Muirlands neighborhood. Offering the best of indoor/outdoor living with direct access to the (solar heated) pool and patio from throughout the home, this is a haven for entertaining and relaxing. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light from the courtyard, while west facing windows in the living room and several bedrooms provide elevated views of the Pacific Ocean. By retaining its vintage aesthetic you'll enjoy the original wooden slat ceiling lights, functional built-ins, open beam ceilings, an open kitchen with plentiful storage, and incredible blockwork at the home's facade. Behind the secure and solid wood gates, a private driveway leads to a two-car garage surrounded by plenty of extra paved space for additional vehicles, storage, etc. This is an incredible opportunity to secure an architecturally distinctive home in this coveted coastal community.null
