About This Home
As of April 2025Single-level modern masterpiece offers an acre of secluded resort-like grounds, including tennis court, guest house and pool framed with horizon ocean views. Stellar architectural design incorporates neutral finishes and natural materials, enhancing seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. Gourmet kitchen with pizza oven opens to great room with fireplace and clerestory windows. Private master suite includes spacious home office and sitting room. Four additional bedrooms + guest house. 1090 Solymar has an interesting architectural history. Architect Leonard Veitzer designed and built the home in 1974, at which time it was known as the Woolley Residence. A significant transformation occurred in 2005 when Ione Stiegler of IS Architecture created an addition, almost doubling the square footage while honoring the original architect’s precise grid patterns that define the interior space. She multiplied the number of clerestory windows to create beautiful patterns with daylight. Stiegler’s seamless integration of original and new is a spectacular success.
