About This Home

As of October 2012

At the end of a cul-de-sac on La Jolla's sunny side of the hill, this sprawling one-level ranch residence offers fresh, bright interior living with pitched open-beam ceilings, skylights, and engaging architectural features plus vast grounds of over a half acre, a large swimming pool and spacious lawn area. Home to the renowned late Nobel Prize winner, Francis Crick, this residence offers endless potential to become a grand showplace for comfortable California living. A superb find. If you are one who believes energy remains in a home, then this residence is steeped in genius! Francis Crick, neuroscientist and biophysicist, won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for having discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, an accomplishment with far-reaching ramifications in contemporary scientific and medical research. Crick's light, bright private home office was the center of much of his revolutionary work. The property also offers attached private guest quarters. Buyer to verify all information prior to removal of contingencies.
