About This Home
As of February 2024Seller shall entertain offers between $3,700,000-$3,898,000. Stunning coastal retreat, nestled in renowned Lower Hermosa where coveted seaside access to beach sands grace the beachside neighborhood. The recently remodeled, contemporized ranch home is set behind a pair of extra-wide pivot doors - the all-glass front door posed at the end of a dramatic glass corridor – designed to maximize privacy. High-volume ceilings with open trusses atop an open floor plan, punctuated by glass doors throughout, show off its everything: grand living room with Western doors, spacious dining area anchored by a large stone-surround fireplace, the open kitchen centered around a quartz waterfall island with Viking gas range, double ovens & subzero fridge that complete the chef’s kitchen, the abundant outdoor foliage. Trussed ceilings and glass doors continue to primary bedroom & cherished spaces, extending “home” to a gracefully landscaped yard, displaying nature’s reverence and La Jolla’s boast: her coastal climate.
