About This Home
As of December 2022Architecturally stunning, soft contemporary residence showcasing spectacular, southwesterly views sweeping across the ocean, bay, city night lights, coastline to the Coronado Islands. Upon entry, you’ll be immediately impressed by an inviting interior filled with abundant natural light, wide-open living areas featuring a voluminous wood beamed ceiling with clerestory windows, head-on blue water views through a wall of glass, and a sliding door leading to a spacious deck perfect for embracing the coastal scenery. The kitchen is a chef’s delight offering granite-topped counters... and an island with bar seating, stainless appliances, more than ample cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast room. Also found on the entry level is the private primary suite boasting a view balcony, fireplace, large walk-in closet, and a sumptuous stone bath with dual vanities, a spa tub, separate shower and a bidet. Head downstairs where you will find all 3 secondary bedroom suites, as well as a sprawling family room ideal for entertaining with its well-equipped wet bar, wine room, powder room, and 2 sets of French doors opening onto a covered patio with a fireplace. Beyond, the backyard is flanked by manicured and mature tropical landscaping, a soothing spa for relaxing, and a pool patio providing plenty of space for sunbathing and lounging with family and friends. Desirable La Jolla Palisades locale!
