About This Home
As of September 2020"Car Aficionado Glory" only begins to describe the delights of this grand Lower Hermosa residence with uniquely lavish architectural detailing throughout, manicured grounds including three private courtyards, and a phenomenal underground 8-car garage doubling as supreme party setting. Built with no-holds-barred quality craftsmanship and materials, living areas include office, barrel-ceiling dining, gorgeous kitchen, family, arts & crafts, game, and fitness rooms. Please see supplement. Magnificent architectural design detailing and meticulous craftsmanship of exceptional materials creates a glorious environment for both spectacular large-scale entertaining and cozy gatherings of family and friends. A sparkling formal swimming pool sets the stage at the walled private entry courtyard leading to the entry with exquisite marble patterned flooring and intricate ceiling mouldings. Gorgeous woodwork, leaded French doors and walnut flooring are found throughout much of the residence, and ceilings include the dining room's brick barrels, hand-mold ceilings of limestone dust and epoxy in the living room, reclaimed wood beams in the kitchen and family room. Four masonry fireplaces are enjoyed in the living room, family room, sublime main-level master bedroom and master bath.

A very special home for those appreciative of superlative quality, featured in SD Home and Gardens and on La Jolla's Secret Garden Tour.
