About This Home
As of October 2022Art and Architecture Unite at Spectacular La Jolla Estate Like a flower opening to the sky above, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece unites art and architecture with an equally impressive ocean-view location in La Jolla Heights. Virtually hidden at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the irreplaceable residence reveals a minimalist street presence that belies the structural grandeur just beyond its entrance. Inside, towering ceilings, curvilinear douglas fir beams, and undulating walls of glass spread out from a central three-level atrium that welcomes natural light into the home, which reflects the undeniable talents of visionary architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg. Fittingly named Lotus House, the visually stunning residence fascinates at every turn, with natural wood, cathedral-Like proportions, and phenomenal views dazzling the eye at every turn. An artistic concrete fireplace commands attention, but only briefly, as the Pacific Ocean and the shimmering evening lights of La Jolla Shores beckon from below. Overlooking Pottery Canyon, the .9-acre homesite was carefully selected for its privacy, views, and natural beauty. No other residence is located behind Lotus House, allowing views of sunsets, the shoreline, and coastal bluffs to be enjoyed from virtually every room. Approx. 2,600 s.f. with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.
