About This Home
Now available for long-term lease: a stunning 1949 residence designed by renowned architect Tom Shepherd, offering whitewater ocean views and timeless charm in La Jolla’s coveted Hillside neighborhood. With easy access in and out of town, this thoughtfully designed home blends architectural pedigree with modern comfort. The living spaces are bright and inviting, with a spacious deck off the oversized formal living room, plus a separate informal living room that's adjacent to the home's entry. The main house includes 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with breathtaking ocean views and a recently renovated, spa-inspired marble bathroom with steam shower. A private 1 bed/1 bath casita with a kitchenette sits on the lower pool level, separate from the main residence — perfect for guests, a home office, or extended family. Enjoy outdoor living in the gated front courtyard with a fountain, as well as beautifully landscaped grounds that include a sparkling in-ground pool with removable safety fencing. Additional highlights include central A/C, a private gated entry, an attached two-car garage with laundry, and a basement for extra storage. A rare opportunity to lease a piece of La Jolla architectural history with flexibility, privacy, and breathtaking views. Owner pays for Pool & Landscaping. Tenant pays for all utilities.
