About this home

Built in 2013 to the highest standards, this exceptional home embodies timeless quality, design, and an A+ location, making it one of La Jolla's finest estates. Offering immeasurable pleasure, comfort, and inspiration, this private residence captures the essence of luxury living. Thoughtfully constructed on 2 of 3 parcels totaling nearly 1.4 acres, the fully gated property is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and mature hedges, ensuring privacy. With a California Traditional style that is barely visible from the street, this exquisite home features two above-grade levels. The main level includes a spacious living room, dining room, and family room designed by renowned designer Jeffrey Bilhuber for seamless flow and entertaining. There are also home offices located off the kitchen and primary suite. Pocketing screen doors create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, including a covered patio off the family room that epitomizes La Jolla's beloved indoor/outdoor living experience. The upper level boasts an impressive primary bedroom suite with sitting areas, a fireplace, large shower, his and hers closets and toilets, and a private balcony with a therapeutic spa and fireplace. There are also 4 additional bedroom suites on this upper level, and a secondary primary suite on the entry level. Additional features of this remarkable home include a wine cellar, theater room with bar, extensive storage, and an 18+ car showroom that offers incredible flexibility for various uses such as a gym, golf simulator, recording studio, and/or bowling alley. The meticulously designed grounds include a large UV pool with underwater speakers, ample lawn and garden areas designed by Art Luna. There is also potential to build a pool house, sport court, or re-partition and sell or develop the land. A new home built on the annexed lot would also have ocean views from the second story. In-wall speakers, laundry facilities on both levels, bathrooms with Toto washlets, polished nickel Waterworks Plumbing fixtures with Speakman showerheads, heated floors, elevator access to all levels, and extensive smart home technology are just a few examples of the attention to detail and luxurious amenities that make this home so special.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Privacy: Situated in an A+ La Jolla location, this fully gated property spans nearly 1.4 acres, surrounded by mature landscaping and hedges, ensuring unparalleled privacy and exclusivity.
Superior Construction & Design: Built in 2013 to the highest standards, the home boasts timeless quality and design, with interiors crafted by renowned designer Jeffrey Bilhuber, reflecting meticulous attention to detail.
Extensive Luxury Amenities: The estate offers a comprehensive suite of high-end features including a wine cellar, theater room with bar, UV pool with underwater speakers, elevator access to all levels, smart home technology, heated floors, Toto washlets, and polished nickel Waterworks fixtures.
Versatile & Expansive Space: With over 11,404 sqft of living space, 6 bedrooms, 8 baths, and an impressive 18+ car showroom, the property provides immense flexibility for various uses such as a gym, golf simulator, recording studio, or bowling alley.
Development Potential & Views: Constructed on 2 of 3 parcels, there is significant potential to build a pool house, sport court, or re-partition and develop the land. A new home on the annexed lot would also benefit from ocean views, complementing the existing coastline, park/greenbelt, golf course, and ocean views.

Cons

High Maintenance & Operating Costs: A property of this magnitude and luxury, spanning nearly 1.4 acres with extensive features like a UV pool and smart home technology, will inherently incur substantial ongoing maintenance, utility, and property tax expenses.
Niche Market Appeal: The highly customized luxury features, including an 18+ car showroom and specific California Traditional style, cater to a very specific high-net-worth buyer demographic, potentially narrowing the pool of interested purchasers.
Complexity of Development Potential: While offering development potential for additional structures or re-partitioning, realizing these opportunities would involve significant time, capital investment, and navigating potentially complex local zoning and permitting processes.
