About this home

Just steps from the iconic sands of Windansea, this architectural gem blends timeless design with the laid-back elegance of coastal living. Nestled in the coveted Beach Barber Tract, the home offers a lifestyle defined by walkability, charm, and a close connection to the ocean. From morning surf sessions at historic Windansea to sunset strolls along the shoreline, every day feels like a getaway. Originally envisioned by renowned architect Lew Dominy of domusstudio for the Windansea Beach Homes project, this residence is designed for flexibility and privacy. Multiple bedroom suites, a custom home office, home gym, media room, and expansive terraces create an adaptable floor plan tailored to modern living. Hand-selected, globally sourced materials and masterful craftsmanship elevate every detail. Beyond the beach, daily conveniences and indulgences are right at your doorstep. Valley Farms Market, a locally sourced, highly sought-after boutique grocery store, is just a short walk away, making fresh, artisanal shopping part of your everyday routine. A few blocks north, La Jolla Village offers world-class dining, boutique shopping, galleries, museums, and cultural experiences, while just minutes south, Bird Rock delivers a vibrant neighborhood feel with its cozy coffee spots, casual eateries, and community energy. The home comes with fully owned solar.

Condition Rating
Excellent

Built in 2005, this property, while not brand new, presents in excellent condition due to its high-quality, timeless architectural design and superior craftsmanship. The kitchen features top-of-the-line, integrated stainless steel appliances (Sub-Zero, built-in ovens, coffee maker, wine fridge), custom wood cabinetry, and granite countertops, all appearing virtually new and meeting current luxury standards. Bathrooms, as exemplified by the powder room, showcase unique, high-end materials like green stone and modern fixtures, reflecting a sophisticated and well-maintained aesthetic. Hardwood flooring is consistent throughout, and lighting is modern and recessed. The description emphasizes 'hand-selected, globally sourced materials' and 'masterful craftsmanship,' which is evident in the property's pristine state and contemporary feel, showing no signs of deferred maintenance or significant physical depreciation. The inclusion of fully owned solar further adds to its modern appeal and efficiency.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated just steps from Windansea Beach in the coveted Beach Barber Tract, offering unparalleled walkability to the ocean, boutique grocery stores, world-class dining, and vibrant neighborhood amenities in La Jolla Village and Bird Rock.
Distinguished Architectural Design: An architectural gem with timeless design, originally envisioned by renowned architect Lew Dominy of domusstudio, ensuring a unique and high-quality aesthetic.
Flexible & Luxurious Floor Plan: Designed for flexibility and privacy, featuring multiple bedroom suites, a custom home office, home gym, media room, and expansive terraces, catering to diverse modern living needs.
Superior Craftsmanship & Materials: Every detail is elevated by hand-selected, globally sourced materials and masterful craftsmanship, indicating a high standard of construction and finish.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with a fully owned solar system, providing significant energy savings and contributing to sustainable living.

Cons

Limited Lot Size: The lot size of 2,282 sqft is relatively small for a luxury home of 3,670 sqft in this price range, potentially limiting expansive private outdoor living space.
Partial Ocean View: While an ocean view is present, the 'Peek-A-Boo' designation suggests it is not a full, unobstructed panoramic vista, which some high-end buyers might expect in a coastal La Jolla property.
Absence of Explicit Outdoor Amenities: The description does not explicitly mention a private pool, spa, or significant dedicated outdoor entertaining areas, which could be a desired feature for luxury buyers in this market.
