Description

Perched atop the highly sought-after La Jolla Palisades, this architectural gem delivers an unmatched coastal lifestyle where dramatic, whitewater ocean and bay views meet the lights of downtown San Diego. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the main floor plan transitions seamlessly as the entire living room and kitchen open directly onto one of the neighborhood's premier rooftop terraces. Whether you are hosting friends around the outdoor fireplace, unwinding in the private spa or taking in front-row seats to the Sea World fireworks, this outdoor living space is truly one of a kind. Inside, the home balances refined luxury with exceptional functionality, centered around a dream kitchen featuring rich, honed marble countertops, a stylish herringbone tile backsplash, and bespoke custom cabinetry, ambient lighting and a pleasing color palette. Beyond this home's exquisite finishes, it offers a remarkably thoughtful floor plan with abundant hidden storage and sweeping panoramic views of the city, bay and the ocean framed from every major room. Properties boasting this level of craftspacial design and unmatched elevation, rarely hit the market.
