On a flat and private corner lot of over 1.5 acres in the iconic seaside neighborhood of La Jolla Farms where homeowners are granted a gate key for car access to world-renowned Black's Beach, this timeless property offers a generous slice and views of La Jolla’s most exclusive coastline. Wrapped in privacy, this elegant home designed with South of France, Santa Barbara, and Napa Valley influences enchants with a gated brick motor court, two large manicured lawns surrounded by lush and mature trees, meandering pathways, and a secret garden. Partial ocean views and scenes of sunsets and hang gliders surfing across the horizon are enjoyed from all bedrooms upstairs including a sun/art room with an adjacent covered terrace. Sun and ocean breezes pour through the endless teak French doors and windows. Wall-to-wall Texas limestone with zoned hydronic in-floor heating and indoor-outdoor continuity creates a clean and open feel. The high ceilings throughout are framed with reclaimed fir beams. The expansive chefs kitchen offers a large dining area that easily fits a 10-person table with al fresco options beckoning just outside. The downstairs guest suite is a perfect secondary primary bedroom with an adjoining room that can be used as an office or gym. Additional features include solar, a detached storage casita, central heat and AC, attached garage, and endless space to play. La Jolla Farms is a waterfront neighborhood above Blacks Beach, one of the most desirable surfing destinations in Southern California. Neighborhood benefits include fob entry and a parking permit to access Blacks Beach and the greater Torrey Pines State Beach, opt-in neighborhood 24/7 security surveillance, scenic hiking trails including a little-known walking path to the Torrey Pines Glider Port and Torrey Pines Golf Course, and excellent accessibility to nearby La Jolla Shores, freeways, and conveniences.
