You are in for a gorgeous surprise! At the end of quiet cul-de-sac in the flats of La Jolla Shores is a home that, from the street, is understated by design. However, on the other side of an open-air courtyard, complete with a travertine-wall waterfall, is an absolutely gorgeous residence.

It is contemporary in the best of ways; warmth and livability prevail. The spaces have great volume and generous sizes but are cozy. There are 6 bedroom suites, 6 full and 2 half baths, an office, den, media room, a gym/yoga studio, and more. There are 2 master bedrooms, one on the entry level with a library, and a sumptuous master upstairs with ocean views. The family room has a wood-and-leather custom drop ceiling and walls of glass leading to the resort-style backyard. The fully-equipped kitchen is a gourmet's delight and can be closed off from the family room.

Other public areas include square-shaped living and dining rooms, both of which invite entertaining. There is a staircase that is a work of art and the centerpiece of the home. It is too beautiful for words...seeming to float between all three floors.

The home was designed to perfection by Island Architects and Diarq Diseno y Arquitectura. The finishes and color palate were purposefully selected to enhance the aesthetics and sense of harmony.

The outdoor environment is equally pleasing and there is an easy flow from inside to outside spaces. A wine cellar, elevator and large-capacity garage that can accommodate between 7 to 9 cars are offered. A very, very beautiful home.
