Lovingly owned by Nobel Prize-winner and This rare jewel bears the hallmarks of Southern California Spanish Architecture that is iconic & holistic and was inspired by the vernacular of early California and Mexico, she infused the home with warmth and elegance—whitewashed stucco walls, red-tile roofing, wrought iron details, and intimate garden spaces that invite harmony with the landscape. The home’s layout is centered around a serene courtyard anchored by a reflection pond, evoking the romance and simplicity of a bygone era. Five spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two powder rooms are gracefully woven into a floorplan that encourages both celebration and contemplation. Indoor and outdoor living flow seamlessly, with grand entertaining areas opening to lush ocean-view terraces and a backyard ideal for gatherings under the stars. Rich in provenance and architectural character, this is not just a home—it is a legacy. A place where history, art, and nature converge in one of La Jolla’s most storied and breathtaking settings.
