An architectural masterpiece designed by the renowned Mid-Century Modern visionary John Lloyd Wright, this extraordinary estate epitomizes coastal elegance and sophisticated living. Nestled atop one of the most expansive and prestigious parcels in Olde Del Mar, this remarkable residence offers breathtaking panoramic ocean vistas stretching from the pristine shores of Del Mar Beaches to the iconic cliffs of La Jolla. Spanning 4,243 square feet, the main house is a testament to Wright’s genius, boasting his signature ceiling designs, an awe-inspiring spiral staircase that flows effortlessly through the home, and an original stained-glass entrance feature that sets the tone for refined luxury. The expansive basement adds to the grandeur, complementing the four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout. The primary suite, located on the main level, exudes tranquility, while an additional family room on the upper floor provides an ideal retreat.

With a master suite, full kitchen, and a family room centered around an elegant fireplace, this guest home offers absolute comfort. A secluded meditation garden completes this serene haven, inviting moments of reflection amid lush surroundings.
