Property Description
Designed by Sim Bruce Richards, Master Architect and Frank Lloyd Wright protégé, this is not simply a home. It is a living testament to one of Southern California's most visionary architectural minds. Conceived in the purest tradition of Mid-Century design, Richards built upon a philosophy rooted in his years alongside Wright: that architecture should never impose upon the land, but emerge from it. Perched above San Diego with commanding views of the bay and city skyline, every beam and detail was drawn with singular intention. Cedar lined walls, soaring open beam ceilings, and original architect designed fireplaces anchor the living spaces not as ornament but as soul. New oak hardwood floors and light pouring from every angle honor Richards' belief that a home should breathe. The gourmet kitchen commands attention with Viking Pro appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration, quartz countertops, and European birch cabinetry. The primary suite opens to a private deck where panoramic bay and city views greet each morning and the skyline glows at dusk. Beyond the French doors lies a private tropical sanctuary. Lush lava stone gardens frame a pool, spa, and cascading waterfall. A full outdoor kitchen with BBQ, pizza oven, flat grill, and a gazebo create an entertainer's landscape without equal. Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, two garage parking spaces, two covered parking spaces, a private alley complete this incomparable offering. Minutes from the ocean, the bay, and downtown San Diego yet entirely a world apart. Some homes are built. This one was composed.
