The Oceanfront Splendor of La Jolla, With an Italian Flavor
- Share via
One of the largest, privately owned oceanfront parcels in San Diego County and one of the highest asking prices in the state distinguish this Italian Renaissance-style home, which has views from downtown La Jolla to Dana Point.
The owner, a longtime San Diego businessman active in the financial world, purchased the property in 1989. He tore down the existing house and built a new home on the site in 1994. Now he plans to move to another part of San Diego.
About this house: Situated behind massive bronze gates with access via a long, cobblestone driveway, the home has a limestone courtyard with a tennis court, outdoor fireplace, lap pool, spa and terrace with limestone balustrades and a 1920s Italian fountain. Beyond the courtyard is a rolling lawn, rose garden and gazebo, all with views of the coastline.
Asking price: $41 million
Size: Six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms in about 17,000 square feet, on 5.88 acres
Features: The main house features a foyer with a 31-foot ceiling. The upper level has three bedrooms and a gallery. The lower level has a dining room, wet bar, grand salon and living room with a stone fireplace. The other three bedrooms are in the separate guest suite, which has a gym with steam shower, and the detached staff quarters. There is a five-car garage.
