Mid-century curves define this reimagined single-story home in Ladera Heights, renovated with permits and anchored by a double-sided fireplace shared between living and family rooms. Sweeping tray ceilings and a wall of new bi-fold doors that open the living space directly to the backyard carry that architectural rhythm through the home, drawing in natural light. The fireplace’s smooth stucco surround, finished with a soft lime-wash texture and flanked by built-in bookshelves, ties the living and family rooms together. In the dining room, a rounded wall of floor-to-ceiling windows continues the sculptural theme. The kitchen features walnut-stained white oak cabinetry, a zellige mosaic backsplash, and an oversized island. A dry bar beside the dining room continues the finish beneath a grasscloth-textured wallcovering, and a dedicated office/bonus room nearby offers flexible space for work or lounging. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a sliding door to the backyard, with a spa-inspired bath featuring a zellige-tiled, frameless glass shower and a freestanding soaking tub tucked beneath the window. Two additional bathrooms carry their own personality, one in soft blush tones, the other in a cooler sage palette, each finished with antique brass hardware. Outside, a Saltillo-tiled covered patio, built-in BBQ, and a separate fire-pit patio extend living outdoors, framed by fresh landscaping on a generous lot. Minutes from Culver City and Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, with easy freeway and LAX access, the location rounds out the appeal.

Known as one of the most prestigious communities in San Diego, La Jolla truly lives up to its reputation. From stunning grand homes perched high on the hill of Mount Soledad to multi-million-dollar contemporary homes that line the ocean view bluffs and sandy beaches, real estate opportunities offer a variety of upscale yet also moderately priced condominiums and townhomes. Referred to as “the jewel” of San Diego County, residents enjoy world-class restaurants, luxury boutiques, art galleries, and museums, surrounded by one of the more beautiful coastlines in the country. Landmarks include the upscale La La Valencia, a Mediterranean style oceanfront resort, as well as several nature/wildlife areas, parks, hiking trails, and top municipal golf courses such as Torrey Pines Golf Course, site of the 2008 U. S. Open Golf Tournament. Two of San Diego’s top employers are located in La Jolla, Scripps Health, recognized by Fortune Magazine as a top company to work, and the University of California, San Diego. With an excellent school district, including several private school choices, La Jolla is ideal for those that desire an exceptional quality of life.
