The iconic Lowry McClanahan/Thomas Shepherd Residence is available — an architectural jewel and historically designated landmark (HRB No. 710), complete with a Mills Act agreement for significant property tax savings. Tucked away on a quiet street in the esteemed La Jolla Hills and designed in 1936 by Master Architect, Thomas Shepherd, this Colonial Revival estate has been lovingly restored, offering timeless elegance across a generous .33-acre lot framed by lush privacy hedges and manicured gardens. Every detail of this home speaks to its pedigree — from the original oak flooring, intricate millwork, and built-ins, to the natural light that fills each carefully curated space. The main level offers a versatile layout ideal for modern living and entertaining. The grand living room features classic wainscoting, an original masonry fireplace, and French doors that open to a serene loggia with views of the expansive backyard. A charming formal dining room with bay window and corner built-ins flows into a beautifully updated chef’s kitchen and butler’s pantry, complete with creamy cabinetry, Corian countertops, paneled appliances, and a walnut-topped center island. Step onto the elevated entertaining deck or enjoy alfresco dining surrounded by roses below. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and two full baths include a private primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a sun-drenched en-suite bath. A cozy den, powder room, and rare basement/utility space add to the home’s function and charm. 7716 Lookout Drive is more than just a residence — it’s a legacy. A rare offering to own a masterwork of La Jolla’s architectural heritage and create the next chapter in its storied history.

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.
