About this home
For the first time in over 30 years, 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.
