About this home
Back on Market - Absolutely NO fault of the property! This is not just a home — it is a timeless Mid-Century Modern work of art, personally designed by legendary master architect Lloyd Ruocco, and flawlessly reimagined into a stunning modernist dream overlooking the Pacific. This is not a remodel. This is a revival of greatness. From the moment you enter, you are transported into an era of effortless glamour where La Jolla's coastal beauty became the backdrop for true architectural greatness. Towering walls of glass vanish seamlessly into the structure, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out, and unveiling sweeping panoramic ocean views across La Jolla Shores and Mt. Soledad. Sunlight floods every room. The horizon becomes part of the design. Outside, an ocean-view yard and pool sit in perfect orientation, creating a private resort-like sanctuary where days melt into golden sunsets and evenings feel cinematic. Ruocco’s signature mastery shines throughout — the extraordinary interplay of glass, warm redwood, and impeccable scale, creating spaces that feel simultaneously grand, intimate, and unforgettable. Vaulted ceilings soar overhead, oversized windows frame the coastline like art, and exquisite woodwork delivers an ambiance of rare sophistication. A once-in-a-generation architectural masterpiece. Please note that the new owner will enjoy the benefits of this home being Historically Designated as a Mill Act home. The current taxes are $11k a year. Iconic. Irreplaceable. Stunning beyond words....
