1406 La Jolla Knoll

Set in the heart of one of La Jolla's best neighborhoods, this Spanish Revival style home offers an enviable combination of ocean views, privacy and essentially single-level living, all just minutes from the Village. The main, entry level holds the primary bedroom, a second bedroom and a private office with fireplace, all with ocean views, while two additional bedrooms, laundry and the garage are tucked below. High ceilings, a beautiful fireplace and French doors that open the living room to the entry patio create a wonderful flow for both everyday living and entertaining, as does the spacious dining room with a butler's pantry. The kitchen has a charming built-in breakfast nook. The home sits on a large lot adjacent to a decommissioned City reservoir, which gives it an unusually open, expansive feeling rarely found this close to the coast. Believed to be a 1927/28 work of Lilian Rice, the home retains its original character: white stucco, clay tile, deeply recessed openings, an intimate courtyard, and interiors with the details of a master architect. The house creates a rare opportunity for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a true La Jolla classic in one of the area's most desirable enclaves.
