Property Description
An architecturally significant coastal mid-century modern residence by acclaimed architect Roger Matthews, where timeless design and ocean air converge to create a living work of art. Defined by strong horizontal lines, a refined low profile silhouette, and dramatic floor to ceiling glass, the home reads as both sculpture and sanctuary. Natural light pours through expansive walls of glass, framing bamboo vistas and capturing the soft coastal atmosphere that makes this setting so special. Original mid-century elements have been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced with sophisticated modern finishes, honoring the integrity of the architecture while elevating everyday living. Seamless indoor outdoor flow extends to decks on both sides of the home, inviting ocean breezes and creating intentional spaces for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, and effortless entertaining. Located in the desired Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla, just moments from the coastline, it’s a rare opportunity that combines standout design with an easy coastal lifestyle. It is a true legacy property for the design minded buyer.
