257 Playa Del Sur

La Jolla, CA 92037

Located just steps from the iconic surf break at Windansea Beach, this architecturally significant residence is positioned in the heart of La Jolla's Beach-Barber Tract. Recipient of a 2003 AIA Gold Award and featured in San Diego Home & Garden, the home pairs design pedigree with everyday coastal living. Floor-to-ceiling glass welcomes natural light and ocean views across multiple levels, while sculptural concrete and warm wood elements create a distinctive yet inviting atmosphere. Inspired by early California modernism, custom redwood sliding systems extend living spaces outward to multiple decks, encouraging seamless indoor-outdoor living. Elevated ceilings enhance the sense of openness and volume. The Bulthaup kitchen features custom cabinetry and premium Sub-Zero refrigeration, opening to generous living and dining areas anchored by dual fireplaces. Leathered marble tile and grey oak hardwoods add warmth and texture throughout. The second-level primary suite offers ocean views through full-height glass. An intimate 8x8 sitting room with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and outdoor space all combine to create a spacious retreat. The spa-inspired bath features a Hydro Systems soaking tub and opens to its own deck where you can watch the surf. The expansive rooftop deck is ideal for entertaining and sunset viewing. This is a rare opportunity to own a beach-close architectural home where the sound of the waves becomes part of daily life.
