Description

The "Crown Jewel of La Jolla" is a mid-century Spanish style oceanfront estate. This historical landmark by Architect, John Lloyd Wright has a designated Mills Act. Breathtaking 180 degree whitewater ocean views from almost every room with walls of glass on .64 acres with a pool and guest house. Rare to find parking for over 10 cars, an easy walking distance to La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, restaurants, art galleries and the Village. Live the dream in a gorgeous tropical paradise. Built in 1947 by John Godwin and Architect, John Lloyd Wright, son of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright was known as the "Greatest Architect of the 20th Century." This home has a designated Mills Act Landmark #432, that makes this the ultimate tax treasure. Incredible tax and grant incentives i.e., seller's 2019 taxes $11,300. Trademark "Wright" architectural detailing on entry doors, cabinets, flooring, and the use of cantilever construction. House may be remodeled inside to buyer's taste. There are 3 bedrooms in the main house and the top floor bedroom has no closet but a closet toilet room. There is a very inviting oversized detached guest house with an enormous bedroom which can be used as a gym/sports court or office. Surrounded by exotic landscaping, this property is reminiscent of Big Sur, South of France and the Amalfi Coast!
