$14,900,000 | Built 1970 | 6,338 Sq. Ft. | 4 Beds | 5.5+ Baths | 1.03 Acres
Nestled on a private oceanfront plot over an acre in La Jolla’s most sought-after street, this stunning 6,300 square foot property is listed for $14.9 million. Initially created by Frederick Liebhardt—an apprentice of the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright—for his mother’s residence, the home underwent renovations by Henry Hester, another respected mid-century modern architect who previously collaborated with Liebhardt. More recently, Hill Construction and NYC designer Eddie Lee modernized the living spaces, enhancing the interior to highlight seamless lines, airy environments, and an indoor/outdoor aesthetic while introducing elements that promote comfort and the beachy vibe expected from such an elegant property.
The residence is discreetly positioned away from the street, offering breathtaking panoramic ocean views that stretch over the Big Rock surf break towards the famous Windansea Beach and extend northward to Palos Verdes. The generous main level incorporates all essential living and entertainment areas, including the kitchen and master suite. Features such as his and hers master bathrooms/closets, a centrally located pool shielded from chilly ocean breezes, an expansive teak deck with ocean views, and extensive floor-to-ceiling glass alongside French doors provide a glimpse of the luxurious lifestyle available in this remarkable location. According to property records, this home was last sold in 2015 for $14.3 million, and it was listed again in March 2019 for $19 million. Now, the property is under contract and available for $14.9 million through Ross Clark of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
