Less than a five minute drive down scenic winding roads takes you to the beaches, galleries, shops and restaurants in the village of La Jolla, yet your hilltop escape offers privacy and quiet with lush gardens and spacious, elegantly comfortable living. Need a break from the beach? Enjoy your private community recreation club with two swimming pools, tennis courts, volleyball, basketball, and jacuzzi all in a beautiful park like setting....just a one block stroll from your own back yard.

Enter this modern two story, 3200 square foot home through custom designed wrought iron gates opening to a private patio and front door surrounded by eighteen foot stained glass windows. The marble entry and sweeping brass banister lead upstairs to a spacious, deluxe master suite with a seating nook overlooking the ocean views...morning coffee has never been better. The roomy bathroom has a deep marble tub for soaking in the views, a relaxing easy chair, his and her marble vanities, plentiful mirrored closets, and a separate shower room. Two queen guestrooms and a bath complete the upstairs living area.

The main level offers a large, sunlit kitchen with corian and granite counters, hardwood floors, a refrigerated wine closet, and large sliding windows that pass through to outdoor dining. Every amenity is here, from cooking spices to coffee grinder, bagel toaster to jenn-air cooktop. There's plenty of room to sit and watch the chef, or dine casually indoors. The formal dining room is walled with mirrors so no one misses the view.

Beautifully decorated in neutral tones, the comfortably elegant living room has twenty foot ceilings with full length windows looking toward the ocean. It's one spot to watch TV or relax in the swivel rockers in front of the fire. Fine art decorates the walls, and oriental rugs are underfoot.

A library nearby opens to the front patio, walled with sweet evening jasmine and camilla trees. The couch can become a single hideabed and a large desk provides a quiet spot for office work, with another full bathroom across the hall.

The spacious family room has large sliding doors opeining to the grassy yard and decks and patios overlooking the panoramic view. A wraparound sectional and leather reclining chair make this the favorite spot for the family to gather for TV, playing games, or relaxing together.

Each evening, you can watch the distant fireworks at Sea World, and listen to the bark of the seals at the Cove.
