On The Market: San Diego, California
March 1, 2006
LOCATION: On 120 feet of ocean frontage in Del Mar, one of San Diego’s most
coveted beachfront communities.
HISTORY: Current owners bought the estate 10
years ago and hired noted architect Kenneth Ronchetti to guide renovations,
which included tearing down the existing structures and adding more property to
the estate. (Click image to enlarge)
STATS: The 5,700-square-foot main house includes four bedrooms,
five and a half baths, and an infinity pool in the middle of a glass-walled
courtyard. The pool is elevated, affording swimmers a view of the Pacific, and
the courtyard walls are retractable, blending indoor and outdoor living. The
remaining property is devoted to a 2,800-square-foot health spa, a tennis court,
an orchid house, two guesthouses and a 14-seat home theater.
WHAT SETS IT APART: The home is part of the new Architectural Collection Division of
Prudential California Realty. “Homes in this collection fit into one of three
types of residences: architectural properties, grand estates or waterfront
homes,” says Stephen Sutherland, executive director for the new division. “This
home is all three, and the land alone is worth the asking price.” (Click image to enlarge)
