Midcentury classic

-

With a classic style that captures the casual bayside charm and captivatin­g San Diego city views of Point Loma’s La Playa neighborho­od, this private home offers authentic midcentury modern flair combined with modern updates. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,554-squarefoot house was designed by San Diego master architect Ralph Frank in 1942. The understate­d wood exterior opens to a bright interior that incorporat­es the spectacula­r view into everyday life. Every window offers views of the bay or gardens. Original solid oak floors and doors add to the warmth and retro vibe, while the open, renovated kitchen with granite counters and natural slate flooring bring the home into the 21st century. The home is within walking distance of the world-renowned San Diego Yacht Club as well as the Southweste­rn Yacht Club, Kellogg Beach and the restaurant­s in the village of Point

Loma. The quiet enclave is also convenient to the airport and downtown. The neighborho­od of La Playa has a long history and is known as the place where Portuguese explorer Juan Cabrillo first set foot on land what was to become California. The home, situated on a onethird acre lot, has custom cabinetry throughout, including the kitchen, bathrooms, library, laundry room and office niche.
