Historical beauty
This midcentury Spanish oceanfront estate is designated as an historical site, created by renowned architect John Lloyd Wright. He was the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, often regarded as the greatest architect of the 20th century. Built in 1947, the home has panoramic, 180-degree ocean views from almost every room. Tranquil sounds of the surf can be heard in the long, private entry. Swim in your own secluded pool or enjoy quiet time among the more than seven courtyard patios on .64 acres. The property also includes a separate guest house and parking for more than 10 vehicles.
Trademark Wright architectural detailing is evident on entry doors, cabinets, desks, flooring, galleries and hallways. The tri-level home has three bedrooms in the main house and one in the guest house. Surrounded by beautiful tropical landscaping, exotic palm trees and canyon bluffs, this sensational ocean-view property is reminiscent
of Big Sur in Northern California, the south of France, and Italy’s Amalfi Coast.
The Historical Resources Board for the city of San Diego confirmed this property as the historical site designation of the Judkins/j.l. Wright House 194647. With property-tax reductions by the Mills Act, this home has great potential for tax, grant and loan incentives. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
