About this home
Welcome to the pinnacle of luxury living in Del Mar. Perched above the coast, this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath hillside home delivers sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, Torrey Pines, and the natural valleys below. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames a sit-down whitewater view from multiple spaces, making the roughly 3,500 square feet of interior space—plus 1,000 square feet of outdoor living—feel even more expansive. The open-concept main level connects a newly remodeled kitchen, cozy dining space, bright living area, a half bath, and an elevated bonus room/loft. A wall of vanishing accordion doors opens completely at this level, creating a seamless flow to multiple patios, blurring the lines between the indoors and out. Just below the main level is a large primary suite (with its own outdoor wraparound patio), as well as the second bedroom and second full bath. One level further below is the third bedroom (currently being used as an office), with its own en suite full bathroom. From the garage to the top floor, you can move effortlessly between all levels via the home's central elevator. Back to the heart of the home: at the center of the main living space is a chef-grade kitchen equipped with premium appliances, stone surfaces, an oversized island, and newly installed cabinetry—all positioned so you can watch waves break in the distance while preparing a meal. With vibrant, rich colors framing your panoramic view at both sunrise and sunset; this is a room you'll never want to leave. Additional features include owned solar panels and central air conditioning, though the coastal breeze at this home rarely requires it. This is a property best experienced in person.

Del Mar Heights, located between Carmel Valley and Torrey Pines, is a coastal and residential San Diego neighborhood with canyon-cut streets and ocean-breeze overlooks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Del Mar Highlands Town Center on El Camino Real, where patios, boutiques, and coffee counters keep the sidewalks in motion. Community touchstones include One Paseo’s restaurant-and-retail blocks, the Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas at Del Mar Highlands, and the Del Mar Racetrack just west of the bluffs. Homes lean toward clean-lined contemporary remodels and classic Southern California ranch forms, often set above greenbelts. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve frames the western edge with trailheads and sandstone views. Daily life orbits around shopping plazas, coastal drives, and quick hops to the beach towns.

Your quest for the ultimate expression of coastal contemporary architecture will end at this custom Del Mar Terrace masterpiece. The multi-level hillside design is embraced by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, welcoming panoramic ocean, whitewater, Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, Torrey Headlands, and lush valley views. Distant trains, seasonal weather, and kaleidoscopic sunsets embellish an ever-changing backdrop that complements preferred living at the home, which extends approximately 3,500 square feet inside with another 1,000 square feet outside. An elevator and Honduran mahogany staircase service every level of the residence, providing easy access to a versatile loft, an enormous living area with wraparound windows, and a formal dining room. Dacor appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, blue pearl granite and a bar are displayed in a chef-caliber kitchen that hosts custom matching mahogany cabinetry. Accordion glass doors slide away to the main terrace, which is ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Intimate patios and a dining deck ensure that inside and out are united wherever possible. High-tech systems and amenities enhance comfort and convenience, complete with dual furnaces, Lutron lighting, instant hot water and security cameras.
