This mid-century home has an aura of magic about it. Making the most of its hillside position with a number of terraces, glass walls offer views over the gardens and a stunning rooftop deck looks out across the city, the ocean and the bay. A big house with a lot to explore, we think the decor, is enchanting – with calming tones of blue, white and gold, adding a feeling of tranquillity. Hidden corners of the home ensure that you’ll always find a peaceful space for yourself, whether you choose to nap on a sofa in a sunny corner, read in the hammock or laze beneath the trees. The gardens offer fabulous seating areas, as well as a hot tub, fire pit and trampoline, while keen cooks can get to grips with the excellent grill station. The San Diego coastline, with the beauty of Sunset Cliffs and Ocean Beach, is only a fifteen-minute walk away. After a day frolicking in the surf or basking in the perfect Californian climate, come together to watch the sunset from the roof – drink in hand. If there's a musician among you, you'll love the baby grand and the guitars in the home.
