Property Description

Kesling's Glass House at Spindrift Own a piece of architectural history that has seen thoughtful updates over the years while preserving original charm. Situated on the pristine sands of La Jolla Shores, this extraordinary property offers a rare and exclusive estate on a sprawling 19,603 sqft lot featuring three independent structures capturing a coastal center stage vantage point. Designed by notable architect William Kesling, (recently rediscovered and credited for pioneering the transition from Streamline Moderne to International style in Southern California), the Lower house is driven by structural integrity and purpose. Showcased by LIFE magazine in 1947 the home displays a time period, appropriately on the beaches on La Jolla Shores with starlets and style, and uniquely captured by renowned architectural photographer Julius Shulman. LOWER HOUSE: The bedrooms are well appointed. There is a loft with a view, a private kitchen, outdoor decks, a bar, family room, an elevator opening onto the pool deck, and a dedicated office. On the lower level there is an intimate wine cellar, hang out space and private office. UPPER HOUSE: The upper residence showcases a modern retreat designed for functional indoor-outdoor living. Breathtaking views from all entertaining spaces, ocean-view decks, landscaped garden, pool, separate living room, and full kitchen create the ultimate setting for relaxation or hosting. Additional bedrooms offer sweeping views of the Pacific from The La Jolla Cove to Carlsbad. For added flexibility, a beautifully appointed guest house with unexpected views, a private yard and separate entrance sitting discreetly off the main driveway—ideal for extended stays or visiting guests. Parking is unparalleled, with a private driveway and TWO 2-car garages! Situated mere steps from The Marine Room and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, this landmark residence embodies sophistication, comfort, and unmatched access to La Jolla's finest offerings. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience iconic coastal living!
