Property Description
A Timeless Architectural Masterpiece in La Playa! Introducing a rare opportunity to own a historic California Craftsman, originally built in 1928 and masterfully designed by renowned architect Emmor Brooke Weaver, a protégé of the legendary Irving Gill. Thoughtfully restored and reimagined for modern living, this Point Loma gem was honored with the SOHO Architecture Remodel of the Year in 2024. Nestled in the highly coveted La Playa neighborhood, this residence seamlessly blends old-world craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. Constructed with an extensive use of natural materials, the home features vertical board and batten wood siding, and a hipped cedar-shingled roof with exposed rafter tails — classic hallmarks of the Craftsman tradition. Inside, rich oak hardwood floors and coffered ceilings with Douglas fir create a warm and timeless atmosphere. Mahogany casement windows with jalousie screens allow natural light and fresh air to filter through, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large olive trees have been thoughtfully planted for both privacy and ambiance. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with top of the line appliances. A secondary bar area includes a wine fridge, an eat in kitchen, a built-in wine storage, perfect for entertaining. The adjacent family room — part of the award-winning addition — mirrors the home's original redwood features using all-mahogany cabinetry, paneling, and built-ins. this is more than a home — it's a once-in-a-generation legacy property!
