Description
Located in this hidden, wooded gem of a neighborhood with a secret coded gate for accessing its beautiful trail to Black's Beach, this home is the only San Diego residence originally designed by Albert Frey, the iconic mid-century modernist architect who paved the way of International Modern Style in Palm Springs, embracing the marriage of his two favorite elements: nature and architecture. Broad, private, flat gardens are richly wooded with mature trees, offering seaside forest-like ambience--and interiors with vast walls of glass and luxury Miele appliances have been brightened and updated for today (but could quite easily be restored to Frey's vision by the purist who prefers earthy mid-century style.) Residences in "Ellentown," this area close to UCSD, Biotech Mesa, La Jolla Shores Beach and Village with easy freeway entry, are rarely available for sale and have been home to many of La Jolla's most esteemed residents.
