Built in 1962 by the Drogin Construction Company is this
Palmer & Krisel-designed home in La Jolla Crest, San Diego, CA. This
expanded home includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 2,300 square feet,
sits on a 10,000 square-foot lot with an in-ground pool and includes a large
roof deck with Mission Bay views and carries an asking price of $1,450,000.
The front of the home still retains its original midcentury
lines and proportions, but has been resurfaced with a smooth plaster-like
finish. Entry is gained through a recessed central courtyard with double doors.
Raised planters filled with well-kept plantings separate the front yard from
the adjacent roadway, and conceal a small patch of turf.

Inside, the living and dining rooms sit along the north side
of the home, the kitchen lies at the center, and the bedrooms are sited along
the south side of the home. The entry leads into the linear living room, which
opens to the adjacent dining area. The original vaulted ceilings are in place,
with drywall covering the original wood in the living rooms areas, and original
exposed wood in the bedrooms. Clean concrete floors line the home, giving it a
light, contemporary feel.

The master bedroom sits at the rear corner of the house, and
provides French doors leading out the backyard of the home. The master bathroom
has been opened to the bedroom, and features a traditional renovation, with
white tiled countertops, a large oval soaking tub and lots of glass block. The
remaining two bedrooms sit adjacent to the master, both in their original
configurations.

The backyard features a large in-ground pool at the center
of the yard, surrounded by ample patio space and lush, mature plantings giving
the space resort-like feel. A white pergola sits across the pool, set amid well
sculpted shrubbery and a privacy fence. A sundeck sits above the family room addition
at the rear of the home, providing Mission Bay and city light views.
