Modern

Perched above La Jolla Shores with sweeping 270-degree views, this striking architectural home celebrates form, light, and the beauty of its natural surroundings. Thoughtfully redesigned with a focus on modern livability, the residence balances mid-century inspiration with contemporary refinement. A reverse floor plan maximizes the breathtaking coastal panorama—from the distant mountains of East County to the shimmering Pacific Ocean. Walls of glass, exposed beams, and vaulted cedar ceilings flood the interiors with warmth and light, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. The reimagined kitchen offers a refined minimalist aesthetic with flat-panel European-style cabinetry, open shelving, and sleek quartz countertops—perfectly aligned with the home’s architectural vision. Each bathroom has been artfully renewed with a serene, spa-like design that emphasizes natural textures and clean lines. An inviting gated courtyard sets the tone for what lies within, opening to a dramatic glass pivot entry and open-riser staircase that frames ocean views beyond. Modern updates include a new standing seam metal roof (2024), epoxy-coated garage floors, a newer HVAC system (2023), and owned solar—ensuring both comfort and sustainability. Set on a secluded .51-acre lot, the grounds are a living work of art—lushly landscaped with sculptural plantings, mature pines, and layered greenery that provide total privacy. The pool and surrounding gardens create an intimate outdoor retreat just moments from La Jolla Shores Beach, world-class dining, and the village. A rare harmony of architecture, landscape, and light—**2551 Via Viesta** is a private coastal sanctuary that captures the essence of La Jolla living.
