Positioned prominently above the iconic rock that is the namesake of one of La Jolla’s favorite neighborhoods, the house at Bird Rock has an incredibly desirable combination of features. It offers panoramic, front row views with a bird's eye perspective of the vibrantly colorful and ever changing ocean below, and an orientation that perfectly frames the surf breaks and mesmerizing sunsets, all from a location in close proximity to the charming allure of the restaurants, shops, galleries and neighborhood amenities of Bird Rock. The floor plan includes an upstairs primary suite with breathtaking ocean views, 4 secondary bedroom suites, a powder bath and 2 offices, and an oceanfront patio with multiple sitting areas and jacuzzi spa. The home is great for entertaining and enjoys a laid back yet luxurious feel that exceeds expectations set by the understated curb appeal. The site has one of the most robust and permitted retaining earth walls in the area that supports the land on the ocean side, which adds to the usable outdoor space and ensures peace of mind not always enjoyed from properties of this kind. Being adjacent to a stairwell down to the water provides the best of all worlds - bluff top views, secure privacy for a beach location, and easy access to all of the natural wonde
