Description

The laureate house a legacy of art, architecture, and awe-inspiring views perched above the la jolla country club with sweeping panoramic vistas of the pacific ocean and the village below, the laureate house is a once-in-a-lifetime offering—an enchanting spanish colonial revival estate that radiates history, beauty, and soul. lovingly owned by nobel prize-winner and purportedly designed by legendary architect lillian rice, this rare jewel bears the hallmarks of rice’s iconic, holistic vision. inspired by the vernacular of early california and mexico, she infused the home with warmth and elegance—whitewashed stucco walls, red-tile roofing, wrought iron details, and intimate garden spaces that invite harmony with the landscape. the home’s layout is centered around a serene courtyard anchored by a reflection pond, evoking the romance and simplicity of a bygone era. five spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two powder rooms are gracefully woven into a floorplan that encourages both celebration and contemplation. indoor and outdoor living flow seamlessly, with grand entertaining areas opening to lush ocean-view terraces and a backyard ideal for gatherings under the stars. rich in provenance and architectural character, this is not just a home—it is a legacy. a place where history, art, and nature converge in one of la jolla’s most storied and breathtaking settings.
