(relaxing music) What's been very sad to see in La Jolla is people coming into a site
and tearing everything down. The true uniqueness of this home is how they took care to blend it
into the landscaping and the hillside. Designing and building
an architectural home is no easy task. It requires abundance of resources, meticulous planning,
and resilient execution. These qualities, balanced well, can transform an idea
of a sketch into a reality. And that's what we're looking at today. A home that serves as an homage to the past, but continues
to live in the future. Design that's striking yet minimalist creative approach that looks at a home
as an architectural experiment. So without further ado, let's go
take a look at this stunning home. (upbeat music) All right, everyone. Once again, welcome
to La Jolla, California. I'm beyond excited. For today's tour, we're checking out this amazing architectural home that features
so many different finishes. Board form concrete walls, cantilevered
roof lines, connectivity to the outdoors. And it also comes with an amazing story, which I'm really excited
to share with all of you. Now, I'm currently on the
motor court right now. We have the gates opening up
to a curved driveway lined with trees. And that driveway brings
you to this point. You can easily park 15 to 20 cars here. This section is also hedged,
extremely private property. Also comes with a top
of the line security system. And right before you
arrive to the motor court, you actually go
underneath this covered section. They have recessed in floor lighting, so at night, this space
lights up beautifully. It also houses the two car garage
that we have on this side. And that's basically
the continuation of this property. And that's the entry right there. Now, I want to bring everybody to this
point because we have a beautiful, urban garden here with a Japanese black
pine tree, granite boulder. And this landscaping detail here really blends in with the architectural
lines of this home. On the back, you can see the stucco finish
as well as the board form concrete wall, which we're going to see
throughout this home. And it's just a nice industrial, strong texture that really complements
the facade of this beautiful home. Now let's go to this side. This is actually, a gate that moves. - [Mikey] Really? Yeah.
So on this side, I'm going to leave it closed for now because you can access
to your backyard directly from your driveway in case you have events and you
don't want people to go through your home. But we wanted to have it on this side because we also have another
two car garage right here. Looks beautiful. You have the cedar paneling
on the garage door as well. Board form concrete wall continues. And then we come to the entry. Now, I'm really going to take my time
to talk about the details here. This is where you get your first peek
of the Pacific Ocean, and to bring that
water element to the entry, they placed this beautiful water feature, curved it really nicely
to accommodate the walkway. That takes you to the oval garden, which
is located down below on the property. And it sets this amazing tone
right before you enter the home. Now, I also really like how the water reflects on this board from concrete wall,
and to take it step further, they even incorporated the steps
into the water feature. I mean, this entry is amazing. You have the Pacific Ocean,
your water feature. Then you look at the home and you realize that second floor
cantilevers over the entry. And even though it looks like it's resting
on the first floor, it's actually not. They used that space to place clerestory
windows to bring natural light and ventilation to the lower level,
which is fascinating. And on top of that, right behind me, is one of the three cork oak trees
that are located on this property. When they designed this home, they built
the entire compound around these trees. And that's why they called
this house the tree house. I wanted to mention that. Now, follow me this way. Coming to the entry, we have a glass
pivot door that opens up to the home. So it was really important from the moment you step onto the property to the moment
you start going through the property that that whole transition
had to be very Zen like. As you walk in the front door,
you have a lot of depth. As you walk through the house,
you see the cork trees. You hear sounds of water. You had to feel I really,
really love where I live. Every room you're in has
a special element to it, that makes you feel
tranquil and relaxed. Now, off of the foyer we have honed limestone floors, plaster walls,
warm walnut paneling. And before we continue our tour here,
I actually want to take a step back for a second because on my left hand side, we have this
architectural staircase opening, that leads you to the lower
level as well as the second floor. Between the board form,
concrete wall, open riser design. It's just a really nice frame. Now, coming back to the entry and going to the other side,
we have the formal dining room. Circular table in the center,
gorgeous chairs. You have a service counter here
with refrigerated drawers. Really nice bar display. More built ins here. And yeah, this is your dining room. Now, right in the center we got this gorgeous Steinway & Sons piano,
dressing the room really nicely. And behind me is the staircase
that I mentioned. Off of the foyer, it goes
up to the second floor. This is actually not the main staircase. We're going to see the main
one later in the tour. Now, follow me this way. Beautiful seating area. This is technically your
formal living room. Love the coffee table in the center. Few chairs, couch, and, can we cover this floating gas fireplace. I love the design
in here and how you have picture windows around the fireplace,
and the top section floats. So from the exterior,
this wall looks so cool. And obviously, from the interior,
you have this minimalist look. Then you have your comfortable seating. Then the entire room is surrounded
by picture windows facing the views. That's the Pacific Ocean right there. Down below us is the oval garden. And this is just beautiful. Now, if all that wasn't enough,
this living room cantilevers about 18 plus feet above the garden
that's below us. Looking at this room from the exterior
is such a beautiful architectural frame. In fact, right behind me is also the second cork tree that they
built this house around. And having a picture window here, seeing your main patio,
oval garden is just beautiful. I'm out of words, and I feel like this
room right here, we've seen it before. At another property in Hollywood Hills. Belgave. Oh, yeah.
Remember Belgave had a living room that was like this that can
cantilevered over the views? - [Mikey] Yeah, I remember
that house really well. But instead of views of the ocean, you
have views of Los Angeles in the city. - [Enes] That's correct.
Now, while we are here, before we leave this room,
let's cover the specs for a second. We have five bedrooms, six full,
five half baths, 11,239 square feet of interior space built on a 66,646 square foot lot
on the market for $34,750,000. And I want to give big thanks
to the listing agents, Ross Clark and Brett Dickinson
for making this tour possible. We're really excited to be in La Jolla.
And as always, you can find more information about this
listing in the description of this video. Now, let's continue our tour back to the foyer, because we have a couple
other rooms that I want to cover. On this side, there's actually a small hallway here
that leads you to the two car garage. And then this door right here
opens up to a laundry room. Two washers, two dryers, cabinetry and
sink, pretty much everything you need. Now follow me this way. Look at the length of this hallway. Takes you all the way to the primary
bedroom suite, opens up to the backyard. But before we continue, I want to go this way so we can check
out the powder bathroom. Onyx vanity, that's fabricated. Mirror is nicely
recessed in, wall sconces. Same limestone floors are also here. Just a really nice powder bathroom. Now let's go back to the main space. There's actually a butler's kitchen here. But first, let me bring
everybody to the great room. This is definitely
the heart of this property. It houses the kitchen,
dining area, and the family room. On each side, we have massive sliding glass doors, seamlessly opening
up this room to the outdoors. On the back, we have the backyard, and on the front, we have the views
and the oval garden down below. cantilevered roof lines,
clerestory windows, wood plank ceilings that run
all the way to the exterior. Honed limestone floors. A lot is happening in this room, but I just love how it's
integrated to the outdoors. And you can simply walk outside
from your great room to these views. This is lovely. What makes this property
so unique and special, is the privacy, security,
and the large flat area you attain up here with this phenomenal view is just
really unheard of in La Jolla. What makes La Jolla
special is the topography. So the topography of La Jolla gives
you five to six incredible views. And this one sits at the crown. It's really the crown jewel
of this hill, Mount Soledad. - [Mikey] Obviously, your
ocean views are insane, but I'm really intrigued by what
did you call this down below us? Oval Garden.
Oval Garden. I haven't been down there yet. I'm sure the house looks
insane from up there. - [Enes] Oh, the architecture of this
home is just stunning. And I feel like the design team here had the opportunity to go all out
and they executed on their vision. And that's why when you look around,
you see these steel cantilevers, clerestory windows, which are motorized,
by the way, most of them. Then you look over here, you have this beautiful patio
that curves with a walkway. And you may think this is just another
water feature, but it's actually not. If you look at this house from a bird's
eye view, you realize that the lines of the water feature matches the lines
of the pool that's on the backyard. It's continuous. - [Mikey] I actually noticed that
when I was flying the drone. I thought that was really
cool looking. To me, I love details like that. I love attention to detail like that. And this property is all about it. Now, we have the same
limestone floors here. Even the grout lines are matching
with the exterior patios. Then in front of us we
have the family room. L shaped couch, coffee table,
two chairs. Even these chairs are so elegant
with stainless steel legs. Then you come over to this side. This is 130 inch TV wall,
custom designed for the property. Not to mention we have Bang & Olufsen
speakers on each side. You can have beautiful screen savers like
this, or you can just watch TV, obviously. Down below is another
linear gas fireplace. And even here, with a limestone bottom
section, steel framed around the fireplace. Then you have Texas limestone
on top with built-in shelves. You even have mood lighting detail above. And this is just the family room.
It's just the beginning. - [Mikey] I love the color palettes and materials
that they use in this house. So warm. I always love kind
of black mixed with wood. And then they have these splashes of white, which I guess
you said is limestone. - [Enes] Not only that's, a great point. They also brought a lot of organic
materials to this home. Ceiling is all cedar then you have this live edge walnut dining table right
in the center that softens up the room. You have a brass chandelier above. In fact, they brought some of the brass
details to the table as well. It actually helps it join. These two slabs together. Just a lovely space where you sit down,
have your meal, enjoy these views. And looking around the room, I think I talked about it earlier,
we have a lot of clerestory windows. These windows are motorized, so push of a
button, you can open them and close them. In fact, you can program them in a way
that if it gets too hot inside of the home, they will automatically open
up to let the moisture out and just kind of balance out the room
with the temperature. Pretty amazing.
- [Mikey] Really. so the windows will automatically open
at different humidity thresholds? Correct.
I feel like we've never seen that before. That's pretty interesting.
It's pretty awesome, right? Yeah, for sure. - [Enes] Now, another thing I want to talk
about is the lighting in this home. This property has Lutron
lighting control system, and they also happen to be
the sponsor of today's video. Now, I'm not saying this because they're sponsoring our video,
but most of the homes we tour, whether it's in Los Angeles or around the
world, they feature Lutron lighting. Yeah, I think one of the
most commented things, on our channel when we tour modern
homes is how are you supposed to sleep in this glass box with all
this natural light pouring in? Correct. I mean, we're currently in a great room
right now, and it's so nice to have these sliding glass doors opening up
to the backyard or to these views. But obviously, they have built in shades,
and that's what Lutron does. They provide these seamless shades that integrate into your
sliding glass door openings. That way you can just operate them. They don't architecturally
change the look of your house. They're extremely quiet,
and you can use them to diffuse the light that comes into a room, or you can
use them to truly black out a space. Another thing I want to mention,
they also provide you an amazing app where you can control every single
light fixture in your home. In fact, a lot of the times when we
tour these homes, we stay really late. As you can imagine,
with the scale of these properties, if you try to turn off every single
light fixture, it will take forever. Right?
Yeah. But with Lutron, you go to the entry,
you click all off, and Lutron turns off the entire house for
you, which is a brilliant convenience. Not only that, but throughout each space,
they have different lighting settings so, Correct.
If you're having a party or something, you can change the mood without having
to dim every single light individually. Exactly.
You can customize certain settings. Yeah, for sure. That way you can just press a button,
get that mood for yourself, whether it's no dim lights and cove
lighting off, but then you want to have certain lights on and have
your shades down. You get all those functions
with a push of a button. Now, Lutron has over 15,000
energy saving products. They're sold in over 100 countries. They've been in the business
over 60 years. And just in the US alone. I believe they help customers save
over 10 billion kilowatt hours of energy, which equals to $1
billion in utility costs. That seems hard to fathom.
Fascinating. Yeah, right?
So they're an amazing company. Big thanks to them
for sponsoring this video. We're going to put their links in the
description, make sure to check them out. And let's continue our
tour with this kitchen. We have a massive island up front, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, bar
seating on this side with LED lighting. Then you come over here. This is super cool. This is a pop up drawer
that hides the mixer. Oh, really?
Yeah, it hides it in the island bay. And it's just a nice, clever detail. Push of a button, it just goes up. I feel like that's rare. I don't really remember
seeing that very often. Maybe we saw it in one house. But we saw it at one house. I'm trying to remember which one,
but I'm blanking. We toured too many
properties at this point. After 100, 200 properties,
they all kind of blend together. There you go.
Now, this is interesting. La Cornue rotisserie. It's an appliance.
Correct. And I'm sure you can cook
other stuff with it, too. It's an interesting take
on a built in appliance. Now, before we continue, I actually forgot
to mention we have a hallway here. That's the elevator landing on this level. And we have a Butler's pantry here, conveniently located close
to the formal dining room. Same cabinetry. You have another sink here,
fridge, freezer. It's a nice feature, for sure. Now, going back to the kitchen,
walnut cabinetry throughout. You have Wolf built
in appliances, induction on this side. Then you have your Wolf gas stove here. Same Taj Mahal quartzite is also on this
side, as well as the backsplash. You have your vent nicely hidden into the cabinetry,
built in fridge and freezer down below. Let's see. Obviously, your sink is
also located on the island. And, knock knock, dishwasher. It's always nice to have
it's been a minute, Miele. That's it for your kitchen. Obviously, it looks
towards your dining area, and the family room
benefits from the views. And now let's check out the backyard. Yeah. First we have this cover section here,
another steel cantilever above us. And look at this space. I mean, it's beautiful. So private, all these trees. And check this out. I got a really cool story. This neighborhood or this
area used to be a tree farm. They were raising trees here, and then later on, it was
developed as a subdivision. And before this home was
built and completed in 2019. They had an older home here, and within that property, they had these
three very significant cork oak trees. By the way, this is the first time
in my life I'm seeing a cork oak tree. It's a very grand and just
this majestic tree. And they wanted to protect these three
trees that are around the property. One behind you, Mikey, one here, and we saw the other one off
of the first seating area. Yeah, and they built
the entire property around it. In fact, they were so committed
to keeping these trees. Look at the roof line right there. They've literally curved
it around the tree. That way a tree can still grow
and be right next to the home. How amazing is that? - [Mikey] Yeah, that's pretty cool. I didn't notice the curve in the roof. When I was looking at photos of this house before we came here, I saw it was called
the treehouse, and I wondered why. This is why.
Now it makes sense. - [Enes] Awesome, right?
All right, let's go this way. Now we have these steps taking us to the
outdoor kitchen and the outdoor patio. Right next to that is the recreation room. We're going to check
out that space in a bit. Massive shuffle board, few chairs. This is where you can sit down
and watch your friends shuffle. I'm assuming that's what you call it.
Yeah, I don't know. I've never heard that term before. But you can watch a lot
of the activities from there. Absolutely. Then we have the outdoor seating area,
dining area, kitchen on the back. The contraption that's above
us is a motorized canopy. So push of a button, you can
close off this entire section. You even have space heaters here. This might be one of my favorite areas of this property because I feel like
La Jolla has such amazing weather. You would use the space all the time. In fact, they even have
an outdoor TV here. And as I was looking at this TV,
I realized these are barn doors. So you can close it off and get that minimalist look, or you can
just leave it open and watch TV. Now let's go to the other side. Again, you have your outdoor seating
area with a built in fire pit. And now I want to cover the kitchen. This is an Evo gas grill. This is the first time we're seeing this
built in outdoor kitchen appliance. I was really curious what this was. It's like a cast iron grill. Maybe that's a way of explaining it. I don't know if it's cast iron. It's like an electric cast iron grill.
Gas. Gas. And it just looks so cool. And when the design team was designing this home, they were like,
we're not going to have a traditional outdoor kitchen where you have just
an expected built in gas grill. They're like, let's put an Evo. Looks pretty awesome. Then on the other side,
you have rest of your cabinetry. Again, stainless steel fronts, refrigerated drawers,
ice maker, dishwasher, sink. And my favorite detail in this
outdoor kitchen is the pizza oven. Now, you may say, I don't
even know how to open it. There you go. Now you may say, Why are you
so excited for pizza oven? Well, I like the way they incorporate
it into this concrete column. It's actually at an angle. That's how it houses it
on the bottom section. Then you look at the top of this column,
and you realize that top cap also cantilevers just like some of the other
areas of the home, which is fascinating. They even made this section
architectural to maximize the home. - [Mikey] It was the first thing I noticed
when we got here this morning. I had no idea it was for a pizza oven.
I thought it looked really cool. But I have to say, this is probably the most
architectural pizza oven in the world. Well said, Mikey.
Yeah. - [Enes] All right, let's continue. Now, we have the recreation room
in front of us. Sliding glass doors open up. We have a table here with few chairs. Smaller scale shuffle board here. If you don't want to
enjoy the full-size one, then a really nice bar, countertop
here is actually really unique. It's like mosaic tiles combined
together with a clear finish on top. Then we have wood countertops here,
sink, bronze open shelving. And this is your bar
for the recreation room. Now, on the other side, another small seating area
with a live edge coffee table. I know it's a piano,
but what kind of piano is this? Pretty sure it's a player piano,
at the very least. It's like an E piano that has, like a, music box built into it, has functions. Yeah, you can play, like,
the drums and bass and that kind of thing. It looks pretty fancy.
Yeah. You come over here. Another exterior door. Powder bathroom for the recreation room. And before we cover this screening room on this side, I actually want
to talk about an interesting detail. So we have two board form
concrete walls here. This one, they formed it out of,
I want to say two by six planks. That's why you can see so many
different seams and more texture. You look over to this side, you can see that we only have few seams
because they used massive panels. In fact, these are the connection points that they ran the rods through
to keep the forms intact. And that's why this one has more
of an industrial kind of flat look. But you have more character here. But when you use this
many planks to form these walls, you need a lot of connection
points to hold everything in place. These are those rods that they used, but
on this house, they used fiberglass rods. Typically, they use rebar. Rebar, correct. But rebar sometimes can rust versus
fiberglass maintain its look. It doesn't rust.
It blends in better, and it's just a clever detail. - [Mikey] Enes was really excited
when he saw this. When I saw this, I was like,
they know what they're doing. All right, let's come over here. Let's see. Pocket doors to seal off
the screening room. Comfortable seating section. Drop down projector, nice and cozy. Walnut paneling. It's part of your recreation room. A lot of times, homes this scale, we see
screening rooms within the property. And in this case,
they had more of a fun take. They just brought it
to the recreation room. All right, Mikey, back to the backyard.
Let's do it. So far, we've covered the first
half of the backyard. On the other side,
we have 150-foot lap pool. Water jets here, serving as a water
feature or just a fun element for kids. And in the center,
we have this grass section. What a perfect place for us
to look back to the home. Again architectural lines,
these steel screens, the way the second floor is
positioned above the main floor. Big congrats to the design team. I think they did a fantastic job. I was so excited for this tour today. And I feel like I did my best to cover all the details that I'm just
afraid that I'm missing some. Between how they
incorporated clerestory windows, how they oriented this structure
on this lot, which is really good size, and how they kept it so private
and brought these organic elements with landscaping, material selection,
it's really impressive. That's all I'm going to say. Now, the pool here has a motorized cover. Looks super inviting. We have few day beds on the other
side with canopy tops. That's your raised hot tub. And behind that is
the third cork oak tree. That's the third one. I was wondering if you were
going to mention that. I did notice that.
Now that I know what they look like. Looks super cool. This structure here is the office. You can access it from this
side or from the interior. And I know I mentioned it earlier, but this pool continues to the other
side as a water feature. What a clever detail. All right, now let's go back in so
we can go to the other side. Again, we're in the great room. And behind this limestone wall,
we have the main staircase. Now, just like the rest of the home. The way this room is
designed is really special. It's not the widest room,
but yet they position this beautiful spiral staircase, and it just curves
so nicely to the second floor. It's open riser, railing is nicely
integrated to the steps. I love how they curve the wood
paneling on the staircase as well. And it just looks so elegant. You have that same
limestone wall that we saw, at the family room
wrapping to the other side. And they even have these
recessed in floor lighting to light up the texture here. Picture windows, circular skylight above. you have the second
floor landing up there. Plaster wall. This is a sculpture. This is not a staircase. I'm just gonna go
up there for a second. - [Mikey] This is one of my favorite
parts of the entire home. The center beam that wraps around
behind you, how many pieces is that? It looks like it's like
three pieces, more or less. - [Enes] Well, you're seeing the
wood paneling that's on top. It's probably a curved and welded steel
frame, and they just clad on top. And if that wasn't enough, as you're going
up, you can see this detail right here. I think I talked about
it a couple of times. At this point, second floor is literally
floating above the first floor. And that's that little gap, I want to say foot and a half,
where they place that picture window. - [Mikey] Yeah, you can
actually see the turf from the second level
right there as well. - [Enes] Exactly.
And I want to clarify something. Obviously, top floor is
attached to the lower level. It's just floating above it. So all you have are those steel columns. In fact, home is pretty
much all steel frame, too. So I wanted to mention that.
Beautiful design. All right, follow me this way. Now we are going to the
primary bedroom wing. We have a bathroom on my left hand side. It's a powder bathroom
with a floating vanity, skylight above, bringing
natural light, nice and airy. And coming back to the hallway,
we go straight into the office. This room is dedicated
for the primary bedroom. L-shaped couch,
nice fireplace with a marble wall. Two doors open up to the
backyard where we have the pool, so you have an exterior access. And on this side, we have this built
in wall with all these shelves. And they even have a cuckoo clock,
since it's a treehouse. I feel like I've never actually
seen a cuckoo clock in person. I feel like I just see these in,
like, cartoons growing up. That's my only experience with them. Besides all the details we saw so far,
they even thought of this. Crazy, right? It's whimsical.
It's interesting. So I wanted to mention
that they have it over here. Again, you have your seating area,
built in desk, floating shelves. And then you come over to this side, where we have another hallway
that leads you to the primary closet. Now, this closet is
obviously very spacious. On my right hand side, we have a massive picture window looking
towards the Japanese Zen garden. We're going to check
that space out in a bit. It actually opens up
to the primary bedroom. Now, coming here, this is the landing
of the primary bedroom suite. So this entry point is
actually behind the staircase. We use the one that's in front of it. So you can actually enter the primary
bedroom wing from both sides. Now follow me this way. First, let's check out
the primary bathroom. Starts here, another set of
pocket doors, some built-ins. This is where we have the first vanity. It's floating with LED
lighting underneath. I really like the mirror design here and how they placed these
light boxes in between. You even have a skylight above to bring
more natural light. Chrome fixtures. Everything is polished to perfection. This house feels like a brand new home. Now, on the back, obviously,
we have fantastic views. Chandelier above, freestanding
tub is positioned here. And it's cleverly designed where they
have your fixtures raised from the floor. But it has just enough of a clearance for these motorized casement
windows to operate. How nice. I mean, they could have
easily put a hardware here. Instead, they put the motorized
assembly push of a button. You can just allow natural air
to come into the bathroom. All right, let's go to the other side. Massive walk-in shower, glass-enclosed,
rain head above, bookmatched stone. Obviously you have your steam feature. In fact, you can see the outlets here. They did this nice set
forward bench design. So it's not against the glass wall here. It looks a little bit more contemporary. Drains are nicely tucked underneath. But my favorite detail within this walk-in
shower is the skylight above right there. You know why? I think I know what you're going to say,
but I'm going to let you say it, motorized. It's motorized?
Yeah. So you can allow more
natural air to come in. And it probably helps dry
out the walk-in shower, too. Yeah.
So obviously, we just toured the backyard. And as soon as the camera is cut,
I noticed that the pool house or the recreation house,
the bathroom in there had the same automatic skylights,
which is a detail that we missed. But I thought you were going
to bring that up in here. Well, these things are not cheap. And again, it shows the fact
that architects really cared about bringing natural air and natural light
to the property wherever they can. So it's a nice touch. Now we have more screens here
to control the light even more. They're actually placed right
in front of the windows. You can move them to each side. And another modern detail that I want to
point it out, your second vanity is here. Pretty much the same finishes. Mikey, I don't know if you
recognize this, pop up TV here. Oh, really?
Recessed into the cabinetry. And now I want to take everybody back to the landing so we can check
out the primary bedroom. Now, this bedroom, the way it's designed,
is super cool. It starts here. And before we check out the bedroom, can
we talk about the Japanese Zen garden. Now, off of the sliding glass doors, we have this reflecting pool,
which is also a koi pond. Then beyond that, you can actually
see the gravel landscape. This beautiful tree,
that's a Japanese soaking tub. They even have an integrated
built in seating here. Even their rake matches
the style of the design here. How cool is that? Yeah.
And it's also very similar to that tree that we saw in the driveway
earlier as well. Correct.
And to me, I love that it's super private. It's Zen.
You even have another statue here. Board form concrete walls, and it's right
next to your primary bedroom suite. We have the king size bed here. Nice warm paneling on the back
with integrated bedside lights. Then you have your fireplace
on this side with a TV above. Other set of sliding glass doors open up to the grounds and the oval
garden that's down below. And the primary bedroom suite even
has its own garden right here. Casement windows above are motorized. Just a really cozy bedroom. And I actually want to take everybody to the back because we have
a few other details here. Mikey, I don't know
if you know this one. For dogs. Yes.
Okay. I'm assuming because
they have another one. On the other side, there's
a dog statue on the backyard. So I assume the people that built
the home are dog lovers. Yes, they are. And then you come over here,
it gets crazier. They have another small patio. This is their dog park
and dog training area. It actually goes to the other side.
Really? It looks like they have a little garden out here, too, with some
fruits and vegetables. Exactly.
All for the primary bedroom. This lot is pretty impressive. And going back in, I know
we're going back and forth. You can actually go behind the room
or the place where we have the bed. And there's actually a wet bar here. And then we wrap around. And full circle.
Okay. So the dogs can stay on this side in the dog park, and they can just close
these off and leave those doors open. Yeah, probably.
Yeah. Pretty clever.
And, yeah, this is the primary bedroom. Now let's take the sliding glass doors, go outside, and we have another outdoor garden
here with a fire pit in the center. Look at the landscaping. It's so colorful. This property is so Zen. It's just vibrant out here.
Vibrant. That's a better word.
Yeah. And we have another beautiful old,
mature tree here. I mean, look at the scale here, Mikey.
It's insane. And throughout the garden here,
they have boulders, different plants. I love how this deck walkway connects the great room patio to the oval
garden that's down below us. That's the second oak tree that we saw
right next to the formal living room area. And, I mean, look at the scale here.
It's insane. And down below us, again,
we have the oval garden. Should we go check it out?
Let's do it. My favorite area of this house would be looking out at the water and seeing a huge
amphitheater grass area down below where I could have kids running around or
my friends and I could go down there and play a sport, or we could
have a big party down there. We could entertain down there. On a day like today where it's sunny and it's warm, you can have all
the doors and windows open. If it was a windy and a colder day, you can shut all the windows
on the west side that face the water. And you have almost as large grass area
behind you to the east of the house, which is going to be
insulated from all the wind. So I like how you have so many different usable areas of this property,
regardless of the climate. I like how this space is
lined with olive trees. This is Astroturf, by the way. So you don't have to water it,
you don't have to maintain it. Listing agents also call this
section an amphitheater. And I guess it makes sense when you look
at the retaining walls that's behind me, the scale here, how you can just invite
your friends, throw events here. It's pretty awesome.
Yeah, I really like the space. And this is pretty massive. I mean, scale is insane. Not to mention, look at the house
behind me, all these roof lines. That's the primary
bedroom wing right there. The first box section is
the primary bathroom. Then you have the bedroom, second floor up there, that houses three
bedrooms, plus an office and a library. And then we got to talk about this. I know I mentioned it while we were there. That's the formal living room area. That's an 18 plus feet
cantilever over the garden. And below that is the guest house. Just this frame alone, I'm in love with. And when you look at the bottom section,
you can realize that they had angles for the concrete, I guess
foundation, so to speak. That way it can truly cantilever
and just float up in the air. This is incredible. This is one of my favorite areas or
one of my favorite views of this home. I know you love your cantilevers.
I love it. But, Mikey, look at this.
We talked about that. Yeah, you're always drawn
to a good cantilever. And this is a very good one. This is a fantastic one.
And it gets better. If you take this walkway here and go right next to the cantilever section, there's
a door that opens up to the guest home. So we talked about this staircase
opening off of the foyer. Again, we have this beautiful board form concrete wall,
recessed in floor lighting. This is the private entry
for the guest house. And going this way,
we have the main space. Owners are currently using
this room as their gym. You can see the yoga mats here. You still get windows
bringing natural light. We are actually right underneath the cantilevered living room
that we toured earlier. And this room is very spacious. They have a small table
here, a few chairs. There's a Murphy Bed here. This converts into a proper guest home. And obviously, you have
all the bedrooms upstairs. Which we're going
to check out in a bit. But if you want to use this
as a bedroom, you can. In fact, on the other side, you're going to have a really nice
kitchenette with a dishwasher sink, induction cooktop, fridge,
freezer, all this cabinetry. It's a nice touch.
It's a cozy room. - [Mikey] I don't know why
I always like Murphy beds. I always find them very cool. It's like a great space saving detail.
- [Enes] Absolutely. Then you come over here
and it's the full bathroom. Again, floating vanity. I like the oversized subway tiles that we
have on the walls that run all the way into the walk in showe,
brushed nickel fixtures. Definitely a good size bathroom. Now, lastly, they also have
the wine cellar on this level. Same Texas limestone that we've
been seeing throughout. They have it also in this room. Beautiful marble table. That's your temperature
controlled wine cellar. Nicely dressed. And we saw this detail throughout
the home in a couple of different places. I really like the recessed
in floor lighting here. And then you have cove lighting above. What a cool space.
Yeah. The strip lighting, the LED lighting
throughout the entire house. I'm sure it's going to look
really cool at night. Absolutely. And with that, we're
done on the lower level. Now let's go to the second floor
and check out the remaining bedrooms. Now we're on the second floor landing. We talked about the staircase
earlier, skylight above. And coming to this side,
we have a library. I really like these LED lit shelves. Modern wall sconces above. Even the way books are laid out,
I feel like there's a pattern here. Then you come over to this side, small seating area,
and I have to talk about this table. You have to. So a few months ago,
we toured a property in Hawaii, and within the home, they had this
table with this pinball, I guess. Right?
Is that what you call them? Yeah, it's like this magnetic ball that basically will roll around the table
and create different patterns, geometrical patterns and shapes,
and it's really cool. Exactly.
And then we ended up cutting up that scene and posting it on TikTok,
and it almost got over 20 million views. I guess people like tables like this, and yeah. Between Instagram and TikTok,
I believe we gotten over, like, 30 million views just on this, like,
ten second sound bite about a table. They're called sisyphus tables, right? No, I think the brand is
called Sisyphus Industries. Okay.
And yeah, really cool table. Then we have an exterior door here that
opens up to the front facing balcony. Since we're on the second floor,
we're a little bit more elevated. Views are fantastic. And we're going to check out
that balcony in a second. Now I want to bring everybody
to the main hallway on the second floor. You can actually see
your backyard from here. Now we're going to continue our tour
with the first bedroom on this level. On my left, we can see
the full bathroom. Again limestone floors, walk-in shower,
oversized subway tile. And we have the vanity over here. Now, the next two bedrooms that we're going to see are kind of similar,
so I'm going to quickly brush over them. King size bed, built in cabinetry. I really appreciate that they brought, some of the limestone
details to the wall here as well. Corner glass, clerestory windows above. Wood paneling on the ceiling
continues to the exterior. And now we're at the front facing balcony. Again, you can move these
screens wherever you want. That way you can either diffuse
the light or just enjoy the views. Pretty nice. Now we're going to take
an interesting route. We're going to start our
tour of the second bedroom. Here another king size bed. Pretty much the same design elements. Comes with a full bathroom,
which is on this side. Even though design elements of this bathroom is exactly the same as the other
one, they change the pattern here. These oversized subway tiles are
installed vertically, not horizontally. Little details like
that I really appreciate. Yeah.
All right, let's continue. Now back to the main hallway. This is actually where we can see the curved roof line
around the main oak tree. I mean, this tree is massive. And then this is such a fun,
interesting moment here. Looking down, you can actually
see the backyard from here. Not to mention some of the rooftops
of certain parts of the home. This property also has 126 solar panels
above the roof, which is fantastic. I feel like that's more and more of an
important detail in modern architecture. Couldn't agree more. And yeah, follow me this way.
Let's continue. At the end of this hallway, we have a door
that opens up to the second office. That office also connects to the main
balcony that we have on this level. And we're going to see that balcony
one more time as well. Now we're in the third bedroom. This is the walk-in closet. Another full bathroom here. This one actually comes
with a built in tub and going in. King size bed, cedar wood plank ceilings,
corner glass, sliding glass doors open up. Like I said earlier, these bedrooms
are pretty similar to each other. Now, Mikey, let's take everybody
out again one more time. And let's check out this balcony again,
we're here in La Jolla, California. Weather is amazing. Views are fantastic. What do you think, Mikey? - [Mikey] I really like it here. What is there not to like about
La Jolla, California. Yeah, this is beautiful.
It's insane. This is only our second time here. Last time we were on a cliffside property all the way down there
by the beach, which is nice. It was really cool. Get to watch people surfing,
that kind of thing. But I kind of prefer this myself. It's a little more calm, relaxing. Relaxing. I know you're kind of more
of the beach type. - [Enes] I want to be down
there surfing right now. I can actually see waves breaking,
which is just incredible. But like you said,
this property is so relaxing. It's such a legacy estate. I'm glad we came all the way out here
to tour it and share with all of you. And now, let's see this place at dusk. (upbeat music) All right, everyone. That's it from La Jolla, California. Hope you all enjoy this tour. Big congrats to the design team. They did an exceptional
job with this property. And, of course, I want to give big thanks
