A perfect retreat for families of all generations, this spacious 7 bedroom, 6.5 bath one story home sits on a quiet cul de sac in the heart of Alta La Jolla. Located midway between the chic village of La Jolla and the lively Pacific Beach, Slice of Paradise is just minutes from shops and fine dining in either direction and only a short drive to freeway access and downtown San Diego. Previously known in our inventory as "Art Lover's Paradise," this home has been one of our most popular with luxury travelers for over five years. Now under new ownership, the home has been completely remodeled in a fresh, clean, modern coastal décor that everyone will love.

The best feature of this home is the expansive indoor/outdoor flow from the back of the house to the beautifully landscaped outdoor living spaces with views over the ocean, Mission Bay, Sea World, Downtown and Point Loma. Moving seamlessly from the living rooms through glass doors opening entire walls to the spacious outdoor sofas and lounge chairs, you can comfortably rest while your chefs get cooking in the fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Bar seating creates unity with the chefs while others indulge in the oversized hot tub or swim in the huge solar heated swimming pool. Meanwhile, some can take their cocktails to the raised deck and sit comfortably around the fire pit, enjoying the views over San Diego and the Pacific Ocean.

The layout of the home creates a notion of everyone in their own space yet still closely connected.
