Every house has a story, and so is the case with this significant ocean-view property. Designed by Judith Munk for her husband, renowned Oceanographer Walter Munk, and their children, the residence, known as Seiche, is bursting with character and originality. It is perched high above a protected canyon preserve and features spectacular ocean views from the house and garden. The unique property is inclusive by nature, incorporating a number and variety of meeting places, and was designed to be a hub of conversation and creativity as well as a haven for the family. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property features a main house, a guest house, a second story guest room, a folly amphitheater, and thoughtful landscaping. Large expanses of glass, open interior spaces, and a clear expression of structure and materials characterize the main house while vines perfectly envelop the mid-century modern structure. A swimming pool and sunken garden on the east provide a secluded garden, while the west garden offers a perfectly designed area for the indoor/outdoor lifestyle favored in La Jolla. Embedded in nature and rich in history, this extraordinary property is just moments from UCSD, trails, and beaches.
