An exceptional opportunity in the heart of La Jolla, this newly-designated historic American Lodge, built by the Helms family, has been approved for the Mills Act—an important tax benefit for buyers and a rare preservation incentive. Poised for thoughtful restoration or development, the property sits on a generous lot with inspiring 180° ocean views from the front including north shore views of the Shores, Scripps Pier, Blacks Beach, and Glider Port. The home exudes a timeless warmth and charm with its expansive redwood-lined living room, while additional picturesque seaside elements are found throughout the interior and exterior spaces. A large back deck is the perfect place to host family and friends while enjoying endless sunny days and Pacific and coastline views. Enjoy unparalleled walkability to the Village’s world-class restaurants and boutiques, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), and TripAdvisor’s recently rated #1 beach in the U.S., La Jolla Cove. Ideal for a buyer seeking a historic treasure with development potential and prime access to La Jolla’s cultural and coastal amenities.
