Homer Delawie fashioned his third home with help from the staff of his growing firm - as his second wife brought more children to the family. With 6 kids (each with their own room) and room for a maid's quarters and a master suite, the home, also known as "The Village", was Delawie's largest home for himself of the three. The kitchen, or marketplace, serves as the intersection between an expansive entertaining-friendly living and dining area, and the informal gathering place around the children's wing. Sited well below the Lindbergh Field flight path in a canyon near Plumosa Park, this home feels uniquely urban and secluded.

Frederick Liebhardt designed home in La Jolla

Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 4.5
Estimated Square Feet: 5,056
Address: 7226 Romero Drive, La Jolla
Price: $2,800,000
Comments: Nestled in a canyon high above La Jolla Country Club are five Frederick Liebhardt designed homes. One of a handful of San Diego architects to have studied with Frank Lloyd Wright as a Taliesin Apprentice, Frederick Liebhardt started with residential designs -- as a cap to his career he designed a series of ‘tree houses’ at the rim of the canyon above his home of 50 years. Four of the homes have been completed. All, including this home, were built with clear, all heart, all vertical grain, old growth redwood. Never again will we see such beautiful wood throughout a home. From every room, you can take in panoramic ocean views modestly screened by decades-old eucalyptus trees that fill the canyon. Facing west, you can enjoy outstanding sunsets from both inside and out – engaging the outdoors with redwood decks outside several of the rooms. The home’s large kitchen features a sizeable chef's island with a Gaggenau cook-top and built-in SubZero refrigerator/freezer. The home’s main level features a large master suite and bath while the lower level hosts three bedrooms, three baths and a large living area with a private deck that can double as a sleeping porch. Blueprints, soil engineering studies and construction photos available.
