Set into the sandstone cliffs of Del Mar Terrace, this coastal residence is a refined dialogue between architecture and landscape—elevated, intentional, and quietly dramatic. Perched on a premier hilltop spanning two legally merged lots, the home captures sweeping whitewater, lagoon, and sunset views across the Pacific and Torrey Pines Reserve. Designed by Wallace Cunningham and John Nalevanko, the property honors materiality and light. Expansive windows invite the outdoors in, while handcrafted stone, brass, and center-grain redwood bring warmth and permanence throughout. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams crown open living spaces designed for flow and proportion. A striking stone-and-brass fireplace anchors the main living area as broad windows frame the ocean beyond. The kitchen is refined and functional, custom-built with generous storage and uninterrupted coastal views. The primary suite is a serene retreat with ocean outlooks, a spa-style bath with freestanding soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in closet. A secondary bedroom offers flexibility, while covered outdoor living areas provide true indoor-outdoor living for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. A detached guest residence adds rare versatility with its own driveway and garage. The structure includes a bedroom suite, kitchenette, office, gym, and lofted creative space with floor-to-ceiling glass and a hand-forged spiral staircase. Walk to Del Mar beaches or Torrey Pines— this is a home defined by perspective and design.
