9420 La Jolla Shores Drive

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath mid-century home was designed in 1958 by the notable Palms Springs modernist architect Albert Frey for San Diego folk singer, Sam Hinton. In 2021 the Hinton's sold their family home to the current owner who used San Diego's finest craftsmen to carefully complete a meticulous restoration of the iconic home.  The residence is nestled in the beautiful and peaceful community of Ellentown, which sits on the cliffs directly above Blacks Beach. This secluded La Jolla Shores neighborhood has humble beginnings as private residential housing for professors at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The beach and UCSD campus are within walking distance and La Jolla Shores restaurants are a short drive away. Added bonuses include the convenient freeway access, close proximity to arguably San Diego's nicest YMCA as well as the world-famous Torrey Pines Golf Course.  This luxurious property features a low-maintenance, park-like landscape that encompasses roughly 1/3 of an acre. As you walk through the gate, you'll feel an immediate sense of seclusion and peacefulness. You'll notice mature fruit trees and abundant outdoor living space with multiple seating areas perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining guests. Those with a green thumb will envision garden possibilities.  Step inside the spacious and airy interior and you will immediately notice the focus on function with clean lines, an open floorplan, and monochromatic and neutral details. Timeless terrazzo flooring, skylights and an abundance of windows bring in light and provide a connection to the outdoors.
