Fly in. Switch off. Post-and-beam architecture frames the full sweep of San Diego: harbor, marina, skyline, Coronado Bridge and the Pacific beyond. Meticulously restored to be lived in, this Kendrick Bangs Kellogg retreat moves easily between gathering and privacy, while life at home follows a quieter rhythm. The view is only the beginning. Sailing, surfing, neighborhood coffee and downtown are close, making it easy to plug in—or simply sit back and enjoy the scenery from your La Playa perch. Architectural Distinction San Diego architect Kendrick Bang Kellogg designed striking structures—some of the most celebrated ever built—seeking to blend them with their natural environments. Here is one of the earlier examples of his nature-inspired work, featuring plate glass and rough-sawn wood. The house was designed by Kellogg in 1968 and thoughtfully restored in 2021, ensuring its architectural narrative will endure for generations. Anchored on the hillside of Point Loma’s historic La Playa neighborhood, the house is warm, textural, and an organic extension of the landscape. The interplay of natural materials and light reinforces the San Diego Harbor connection, offering a connected living experience that enriches daily rhythms. There’s a mix of soaring and more intimate spaces; the double-height living and dining area draws families together around the massive fireplace. Also a focal point: James Hubbell’s stained glass art creates a rhythmic pattern of color and light in the foyer. Striking a balance between independence and togetherness, the primary bedroom is a front-row retreat, while ensuite bedrooms rest along the eastern edge, set apart for privacy. Three separate bedroom zones create spatial complexity and a subtle separation that promotes household peace and harmony. Landmark Views Situated at the end of the road, the house is crafted to dramatically embrace the breadth of its site, presenting an expansive facade to the harbor. There’s a magical quality of natural light from the moment the sun rises until it sets, then allowing the moonlight to take over. Views frame the quiet excitement of the marina, Downtown San Diego’s skyline, and the Coronado Bridge. In winter, there are snow-capped mountains to the east. Indoor-outdoor spaces create a sanctuary to sit back and survey the world around you. Views embrace the harbor setting, which gently unfolds in a rhythm of daily life. Sailing classes. Regattas. The freedom of a lone Hobie Cat as it sets off on a twinkly sea. The Neighborhood Point Loma has an enviable mix of old-world charm and new-era verve. The house is close to buzzy coffee shops and restaurants, as well as Kellogg Beach, Southwestern Yacht Club, San Diego Yacht Club, and Point Loma Nazarene. Liberty Station is both an arts district and a vibrant dining destination.

Highlights include a beautifully reimagined primary bath with custom cabinetry, marble surfaces and flooring, and a freestanding soaking tub; a renovated downstairs guest bath; custom illuminated library built-ins; Hunter Douglas window treatments; integrated multi-zone Sonos audio; and numerous smart-home, security and systems enhancements. Extensive improvements continue outdoors, where the pool and spa were replastered and retiled, slate coping was replaced with travertine, the rock waterfall was renovated, and landscaping and exterior elements throughout the property were refreshed. The home offers generous living and entertaining spaces oriented toward the bay and downtown skyline. Three bedrooms, including the primary suite, are located on the entry level, while a private guest suite upstairs provides separation for family and visitors. A three-car garage offers valuable parking and ample storage. Beyond the property, Point Loma offers one of San Diego’s most distinctive coastal lifestyles.

FINALLY! A rare two bedroom in the Yacht Club Condos. Offered for the very first time since its original 2007 developer sale, unit 159 is one of the rare two story residences created from the building's historic waterfront restaurant in the 2006 conversion.

Inside you get high ceilings, open kitchen, a spacious primary suite with its own bath, and a second bedroom loft up top that looks out to the bay and the mountains beyond.
