About this home

An exceptional opportunity in the heart of La Jolla, this historically designated 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.
