Casa De La Vista, at 7757 Whitefield Place in La Jolla, spans 8,347 square feet on three-quarters of an acre. Built in the 1920s and believed to be one of the earliest homes completed in the area, Casa De La Vista is steeped in local history and offers an unparalleled blend of old-world elegance, privacy, and coastal beauty.
Historic and distinct, it features six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms (five of which are ensuite), and one half bath, thoughtfully arranged across three expansive levels.
Upon entering the main level, guests are immediately treated to sweeping ocean views over the terraced front yard. The bright, inviting chef’s kitchen features windows capturing sunset-drenched skies and open ocean, as well as eye-catching wooden beams that continue throughout the home. Adjacent to the kitchen, a formal sitting room with courtyard views provides extra seating space and tranquil vibes. The home is separated into two wings by the interior courtyard, and is connected by the opulent dining room, which boasts ocean views to one side and gardens to the other.
At the heart of Casa De La Vista is a dramatic, two-story great room, anchored by a fireplace, with 22-foot vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and seamless transitions to the impeccably manicured lawns and terraces. A quiet office down the hall creates a private area for work or repose, with its own entrance to the gardens.
The first-floor primary suite is a sanctuary, with an ensuite and ornate marble bathroom with a stunning, inset marble soaking tub. Arched doorways, an expansive walk-in closet, and stunning views from private patios complete this transcendent space.
Ascend to the second level, by stair or elevator, to find three additional calming bedrooms and baths, as well as a book-lined office overlooking the great room. A lower level holds two more bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a sitting room with direct access to the patio and fountains just outside.
Beyond its private, gated entry at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property unfolds across terraced gardens, multiple patios, a serene interior courtyard, all set above one of La Jolla’s most breathtaking coastal outlooks with commanding, panoramic views of La Jolla Cove, Scripps Pier, and the shimmering Pacific Ocean. Vibrant Spanish detailing and hand-painted artisan tiles speak to the property’s rich heritage, while expansive windows frame uninterrupted views of the ocean and surrounding treetops.
Various charming outdoor spaces lend warmth and coziness, including a resort-style pool terrace and the idyllic interior courtyard with a stone fireplace, ideal for relaxing and entertaining. Two guest houses (each with separate outdoor entrances) offer privacy and flexibility, while additional amenities include a private gym, covered pool deck, and two 2-car garages.
Just moments from La Jolla Village, La Jolla Heights Nature Park, and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Casa De La Vista‘s premier location offers access to fine dining, luxury shopping, acclaimed schools, golf, hiking, and some of the region’s best beaches.
