About This Property

Set high above La Jolla Shores, 2551 Via Viesta is a home shaped by its extraordinary setting, where the Pacific Ocean becomes a constant presence and the coastline unfolds across an almost 270 degree panorama. From the distant mountains of East County to the shimmering Pacific Ocean stretching north along the coastline, the views create an exquisite backdrop of ocean, sky, and light. Here, architecture and landscape come together in a way that makes the surrounding natural beauty an integral part of everyday living. Inside, mid century influences blend effortlessly with contemporary refinement. Expansive walls of glass draw the outdoors in, while exposed beams and vaulted cedar ceilings provide warmth, texture, and architectural character. The floor plan thoughtfully positions the main living spaces to embrace the sweeping coastal panorama, allowing the ocean to take center stage. An expansive kitchen pairs European style cabinetry and sleek quartzite countertops with understated, minimalist detailing, while beautifully curated, spa inspired bathrooms offer a tranquil retreat through natural textures and clean lines. Set on a secluded double cul-de-sac, arrival is equally memorable. A gated courtyard establishes a sense of privacy and seclusion, leading to a dramatic glass pivot entry and an open riser staircase that frames glimpses of the ocean beyond.  Recent improvements further enhance the residence including all new exterior stucco, a standing seam metal roof installed in 2024, an HVAC system installed in 2023 (mechanical unit replaced within the last month), epoxy coated garage floors, Kynar gutters, sleek micro shades, new aluminum Milgard windows and sliders, and owned solar. Beyond the interiors, the secluded half acre grounds unfold through mature pines, sculptural plantings, and layered greenery, creating a lush sanctuary that feels worlds away from the everyday. The interplay of natural light, thoughtful architecture, and panoramic coastal scenery gives the property a distinctive sense of place. Private, architecturally compelling, and immersed in some of La Jolla's most captivating ocean views, 2551 Via Viesta offers a rare opportunity to experience coastal living where the landscape is not simply a backdrop, but the defining feature of the home.
