UNREAL ESTATE


by Dave Rice


This week, a recently completed contemporary estate at 2160 Balboa Ave- nue, perched upon a hill- side lot with views span- ning from San Dieguito Lagoon and the easterly mountains to “dramatic panoramic ocean views” to the west, just south of the thoroughbred club in Del Mar.


Completed in 2014,


this “Del Mar Coastal Contemporary master- piece redefines ultimate style and luxury” with its “extraordinary archi- tecture, design and high


inspiring panoramic views.” A family/media room, two guest baths, and three en-suite bed- rooms complete the main level of the home. Downstairs, there’s


another bedroom suite with attendant bathroom that’s “ideal for a gym,” with doors opening to the sports court, along with a guest suite “with private security and entrance.” The entire third floor,


“Unparalleled entertainment potential”


quality materials matched with the finest technol- ogy to embrace mod- ern living.” Six bedrooms and


eight baths are included


in the 8000 square feet of living area under roof, along with an “exqui- site chef’s kitchen” that “offers the finest appli- ances with dual dish-


washers, trash compac- tors, fridge drawers, ovens, warming ovens, and six burner Wolf range and griddle,” an executive office “with


reached via a “dramatic walnut staircase,” is occu- pied by “the lavish mas- ter bedroom suite.” The space includes a private ocean-view deck accessed via a retracting glass wall from the bath, outfitted with indoor and outdoor marble showers. From beginning to


end within the estate, “meticulously planned architecture” and upscale materials contribute “to


create a one of a kind home,” thanks to “clean lines achieved throughout with glass, poured-in-place concrete and rich mahog- any.” Materials were designer-selected, down to the “grain matched mahogany cabinetry” and “gorgeous marble coun- tertops.” The home’s flow creates “natural transitions from indoor to outdoor living on both sides of the home.” Typical of Southern


California real estate, some of the most attrac- tive perks are found out- side the main residence walls. More disappearing glass walls lead from the kitchen and living area to the yard’s “unparalleled entertainment potential,” with a covered lanai seat- ing area with fireplace and big-screen television, an infinity-edge pool, and additional entertaining
