The floor plan balances social scale w/quiet retreat. The neighborhood mixes old & new w/buzzy coffee shops. 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.
