8314 Paseo Del Ocaso

Come live the La Jolla lifestyle in this ocean view architectural masterpiece! A rare fusion of refined architecture, natural materials, and tranquil design, this exceptional ocean-view residence is a work of art that graced the cover of San Diego Home and Garden magazine. Thoughtfully designed by Laura DuCharme Conboy to engage the senses, the home blends contemporary luxury with timeless craftsmanship and Zen-inspired serenity. Just inside the gates is a Japanese garden designed by Dennis Otsuji, one of the original Japanese Friendship Garden designers, creating a peaceful, meditative backdrop that elevates everyday living. Throughout the home, natural walnut, flamed basalt, and stone surfaces are complemented by vintage posts and beams, delivering warmth, texture, and authenticity. The residence features custom-built cabinetry throughout, Mahogany Albertini Italian windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Entertain effortlessly with an 11-zone audio system, video switching, Control4 home automation, and programmable scene lighting. The gourmet kitchen is equipped for the discerning host, featuring a full-height Sub-Zero wine refrigerator with dual beverage drawers, a built-in Miele espresso and coffee system, and premium finishes throughout. Comfort meets ambiance with an automatic gas indoor fireplace, while outdoor living is enhanced by a gas fire feature, tranquil water fountain, and outdoor shower. Ascend to the large (over 400 square feet) roof deck, where white water views and a 180-degree ocean vista awaits. The deck is served by a dumb waiter from the kitchen below and has a built-in gas barbecue, counter, and sink, making it the ultimate entertaining destination. Additional outdoor spaces include second-floor decks off the den and primary bedroom, both offering privacy and ocean views, as well as a private space outside the primary bathroom, all thoughtfully illuminated by automatic low-voltage outdoor lighting. Sustainability meets luxury with solar electric panels, completing a home that is as forward-thinking as it is breathtaking. This home, built by Wardell Builders, is not just a residence—it’s a carefully crafted coastal retreat!
