4545 North Lane | DEL MAR (92014) Montecillo
First time on the market, a one of a kind mid-century modern designed by San Diego Master Architect and Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Frederick Liebhardt, resting on 3.18 sprawling acres of rolling grass hills and 100 year old trees in the peaceful Montecillo neighborhood. Lovingly enjoyed and maintained by the current owners for the past 58 years, this home is a masterclass in modernist design and has all of its original features; dramatic walls of glass, geometric and angled rooflines, large wood burning fireplaces, high ceilings, clerestory windows and sliding glass doors all designed to bring the outside in. A primarily single level 6 bedroom main residence with a detached pool/tennis house with full kitchen, fireplace, dual bathrooms and a vintage dry-sauna that overlooks the tennis court with vine covered walls and long views to the mountains and beyond. Photographed in the 60s by legendary architectural photographer, Julius Shulman, this home is rich in history and is an extraordinary example of grand living in a bygone era that has stood the test of time. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the next owners to love, cherish and be the stewards of a truly special property. SDMLS 306144679
