This 3,500 square foot new construction home in the coveted Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla, CA is a masterclass in California coastal living at its finest. Designed by Vance Design Studio from the ground up, every space was thoughtfully curated to balance relaxed warmth with refined, modern sophistication, perfectly suited to the laid-back luxury that defines this iconic beachside community.

The kitchen anchors the main living floor with a two-tone design pairing crisp white upper cabinetry with warm natural wood lowers, a custom wood range hood, and a soft zellige tile backsplash. Professional-grade appliances, quartzite countertops, and black hardware details bring both performance and edge to the space. An adjacent butler's pantry and open sightlines to the dining and living areas make the layout ideal for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

The great room is centered around a floor-to-ceiling fluted tile fireplace and custom media built-ins, with layered neutral furnishings, vintage-inspired rugs, and warm brass lighting that create an inviting, lived-in feel. Expansive pocket doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening directly to a covered outdoor living area and private entertainer's backyard with horizontal cedar fencing, a seamless California indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene coastal retreat with clean-lined furnishings, soft textural bedding, and surf-inspired accents that nod to the home's Bird Rock roots. Custom built-in shelving beneath the staircase, a statement floral wallpaper accent, and a curated entry with an antique brass chandelier round out the thoughtful, detail-driven design throughout every square foot.
