Prepare to be transported back in time to the glitz and glamor of the 1950s with the magnificent Mid Century Modern Lloyd Ruocco Masterpiece Circa 1959, meticulously updated to absolute perfection by the one and only Marc Tarasuck. Lloyd Ruocco, hailed as San Diego’s most influential modernist architect, created this architectural marvel that still stands tall today on an oversized 10,100 square foot lot with elegant hardwood floors that’ll make you feel like you’re walking on clouds. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by large scale dual-paned windows and doors that bathe the interior with natural light, making everything sparkle like diamonds in the sun. While you’re relaxing in one of the most breathtaking infinity pools, you can gaze out at Point Loma, where you can watch the planes land at the airport, views of San Diego Bay, Downtown San Diego, and all the way to Mexico, leaving you speechless. Living in the lap of luxury while taking in the stunning views from your very own home, this property is perfect for entertaining guests, relaxing in style, or simply soaking up the beauty of San Diego

We believe staying strong during market downturns is key to successful investing. Rather than fearing the current state of the economy, we feel it is important to view it as an opportunity to capitalize on undervalued assets. Remember, markets are cyclical and downturns have historically led to recovery although past performance does not guarantee future results. If you have any questions or concerns about your investments, retirement, or how to capitalize on market downturns, please reach out to us. With over 30 years of experience serving the San Diego community, we’re here to help. Give us a call and book a free consultation today. 1633 West Lewis
