The defining feature of the home is its iconic stucco & marble clad tower, an architectural landmark that has earned multiple regional & national design awards, including an AIA Honor Award & recognition as San Diego Home & Garden’s Home of the Year. Inside the tower, a dramatic 19-foot library showcases floor to ceiling built-in shelving with space for approximately 5,000 books, a reading room complete with built-in desk & dumbwaiter, & steel stairways leadin
