Where West Solana Beach meets warm modern coastal living, a new story is about to rise. Construction begins soon, with completion anticipated mid 2027, your chance to secure a future-forward beach estate before it exists. Architect Jennifer Bolyn of EOS Architecture the award-winning name behind some of Southern California most iconic contemporary homes brings her signature Beach Contemporary aesthetic to this rare offering: a 6,400 SF residence with 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, study, elevator, pool, ADU, and 3-car garage, all wrapped in curated luxury and softened by that effortless, sun-soaked coastal vibe. Ocean views remind you every day why you chose Solana Beach. Picture mornings drifting down to Cedros for coffee, farmers market Sundays, or a quick walk over the bridge for sand-between-your-toes moments at Fletcher Cove. Spend afternoons at the tide pools, catch a set at Seaside Break, or hop on the Coaster for Padres games, Gaslamp nights, or concerts under the stars at Rady's Shell. Breakfast at Claires, boutique hopping along Highway 101, sunset hikes through Annie's as your days become a rotation of everything people love about living here. The design brings a true resort-style flow: open, airy gathering spaces, sun-filled rooms, seamless indoor-outdoor moments, and the kind of ocean-kissed breezes that make every day feel like a getaway. Large beach estates in this pocket almost never hit the market much less new construction of this caliber. The existing 1950 structure will be removed at the start of construction, clearing the way for this extraordinary co
Original 1950 bungalow nestled amongst multimillion dollar homes in Solana Beach west of 5 and south of Lomas Santa Fe! Build your dream home or remodel in place with existing footprint on this almost 1/4 acre lot. Prime location, just a block to Cedros Design District and renown Belly Up Tavern, and mere moments to the beach, railroad station, and acclaimed restaurants. First time on the market in over 60 years, this 2 bed, 1 ba home is loaded with a lifetime of stories but ready for a new incarnation! Peek ocean views with potential for more from a second story. The former 1 car garage is currently being used as living space.
