Agents of Architecture, The Journal - Vol. 21 | San Diego Edition

As a firm that focuses on representing Modern, Historic and Unique properties, we have a portfolio of homes that are available off-market or coming soon. If you’re looking for something special or seeking a buyer for your home who will appreciate it in the same way you do, please feel free to reach out to us.

Speaking of… we have a few listings coming up including a Lloyd Ruocco on Mount Helix, a John Mock modern design in Del Cerro, a classic Spanish design at the edge of Burlingame in North Park, and a 1970’s Contemporary Modern (think Sea Ranch meets Sunset Magazine) in El Cajon.

Currently on the market are some amazingly designed properties and as always we have selected a few of our favorites, including; a Modern townhome in the heart of Middletown, a Spanish Revival in Kensington, a residence in Little Italy’s La Vita with incredible views, a Mid-Century Modern in La Jolla, a historic designation worthy Prairie-style Craftsman in Mission Hills, and several others. Our out-of-town featured property comes to us from Roswell, Georgia and was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice, Richard Seedorf.

The La Jolla Historical Society is hosting a ‘La Jolla Modernism Home Tour’ in October, of which we are proud to be a sponsor, see the link below for more information and to purchase tickets.

Hope you enjoy this month’s volume.
