The Wexler Residence by Lloyd Ruocco in San Diego’s Mount Helix Neighborhood
Originally built for Sidney & Henrietta Wexler, the home is a classic example of California Mid-Century Modern architecture.
With incredible mountain views from its idyllic and private Mount Helix setting, the home offers the full experience of indoor / outdoor living complete with sliding glass doors and a wrap-around deck.
The current owners, principles at Nyhoff Architecture, recently completed an immaculate full kitchen remodel with all new Bosch energy efficient appliances, and created a separate downstairs guest suite. Additional updates include oak wood flooring, a new roof, recessed LED lighting, and enhanced landscaping throughout the 1.66 acre property.
Everything was done to match the original aesthetics and intended design of the home (ie. new Walnut cabinets to match the originals with new white solid surface quartz to replicate original Plastic laminate countertops). The home is part of the Mills Act for substantial property tax savings.
Universally respected as one of San Diego’s fathers of the post war modern architectural movement, Architect Lloyd Ruocco was equally devoted to the art community as well as the city itself. His ultimate goal was to better the lives of the people of San Diego through his tireless efforts to promote and encourage art, architecture and design; many would say that he achieved his goal.
Instrumental in founding several community design organizations, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3, Allied Artists and Allied Craftsmen. Lloyd Ruocco laid the foundation for architects, artists and designers to come. Source: ModernSan Diego.com
