The Weinberg Residence (1978-1980) by Sim Bruce Richards
The Weinberg Residence (1978-1980), now available for sale after decades in the hands of very few owners, a number of the original and long-time pieces of furniture are still in the home – including a fantastic vintage suite of T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings pieces designed for Widdicomb in the 1960s. Gates, lighting, stained glass, bells and an intoxicating front door by artists Hubbell are as dynamic as structural posts, door surrounds and a fireplace by Cranbrook trained ceramist Lopez (1912-1993).
The home of 3,287 square feet hosts four bedrooms, three bedrooms as well as a significant living/dining/kitchen space as well an enclosed patio space (adding approximately 1,000 square feet of living space).
Enjoy incredible views to the south across Wildcat Canyon. An estate of 1.52 acres engages the visitor across several microclimates from Japanese Black Pines surrounding the koi pond to a grove of oaks en route to the pool and jacuzzi and open-air boulder fields of native plantings beyond. Richards’ palette of rough-sawn cedar interiors, oak flooring, unique fireplaces and hand-built cabinetry at every turn is punctuated by priceless built-in works by sculptor James Hubbell and ceramist Rhoda Lopez.
The San Diego Country Estates HOA offers additional recreation and dining opportunities to the quiet, rural community.
The Weinberg Residence is currently available off-market with Keith York of Agents of Architecture, Inc.
