The premiere [sic] limited edition penthouse at 1020 Prospect Street in La Jolla promises buyers a one-of-kind property that has been meticulously designed and curated for discerning home collectors.

The penthouse suite, or Unit 402, comprises three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and over 3200 square feet of living area at Muse La Jolla, a project underway to convert Prospect Center, an office building built in 1967 and designed by noted Southern California architectural firm Ladd & Kelsey, into 16 luxury residential units.

The renovation of this classic icon preserves the integrity of the architects original modernist vision, listing materials promise, while elevating the property to a whole new level that meets the expectations of modern luxury.

Every element of Muses airy interiors have been thoughtfully considered to design the ultimate trophy property worthy of the most discerning buyers, the listing continues. Features include expansive stacking slider window walls opening the residence to the ocean for the ultimate indoor/outdoor living experience, dramatic 10- to 12-foot ceiling heights, gracious entry foyer, and a breathtaking private skytop terrace.

The kitchen includes a book-matched Taj Mahal granite full height signature kitchen wall, white acrylic cabinetry designed by Pininfarina (the Italian design studio thats also responsible for the look of Ferrari automobiles), white Alpine quartz counter slabs, and a Miele appliance package complete with built-in coffee system.

The master suite includes an indulgent two-person steam shower featuring a dramatic Copenhagen granite architectural detail. Other luxury appointments throughout the unit include gallery walls throughout the open floor plan for the display of private collections, designer fixtures by Gessi and a temperature-controlled walk-in wine room and bar with the same book-matched granite as the kitchen. (Book-matching is a technique wherein seams between multiple slabs are selected to match up, creating the illusion of one solid slab).

Soaring 1012ceilings, expansive window walls allow for panoramic view corridors of the ocean, Mount Soledad, La Jolla Village, Prospect Street, and Girard Avenue resulting in experiential moments throughout the living spaces, the listing continues, concluding that the extraordinary attention to detail illuminates a bespoke sophistication and creates a striking canvas for superlative interior materials and finishes.

Each penthouse includes a breathtaking private sky-top terrace with permanently protected ocean views (due to law changes since the 1960s construction concerning coastal building heights) as well as a private three-car garage within the controlled-access parking structure and access to a 24-hour concierge service.
