Description

Architectural Japanese-Modern Masterpiece by Chikako Terada “The Zen Haus” has been featured in San Diego Magazine, this one-of-a-kind OCEAN VIEW Japanese-Modern residence—designed by acclaimed architect Chikako Terada—is now offered for the first time. Over a year and a half in the making, this 3,416 sq. ft. home seamlessly blends tranquil Japanese simplicity with modern luxury and has recently undergone extensive designer updates to make it even more extraordinary. The highly upgraded, elevated kitchen is a showpiece, capturing panoramic east-to-west views of both the mountains and ocean. Anchored by a large social island, it serves as both a chef’s workspace and a welcoming gathering spot for family and friends. From here, enjoy views down into the dramatic Great Room, where soaring floor-to-ceiling windows with remote see-through shades bring the outdoors in. A striking 28-foot block fireplace commands attention, drawing the eye to the Douglas Fir open-beam ceiling. Built-in shelving create the ultimate environment for entertaining. Each spacious bedroom opens to a private veranda, framing serene mountain or city views through expansive free-flow windows. Outside, a resort-style backyard with lap pool and spa completes the retreat, while solar power adds modern sustainability. Every detail has been designed to maximize natural light, clean lines, and harmony with the landscape—making this residence both an architectural wonder and a rare opportunity.
