Perched high above the Pacific with panoramic views suspended between sea and sky, the former home of Theodor Seuss Geiselknown globally as Dr. Seuss, the most famous childrens author in the worldcomes to market as one of La Jollas most storied residential offerings. Today, the property is widely regarded as one of the best view lots in all of Southern California, celebrated for its extraordinary elevation and sweeping coastal vistas. Originally designed in 1950 by master architect Thomas L. Shepherd, the estate was thoughtfully built around a pre-existing Spanish Revival observation tower dating back to 19231924, created to showcase the sites remarkable outlook. From this hillside retreat, Geisel wrote 42 of his 68 published works, with the tower and adjoining office and study standing as enduring symbols of the propertys creative legacy. Both the observation tower and the office/study have been formally recognized for designation under the City of San Diegos Historical Resource Board Criterion B and must remain. Extensively renovated while preserving its historic core, the 5,000+ square-foot estate sits on approximately 1.51 acres and includes a separate pool house, all positioned to capture breathtaking ocean, coastline, and sunset views.
