Disclaimer: The La Jolla Razor house was not listed or sold by Tiffany Torgan and Co. Congratulations to all parties involved in the sale of this insanely gorgeous La Jolla Home! This Iconic Modern Estate was designed by Wallace E. Cunningham, noted by Architectural Digest as one of the top 100 Designers and built-in 2007.
This unique state of the art home just sold in La Jolla Farms for twenty million eight hundred thousand dollars and was re-listed off-market on April 15th, 2019 at twenty-four million nine hundred ninety-five thousand dollars, reduced from thirty million, where it previously sat on the market for two hundred fifty-five days prior. The La Jolla Razor House was named after Razor Point Trail in Torrey Pines and originally listed at thirty million dollars.
The name for the La Jolla “Razor House” may seem like it’s because of it’s modern, chic and sharp design, however, it is named after the Razor Point Trail because its views and surroundings look like that of the Razor Point Trail in Torrey Pines State Reserve. You can feel the serenity of nature and landscape, which almost looks like a fake backdrop against the timeless, yet the modern and luxurious architecture of The Razor House.
The home sits on a Bluff in Torrey Pines State Park. The juxtaposition of the desert-like terrain with sand, cactus, but also mature Torrey Pine trees against the deep blue ocean is truly captivating. As if that isn’t enough of sensory overload, imagine adding the beautiful Razor House against that scene. This home paired with its backdrop will leave you speechless. The Razor House is nothing short of that. The panoramic sweeping views that The La Jolla Razor house offers paired with the design of the home makes you feel like you are walking on a dream. It has a similar air as the Salk Institute, which is located just around the corner and will make you feel as if you stepped into another world and into a Salvador Dali painting. The architecture, walkways, staircases, glasswork, tile, stone and pieces of the home look more like sculptures than a piece of a home, and that is exactly what Cunningham intended.
