In the 1970s, the Burrell family privately purchased this parcel from the Vanderlip family, later subdividing it into 11 lots and transforming the former Radar Towers into what is now Del Cerro Park. True to its name, the home's distinctive architecture is defined by five octagonal rooms that flow seamlessly from one to the next, creating a uniquely sculptural and connected living experience. In 1997, the Olson family acquired the residence and continued its distinctive architectural legacy, adding an octagon-shaped pool and spa in 2002. A bonus L-shaped room was also added during the renovation, providing additional flexibility and living space. Today, the Octagonal Oasis stands as a singular expression of design, history, and coastal livinga home with a story unlike any other, ready for its next chapter.
