The story
Tucked away on Exchange Place in the heart of the Village, this 1929 Tom Shepherd original is a rare chance to own a piece of La Jolla's iconic, architectural history, just a short stroll from the village's shops, restaurants, galleries, the Cove and along the coastline. Preserved in remarkably original condition, the home showcases the craftsmanship and character that made Shepherd's homes some of the most sought-after of the era. A private courtyard creates a true indoor-outdoor retreat, perfect for morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply enjoying the La Jolla climate in complete seclusion, a rare luxury so close to the village. Out back, a detached one-bedroom, one-bath ADU offers its own private entrance, patio, and in-unit laundry, ideal for guests, a home office, multigenerational living, or rental income. Homes of this pedigree, untouched and this close to the village, almost never come to market.
