This home is truly THE HISTORIC MASTERPIECE! Panoramic ocean views from the third floor turret seating area, private grounds, lovingly restored! Requa designed, and built in 1926, this home unparalled with it's elegance and beauty. Only steps to the world famous Coronado Beach and blocks to the Hotel Del Coronado. 'I want the best that you can give me. I don't want you to feel when it is done that you could have done better if you had not been limited.' William Gunn's instructions to Richard Requa and Herbert Jackson prior to designing the home at 1127 F Avenue, now known as the W.A. Gunn House, which is Richard Requa's premier expression of 'Southern California Architecture.' While the details of the design and finish materials, which have been retained, are far too numerous to list, the aura that is felt, as you step back in time and experience what California's most revered architect created on one of the most incredible building sites in Coronado, is truly something special. There are dozens of large estates near the beach in San Diego County. None of which compare to what Richard Requa designed when given 'carte blanche' to create the W. A. Gunn House. Owning this property is like collecting a piece of livable art. The existing home consists of 3 BR 5BA, however, plans have been approved though the Historic Restoration Committee to add an additional approx. 2,000 SF through the expansion of the 3-car garage to a 5-car garage. The Seller is providing a $750,000 allowance to the buyer to make these improvements. Call or click "new site plan/alter." for details..
