"The approximately 5,000-square-foot house is owned by UC San Diego and comes with a pool and pool house on 1.51 acres at 7301 Encelia Drive. The Jason Barry Team of Realtors at Barry Estates is handling the sale. The estate, designed in 1950 by master architect Thomas Shepherd, "was thoughtfully built around a pre-existing Spanish Revival observation tower dating back to 1923-24, created to showcase the site's remarkable outlook," according to the Jason Barry Team."
"As many as 42 of Geisel's 68 published works were written at the house, including the famed children's books "The Cat in the Hat," "The Lorax" and "Green Eggs and Ham." The house was renovated in 1995, but the tower and office were kept in place. Both the tower and the office have been designated as historic by the San Diego Historical Resources Board and must remain through any future renovations."
The La Jolla estate formerly owned by Theodor Geisel and his wife Audrey is listed for $9.95 million. The approximately 5,000-square-foot property sits on 1.51 acres and includes a pool and pool house. The home was designed in 1950 by architect Thomas Shepherd around a pre-existing Spanish Revival observation tower dating to 1923–24. As many as 42 of Geisel's 68 published works were written at the house, including The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax and Green Eggs and Ham. The tower and an office were preserved during a 1995 renovation and are designated historic. UC San Diego will market the property under the Stull Act with sealed bids opened on April 16; two adjacent lots sold last year for $9 million.
