MODERN LA MESA: The Pierce House, originally designed by local developer Philip M. Pierce, is light and airy as an abundance of glass connects the interior with the landscape. Enjoy extensive views to the east – overlooking the village of La Mesa and Mt. Helix beyond – from the living room, kitchen and front patio – while the backyard, under a canopy of trees, offers a woodsy microclimate. Enjoy sunny mornings, shady afternoons and starry nights from outdoor spaces as well as inside – which hosts a number of this home’s original, fantastic design features.
