Over the past century, the fabled property in the 7200 block was home to the Ralphs supermarket founder; the wealthy scion of the Cudahy meatpacking family; and producer Joseph M.

We bought the property in 1974 from the Dudley Murphy estate. In 1979, we sold 10 condos designed (and built in 1939 for Murphy as motel units) by famed architect Richard Neutra. The remaining two lots, which have a total of 83 feet of beach frontage, represent what Stern called the first Escondido Beach Road home sites available to the public in more than 20 years.
