The coastal city is known for its stunning golf courses, gated communities and the ’17 Mile Drive’, which is the main road through Pebble Beach and which non-residents are charged a toll to use.

Selling the exclusive property is Ann Soske, 80, along with her three adult children.

Soske purchased the home in the 1970s with her late husband Joshua Soske, who died in 2022.

The couple purchased the Pebble Beach property for $600,000, according to public records.

Originally, the house was built for then-president of the Cypress Point Club of Pebble Beach, Harry Hunt.

Sports Illustrated reported in 1956 that Hunt played a round of golf with President Dwight Eisenhower at the club.

The Soskes made the Pebble Beach house their primary residence, and Stephen Soske, who grew up there with his brothers, recalled, “For a while, we had four horses.”

The recently renovated house retains much of its original character, including the Spanish influence, seen here in the tiles on the stairs and curved doors.

Now that the children are older, the house has become the family’s secondary residence.

For the past few years, Stephen has been overseeing the renovation of the property: “We wanted to update the rooms to make them look more modern, whilst maintaining the heritage and architectural style of the house.”

The home’s original features, such as iron railings and carved wooden doors, were preserved and restored during the renovation.

The unique terra cotta and Douglas fir floors were maintained while the kitchen and master bathrooms were renovated.

Stephen declined to disclose the cost of the home improvement project, but says she will be greatly missed.

“It’s going to be a real loss for our family,” he said.

It’s not unusual for Pebble Beach homes to make a lot of money: Another home in the community was listed for sale last month for a staggering $39 million.

The record for the most expensive home sold in Pebble Beach is held by a 3-acre estate that sold for a whopping $36.9 million last year.
