Villa Tyto Alba, an Escondido home designed by famed San Diego architect Norman Applebaum for a former U.S. Ambassador, has come on the market for $2.2 million.

The house has two wings, a chef’s kitchen, four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The primary bedroom opens to an office/exercise room, while a library sits off the guest bedrooms. A centerpiece brick fireplace runs from floor-to-ceiling in the great room.

Less apparent are the energy-efficient features. The house was designed with photovoltaic panels that provide electricity while reducing visibility. A geothermal system heats and cools the home’s foundation. Applebaum, who died in May, designed and remodeled dozens of homes over more than 50 years and befriended many of his clients for life, including the Matheron family,

. He received the Robert Mosher Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor bestowed by the San Diego chapter of the American Institute of Architects, in 2018.
