Description

With sweeping views from nearly every room, enormous windows, very high ceilings, and gorgeous detailing throughout, this very private contemporary estate is the perfect setting for lavish entertaining and undisturbed retreat. The two-plus acre gated property sits on a cul-de-sac surrounded by terraced and landscaped grounds with expansive space for gatherings, meandering flagstone pathways, pomegranate, guava, grapefruit, and orange trees, and scenic vista points. Modernized with signature vision and skill by Doug Burdge, AIA, the home's uncluttered, contemporary interior preserves handsome classic details, such as arched openings and a palatial foyer highlighted by double-height ceilings and an exquisite curved staircase with scrolled railings that winds to a columned mezzanine on the bedroom level. The living/dining room's huge windows frame sensational vistas of verdant hillsides, Little Dume, coastline, ocean, and Catalina Island, and glass doors open onto a spacious view patio for al fresco dining and entertaining. The updated chef's kitchen has a tray ceiling, granite-topped center island, walk-in pantry, breakfast area with wraparound views, and a breakfast counter that overlooks the welcoming sunroom/family room with a fireplace and automated window coverings. A media/bonus room and two bedrooms complete the main floor. Upstairs, there are four en-suite bedrooms with balconies, including the primary suite, which is a luxurious private getaway complete with sitting room, meditation room/office, fireplace, private balcony, dual walk-in closets, dual resplendent baths, and spectacular views. Additional features of this gated-community residence include three fireplaces, a newly resurfaced ocean-view pool and spa, huge lawns for relaxing and recreation, multiple patios, four garage spaces plus room for ten vehicles in the large motorcourt, and numerous smart-home features. An amazing property of beauty, substance, and comfort. Seasonal or short term rentals only. Seasonal and short term rental amount to be $65,000 per month.
