Description
Commanding attention from its prominent corner homesite, this custom Tuscan-inspired estate reflects the talents of Oatman Architects, Ziccardi Designs, and Corbin Reeves Construction, and is among the finest on Corona del Mar's prestigious Ocean Boulevard. Unobstructed ocean, Catalina Island, sunset and Newport Harbor channel views stretch 180o from the elevated entry terrace clad in stone and featuring ample room for outdoor dining and an open-air fireplace. Breathtaking views continue indoors beyond a 10' tall mahogany entry door while oversized Riviera bronze windows and doors welcome natural light into a fireplace-warmed living room. On the opposite side of the foyer, a magazine-worthy kitchen boasts leathered marble countertops, a stunning brick-finished triple-barrel ceiling, custom cutting board, butler's pantry, and breakfast room with terrace access and pizza oven. Appliances are top-tier and include a Le Cornue range and integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator. Down the center hall, two temperature-controlled wine displays flank a fireplace in the family room, which opens to a private courtyard with custom fountain. A mud room with outdoor access and full beach bath, and an attached three-car garage are also featured on the first level. A three-stop elevator, which can be accessed in the garage for true no-step living, and a magnificent travertine spiral staircase provide access to the second level which is home to all four bedrooms (one currently used as an office), an ocean-view sitting room, and a bonus/ craft room with wet bar and Murphy bed. Ocean views are on full display in the luxurious primary suite, where a custom repurposed floor inlay, fireplace, sitting area, two-door entry, and two walk-in closets can be enjoyed. Crowned by an enormous skylight, the primary bath showcases a stunning, custom-commissioned hand-carved solid marble tub that was lowered by crane through the skylight during construction. Every detail of the approximate 5,325 square foot home is exquisite, including custom millwork, dramatic stone-finished archways, French oak flooring, Crestron home automation, Lutron lighting, beamed and groin-vaulted ceilings, and custom window treatments. Moments from John Wayne International Airport, premium dining, shopping, and recreation, 3428 Ocean Boulevard offers inspired daily living that few are fortunate to experience.
