Description
Inspired by the private villas of Europe's romantic Mediterranean region, this sublime custom residence in Crystal Cove's guard-gated Estate Collection has it all, from fabulous ocean views and top-tier appointments to generous space and lush grounds. Sequestered on a small cul-de-sac street, the opulent home is poised on a hilltop where unobstructed panoramic views span the azure Pacific Ocean, dramatic canyons, natural hillsides, lush fairways, evening lights, beaches, Catalina Island, sunsets and Orange County's famous coastline. Grounds extend nearly 21,607 SF and frame the home with formal gardens, custom fountains, a gated entrance, private courtyard, and a resort-rivaling backyard with pool, spa, loggias, a built-in BBQ center and a lawn for elegant gatherings. Glass and wrought iron entry doors open to a circular foyer with illuminated art niches that provides an appropriately impressive introduction to the villa, which reveals seven en suite bedrooms, eight full and three half baths, two offices, a bonus room/loft, and a subterranean level with wine cellar and custom state-of-the-art theater in approx. 11,888 SF. Beyond the rotunda awaits a phenomenal great room that features a high open-beam ceiling and oversized fireplace, and is flanked by colonnade-style halls with stunning cross-loin ceilings. One hall opens to a private courtyard via numerous sets of Palladian-style French doors, and the other offers passage to a formal dining room with patio, and the home's casual living and entertaining spaces. A great room with built-in entertainment center opens directly to a richly appointed kitchen complete with a separate breakfast room, butler's pantry, oversized island, built-in refrigerator and a pro-grade Wolf range. This level is also home to the primary suite, which offers an ocean-view loggia, expansive custom closet, and a luxe bath with freestanding tub. Enjoy an eight-car garage, view balconies, and a top-floor bonus room with ocean views.
