Tall regal gates, sturdy stone pillars, stalwart grandfather trees, a circular paver motor court, and a French fountain create a fittingly majestic introduction to the grounds, which measure nearly a full acre, and the home, a bastion of Mediterranean influence, readily apparent in a quintessential barrel-tiled roofline, walls of cloud-white artisan plaster, rugged stonework, and gracefully arched windows.
Suffused with warm, mellow natural light, the soigné 11,050-square-foot interiors encourage relaxed day-to-day living and sophisticated entertaining. The comfortable, inviting living room is illuminated by a bank of steel-framed glass doors opening to an iron-railed terrace accented by stone archways. Nearby is a chic corner dining room with a coffered ceiling and French windows on two sides. Cooks of all skill levels will appreciate the kitchen, with its oversized Calacatta-topped island, counter seating, sizeable range with built-in hood—one of a full complement of top-tier appliances—butler’s pantry, and French doors giving way to a covered patio ideal for plein-air meals.
Other highlights include a relaxed lounge accented by brick floors, a dramatic antique mantel, and an Art Deco–inspired cocktail bar with a marble backsplash and countertop; a library or study flooded with a warm glow and featuring a stately fireplace and a wall of useful built-ins; a gym; a theater with a private entrance; and a three-door three-car garage. One of seven bedrooms, the owner’s suite is a loft-like oasis with white-oak hardwood floors, a treetop view, two impressive custom-appointed skylit walk-in closets, and dual spa-inspired baths—one with a soaking tub beside a wall of windows that opens to a sunny, breezy terrace for surveying the realm and the skyline.
With Mediterranean flair reminiscent of postcard-worthy retreats in the Tuscan countryside, the estate’s idyllic courtyard offers a dining area set amid flourishing flora, multiple fire features, and a spacious outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill, a sink, and a wood-burning pizza oven. On the other side of a tall courtyard wall is a sun-washed terrace and a refreshing swimming pool accompanied by a cool, breezy covered patio. This singular oasis of citrus groves, century-old olive trees, landscaped gardens, and a stylish, secure residence cultivates a resort-caliber lifestyle befitting one of the most prestigious, desirable settings in Los Angeles and beyond.
