A tranquil lane in one of the village\u2019s most desirable locations serves as the idyllic setting for the home, which dates to 2001 and has been painstakingly maintained and thoughtfully updated in the intervening decades. Interiors\u2014which measure more than 10,000 square feet on three levels\u2014run the gamut from comfortable and casual to expansive and formal, affording options for both quiet private moments and grand festive gatherings. Living and dining rooms and a peaceful den are anchored by a cook\u2019s kitchen clad in elegant white marble and adjoined by an inviting family room. The welcoming billiards room on this level could easily serve as an additional bedroom, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary suite is secluded on the serene uppermost floor and features a spa-like bath with a shower and a soaking tub, a dramatic two-story walk-in closet, and a sitting room or office. Each of the five generous guest suites benefits from a distinctive palette and design scheme along with access to two balconies that overlook the lush grounds. The home\u2019s lowest level is dedicated to the elements of a more leisurely lifestyle, offering a media room, a recreation room with a wet bar, a game room, a wine cellar, a fitness center, and two baths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond, the alluring swimming pool and spa are surrounded by another sun-washed terrace, with a breezy wisteria-draped pergola with a fireplace nearby. Further afield, the sunken tennis and pickleball court is enveloped by stately evergreen hedges. Surely this enchanting estate has seen many an alfresco celebration over the decades, and with beguiling ocean beaches and celebrated shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions mere moments away, it feels destined to encourage relaxation and recreation for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
