One of the last preserved estate properties sited directly on the sand of the Southern
California coastline. Nearly 1.3 acres of elevated land, protected from main streets and
bordered by two private, gated roads - this sprawling respite, surrounded by walled
gardens and a mature arboreal curtain is a true haven unfolding only to a 226-foot
panorama of wide sandy beaches along with sparkling ocean, evening-lights, and
sunset views. The spectacular residence, one of the largest and most refined in this
famed enclave's collection of architecturally significant homes, is a sight to behold. Built
originally in 1926, the grounds and blueprint encapsulate idyllic seaside living with the
scale and accommodations of a bygone era. Completely renovated in 2022, the home
was redesigned to incorporate the requisite elements for elegant, modern living - while
maintaining the level of architectural detail rarely executed today. Encompassing over
7,600 square feet of living space, the interior presents a symphony of visually
captivating experiences. Every consideration was made in creating exceptionally stylish
- yet livable formal and informal areas finished with complementary appointments.
Precision craftsmanship; an incomparable assemblage of imported stones and
hardwoods; uncommonly sourced materials; bespoke furnishings and textiles; designer
lighting, fixtures, hardware, and wall coverings; artisan-crafted millwork, finish carpentry,
and ceiling details; the finest culinary and bath amenities; advanced technological
conveniences; along with a curated selection of antiquities and commissioned murals
tastefully grace every turn. Ensconced by mature trees and specimen plantings, the
expansive outdoor surround affords myriad environments for splendid experiences in
the natural setting. A glittering, swimming pool, spa, with an adjacent dedicated bath
and pool deck; two interior courtyards; a reflecting pool with over 50 artisanal Koi fish;
multiple oceanfront terraces; a vast, verdant sea-front lawn; and a secured gate and
stair with exclusive access to the sand directly from the property crowns the
incomparable parcel. Further distinctions - a fully-permitted space to build an additional
structure/ADU; two over-sized garages; and a motorized, gated circular drive with
capacity for at least ten vehicles. With unmatched intrinsic value and lifestyle
opportunities - this is the most extraordinary offering in this region in decades.
