Property Description:

This Grand Spanish Colonial Revival estate enjoys a purity of architecture rarely found today. The one level home is adorned with vintage wrought iron, nine foot coved ceilings and anchored by original stonework that flows out to the median on APS. Ocean, city and harbor views are stunning from nearly every room. A deep expansive ocean view veranda and massive rear courtyard are ideal for entertaining in every conceivable way. With a freestanding fountain flanked by symmetrical rose gardens, the rear courtyard is immense and inviting. Scattered throughout are hand painted tiles inset into the stone work with old cast shell finials. There is no grander way to grace a grand foyer than this glass and wrought iron front door pavilion. The upgraded kitchen suite has a new six burner Viking range, four chandeliers, mobile island, two butler pantries, a formal breakfast room with wrap around ocean view windows and an intimate courtyard eating space. There are countless vignettes scattered over this half acre property that include paths, sitting areas and outdoor spaces. Experience an irreplacable patina in the five bedrooms, three and a half baths, morning room, formal dining room, and grand living room. In addition, an original "Batchelder fireplace" from the Arts & Crafts era sits grandly at the center of the living room for all to enjoy.
