Casa Paz del Mar

Located near the Lower Village shops, the beach, and the proposed Miramar Hotel and Spa, this grand 1920 seven bedroom George Washington Smith estate exemplifies the finest finish and design details of this extraordinary architect.  With over 8000 square feet, the house has spacious rooms for entertaining, its living room with 40’ wooden beamed ceiling, an elegant library for fireside conversations, and an extraordinary octagonal shaped dining room with a wall of French doors overlooking the  magnificent gardens.  The gracious wooden staircase leads to the upper floor bedrooms with fireplaces, ocean and mountain vistas and a garden view loggia.  

This home offers a rare glimpse of authentic l920’s architecture: original wavy windows, carved gothic style arched doors, tile floors with a warm, century old patina, five imported antique European fireplaces, and dramatic sconces such as the l7th century iron dragons from a Scottish castle.  The Lockwood de Forest gardens include vast expanses of lawn, European parterres and fruit trees that abound with oranges, plums, avocados and apricots. 

 

There is no other Smith estate like this with its rectangular layout and high pitched gabled roofline.  Much like owning an original Van Gogh painting, this home will be an original piece of art to be lived in and enjoyed.
