When it comes to detail, sophistication, and luxury, there is no property that can compare to this brand new traditional style home. Located in lower Mandeville Canyon sitting on a lush and serene 23,000 square foot lot, this exquisite estate features only the finest in architectural design and construction.
Upon entrance through the property's private gate you will be amazed at the stately presence of this home. The subtle touches expected from a true traditional can be seen in the neutral color of the shingled exterior, the thoughtful and balanced architectural design, and the crisp white trim. As you approach, you will come upon a spacious 700 square foot three-car garage, as well as a large flagstone-lined motor court with enough parking for family and friends. Breathe in the beautiful greenery, listen to the peace and quiet of the canyon, and see the mature landscaping on all sides of the property that offer privacy and serenity.
Step up to the entrance and find yourself in the shade of a classic East Coast covered porch with hanging lanterns and detailed wood columns. The beautiful front door introduces you to the magnificent two-story entry, and from here take in the wide-open floor plan, indoor/outdoor flow connecting the front and backyards, beautiful distressed walnut floors, and grand staircase. To the right of the entry there is a perfectly situated wood paneled study/home office with French doors leading to the gorgeous front lawn. Just off the study/home office, you will find yourself in the spacious formal living room with one of this estate's three stunning honed black marble fireplaces.
The living room can be sectioned off by convenient pocket doors, or opened up for more space and access into the warmth and light of the expansive family room. The family room takes advantage of its location at the back of the property with multiple French doors opening out to the perfectly landscaped backyard oasis. There is a beautiful dark-stained wood custom built-in fit for a painting or flat screen and home entertainment system, and below this you will find the second beautiful black marble fireplace.
This estate has been extensively wired throughout with low voltage network, speaker, phone, satellite, cable, and security wiring. It features 25 in-ceiling speakers house wide as well as a surround sound environment in the family room. All wiring has been 'home-runned' to a distinct and separate AV closet on the first floor for locating all necessary equipment.
The family room connects seamlessly to the stunning kitchen by way of a shared and gorgeously crafted tongue-and-groove ceiling. This perfect cook's kitchen features beautiful Ann Sacks gray limestone floors and name brand stainless steel appliances including Viking, Subzero, and Bosch. Other features include a massive Carrara marble center island with large sink and bar seating for four people, six burner Viking gas range with griddle and dual ovens below, hood ventilation system, and water filler. The spacious breakfast area features bay windows and French doors leading to the expansive backyard and is adjacent to the marble-topped kitchen desk/hutch area that features cubbies for mail, keys, cookbooks, and mobile phones. The oversized walk-in pantry at the head of the kitchen compliments the adjacent and efficient butler's pantry. The butler's pantry features an amazing 147 bottle Subzero wine refrigerator and plenty of cabinet space while providing service access to the elegant formal dining room.
The wood paneled formal dining room overlooks the beautifully landscaped front yard and offers the ideal setting for an elegant dinner party with friends or relaxed Sunday morning brunch with the family. In-ceiling speakers afford the opportunity for a romantic meal for two.
Down the back hallway you will pass the exit to the deep, three-car garage on your way past the rear staircase to the laundry/mud room and maid's quarters. The laundry/mud room offers access to the rear and side yards providing phenomenal storage in the form of upper and lower cabinets and a closet. The maid's bedroom features a bathroom that can be accessed from the pool area and backyard and could be used as a mother-in-law suite or office.
The second floor is equally stunning. One of the most impressive features of the entire house is the second floor family room. This family room can be considered the east wing of the second floor and opens to two of the five upstairs bedrooms. It offers the perfect configuration for a children's or guest wing and allows a feeling of privacy and comfort as well as a retreat. Use this flexible space as a place for family meetings, as a library, bonus or game room, or even as a Media Room as it features four in-ceiling speakers and is wired for two plasma locations. The choice is yours.
Each of the large upstairs bedrooms feature their own walk-in closets and full bathrooms with beautiful Cararra marble counters and showers featuring beautiful custom tile. The bedrooms are all spacious and welcoming with plenty of natural light, and each offer amazing views of the mountains, canyons, and the beautiful grounds of the estate.
The master suite is an exquisite and expansive retreat that defines this home. The high tongue-and-groove ceiling, beautiful casement windows, and separate sitting area make this room comfortably warm and inviting despite the immense size. This is the perfect getaway with plenty of sunshine and amazing views of the canyon and backyard. The master bathroom is fit for royalty with a stunning glass steam shower with three different shower heads including rain shower and separate water closets. The bathroom features white Venatino and Carerra marble finishes, a freestanding tub, and wainscot paneling. There are large his and hers vanities with a separate makeup area for her. The master suite also features an impressive gym/ office area with beautiful views and generous his and hers walk-in closets. Finally, the master features four French doors that open to a private and spacious balcony. This balcony is situated ideally overlooking the incredible estate grounds with amazing canyon views.
As you view the grounds from above, you will notice many spectacular features. Below you will see the immense pool with a raised terrace and flagstone staircases on either side, and the beautiful spa with waterfalls built into the terraced wall. The pool and spa feature an automatic pool cover for safety, energy efficiency and savings, and easier maintenance. You will also notice the expansive green yard below and the built-in stainless steel barbeque station featuring Viking appliances. There is an intricate flagstone patio that runs the length of the house and is perfect for outdoor living and relaxation. As the property slopes slightly up towards the rear, you may see a terraced garden oasis. There is even a serene and tranquil meditation area that is the perfect location to sit and unwind from a long day or just to take in the majesty of your home.
This property is truly unique. With over 7300 square feet of living space, and almost 24,000 square feet of beautiful lush land, no detail has been spared. Welcome home.
