“An Italian Country Villa”

A four bedroom, five bath home designed for entertainment, and spacious comfort.

Exceptional amenities offered in this luxury custom home include:

An elegant entry foyer, open to a spacious parlor/formal living room. A grand dining room with eye-level fireplace and wine storage. Gourmet kitchen and Butler’s pantry are easily accessed by all of the common areas throughout the home. A private guest casitas is tucked-away for privacy and features a morning kitchen and access to the pool/spa courtyard. The three car garage is side loaded to enhance the exterior elevations.

The elegant library includes a fireplace, half bathroom, separate work office, and private entrance. A sprawling theater room features a full wet bar with pass-thru window to an outdoor terrace. The temperature-controlled, 1200-bottle capacity wine cellar provides the ideal backdrop to the 10 person theater/screening area, complete with acoustical enhancements and elevated seating arrangements.

Distinctive design allows for complete integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. At the heart of the design is the great room, which opens to an expansive outdoor covered loggia by way of two 10’ wide fold-away “Nana” glass walls. This creates the ultimate entertainment venue, combining indoor and outdoor living as one. The loggia is comprised of an outdoor bar-b-q kitchen and wood-burning fireplace, along with an outdoor home theater. Beyond the loggia is the pool/spa courtyard, complete with pool bath, and wood-burning pizza oven. This dramatic private courtyard area creates the focal point for nearly all of the designated living areas.

Unique exterior appointments include extensive use of natural stone, along with hand-made, two-piece Roman “cap-and-pan” clay roof tiles, exposed wood and custom precast concrete accents, and an earth-toned, hand-trowel stucco finish. The interior is enhanced by hand-plastered walls, solid Alder wood doors, and a mix of natural stone and exotic hardwood flooring throughout.

The residence will also be equipped with a state-of-the-art Crestron home automation system. The Crestron system will streamline and simplify all the technology in the home, offering the ultimate lifestyle of comfort and convenience. Crestron's award-winning Total Home Technology Solution eliminates the need to walk from room to room to adjust drapes, lights, temperature, and audio/video components. Color touch-panels, remotes and wall-mounted customized keypads provide complete control over virtually all of the home’s features.
