Quality, charm, elegance! This exquisite Spanish Revival custom-built home is located in the exclusive wooded Oakland Estates just 2 miles from the Medical Center. Unique architectural elements enhance the dramatic entry and interior ceilings. This is evidenced by the large beams in the living and family rooms, and uniquely carved out skylights throughout. The amazing living room floor is of the finest Santo Tomas Lila Marble, quarried in Mexico. Two Crema Viejo Travertine tiled fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the master suite create a cozy ambience in chilly weather. The chef-style kitchen will be the focal point for entertaining. Complete with a stainless Wolf 6 burner gas stove, Wolf grill, and 2 separated ovens, an island, and counter for seating, it's an entertainers dream. Additional features are a large walk-in-pantry and full bar. There is a huge beamed family room, library, and separate flex/media/office space. The large master suite affords space for a sitting area and opens to it's own private terrace. It features a huge walk-in-closet and the adjoining bath features an oversize jacuzzi tub & double vanities. Portrait windows in all the bedrooms and great rooms open with an incredible view to the travertine patio, courtyard and pool. This glass walled vista to the beautiful treed landscape blends the outdoors with the home's interior and creates an illusion that doubles the home's size. There are a total of 5 bedrooms (each with adjoining full piece ensuite and walk-in-closet). For the Handipersons, the four berth garage and workbench is a sanctuary for them and their vehicles. For the energy conscious, this property features a new large solar panel installation, able to supply all the home's energy needs should the grid fail, yet flexible enough in normal operation with an excess that can be sold to CPS, thus lowering utility costs. The property is in a rare city area that permits horses. This elite 5700+ sq. ft. gem, centered on nearly 2 professionally landscaped acres, was built to enhance every aspect of your life; family, entertaining and career. It has never come to market before. An oasis and retreat that offers resort style living for an unrivaled quality of life.
