Property Description

Stunning Provencal villa taken down to studs and completely custom at every turn. This extraordinary view home is ready to enrich your lifestyle in the gated community of San Juan Hills Estates. Old World craftsmanship and unyielding attention to detail is apparent upon arrival at this single loaded street home, with smooth two-toned stucco, professionally designed landscaping and flagstone embellishing the exterior. A custom gate opens to a private entry courtyard with an elegant antique fireplace, providing an appropriately sophisticated introduction to the grand two-story residence. First impressions are breathtaking thanks to two-story main living area ceilings, four antique fireplaces, waxed and hand-hewn reclaimed ceiling beams, and a unique upgrade of hand-waxed plaster walls throughout. Expanded to approximately 4,000 sf, the fabulous showplace is as versatile as it is beautiful. 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths include a main-level ensuite with office and separate outdoor access that could become a future casita or ADU if desired. This level also hosts the opulent antique fireplace-warmed primary suite, which opens to the backyard and is appointed with a custom built-in dresser, enlarged walk-in closet with custom built-ins, freestanding antique bathtub, a walk-in shower and individual vanities. On the second floor, two bedrooms share a bath, and a distinctive library with balcony and large storage area offers the possibility of creating a fifth bedroom with private bath. Gorgeous public spaces include a formal living room with high ceiling and a massive antique limestone fireplace imported from France. Not to be outdone, the formal dining room flows effortlessly to the courtyard and evokes the ambiance of wineries in Provence and Napa, with French limestone walls and a built-in Beausejour wine cabinet. For casual living and entertaining, the seamless family room and kitchen boasts a French antique limestone fireplace, walk-in pantry, and antique doors in a passageway leading to the dining room. Custom cabinetry, limestone countertops, and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, including a six-burner range with griddle, pot filler and custom copper hood, are on display. Living areas easily access a private backyard, where panoramic views embrace evening lights and Saddleback Mountain, and shade trees complement a large stone patio, built-in BBQ island with Lynx grill, stacked-stone walls and an antique fountain. Nearby acclaimed St. Margaret's and J Serra schools.
