Built in 2003 as a forever family estate, the approximately 6,421-square-foot home features 4 ensuite bedrooms, 51/2 baths, six fireplaces, and an elegant blend of grandeur and warmth. A dramatic 14-foot leaded and wrought-iron entry door opens to soaring 10- to 25-foot ceilings, rich cherry wood finishes and gleaming hardwood floors. At the heart of the residence is a breathtaking living space anchored by a truly one-of-a-kind ceramic fireplace surround, handcrafted with intricate trumpet vine detailing.

The upstairs primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, dual walk-in closets, a pass-through fireplace, sitting room, and expansive balcony overlooking the infinity-edge pool and surrounding mountains. Designed to embrace Southern California's coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the grounds feature an infinity pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and a covered patio with a wood-burning fireplace.
