About this home
Poised above the Pacific, this European country manor unfolds with a quiet sense of romance and old world grace, where ocean and island views stretch endlessly beyond beautifully tended grounds. Approaching through a gated entrance and graceful drive, the home reveals itself gradually, its classic architecture and refined lines recalling the charm of a countryside estate brought to the California coast. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by an elegant foyer highlighted by a beautifully detailed staircase and a statement chandelier overhead, creating an immediate impression of warmth and understated grandeur. Sunlight filters through generous windows and doors, illuminating rich wood floors and drawing each room outward toward the patios and gardens beyond. The interiors unfold seamlessly to the outdoors, creating a natural connection that echoes the home's coastal setting. The main level centers around a spacious gourmet kitchen that blends seamlessly with the breakfast area and adjacent gathering spaces, establishing an easy rhythm for mornings, afternoons, and evenings alike. A gracious living room and formal dining room provide beautiful settings for hosting, while a bedroom suite and private office offer comfort and flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat unto itself. A fireside sitting room, spa inspired bath, and private balcony overlooking the water create a serene escape at day's end. Two additional bedroom suites and an office complete the upper level, each enjoying soft natural light and tranquil outlooks. Outside, the grounds open to a sparkling pool and sunlit patios designed for leisurely afternoons and al fresco dining, all framed by lush landscaping and wide blue horizons. A detached structure with a full bath provides added versatility for visitors or creative pursuits. Elegant, timeless, and beautifully composed, the residence captures the spirit of a European manor while embracing the relaxed sophistication of coastal living.
