Inspired by the private villas of Europe s romantic Mediterranean region, this sublime custom residence in Crystal Cove s guard-gated Estate Collection has it all, from fabulous ocean views and top-tier appointments to generous space and lush grounds. Sequestered on a small cul-de-sac street, the opulent home is poised on a hilltop where unobstructed panoramic views span the azure Pacific Ocean, dramatic canyons, natural hillsides, lush fairways, evening lights, beaches, Catalina Island, sunsets and Orange County s famous coastline. Grounds extend nearly 21,607 SF and frame the home with formal gardens, custom fountains, a gated entrance, private courtyard, and a resort-rivaling backyard with pool, spa, loggias, a built-in BBQ center and a lawn for elegant gatherings. Glass and wrought iron entry doors open to a circular foyer with illuminated art niches that provides an appropriately impressive introduction to the villa, which reveals seven en suite bedrooms, eight full and three half baths, two offices, a bonus room/loft, and a subterranean level with wine cellar and custom state-of-the-art theater in approx. 11,888 SF. Beyond the rotunda awaits a phenomenal great room that features a high open-beam ceiling and oversized fireplace, and is flanked by colonnade-style halls with stunning cross-loin ceilings. One hall opens to a private courtyard via numerous sets of Palladian-style French doors, and the other offers passage to a formal dining room with patio, and the home s casual living and entertaining spaces. A great room with built-in entertainment center opens directly to a richly appointed kitchen complete with a separate breakfast room, butler s pantry, oversized island, built-in refrigerator and a pro-grade Wolf range. This level is also home to the primary suite, which offers an ocean-view loggia, expansive custom closet, and a luxe bath with freestanding tub. Enjoy an eight-car garage, view balconies, and a top-floor bonus room with ocean views.
