Detailed Introduction Of This Home
This legacy estate in the esteemed enclave of Pelican Crest brims with European style, every space curated with art-quality installations and finishes capturing panoramic views to match their incomparable setting that stretch from the Pelican Hills Golf Course, past crashing whitewater on the coast, to Newport Harbor, Palos Verdes, Catalina Island- and, by night, painterly sunsets, and shimmering city lights. The interiors embrace meticulous craftsmanship and elevated details from the breathtaking ceilings finished in opulent detail by J P Weaver to crown each room, to Richard Marshall hardwood flooring laid out in basket weave and herringbone detail, to imported stone and high-end, textured textiles and wall finishes that bring a refined sense of depth. In a relaxed yet equally elegant setting, the kitchen and family room suite, features exquisite hand carved cabinetry, a La Cornue range, two Viking ranges, warming drawers and Bosch dishwashers and encompasses an island as well as a breakfast area with sit-down ocean and harbor views. Also on this level, enjoy a full bar, movie theater, bedroom suite currently used as office, laundry room and jewel box powder room. On the second level, private spaces continue in the same curated aesthetic, with a junior master suite and two guest rooms. The primary suite is truly a transporting space, wrapped in two expansive view terraces, with a sitting area and walls adorned in stunning treatment- each panel custom designed for the room with silver leaf, hand painting and embroidery. Its sumptuous spa bath is crafted of exquisitely matched wood and stone panels and offers indulgent amenities ranging from a stand alone tub sourced from the UK, and luxurious walk in closet. The exterior setting is marvelous with manicured gardens, custom light fixtures done by Paul Ferrante, and a succession of Walter Arnold Custom carved planters and urns, antique wellhead, sprawling lawn, barbecue area, covered loggia, and infinity edge pool embodying the ultimate spot to take in those ocean panoramas. Other exceptional highlights include hidden air vents and speakers, Clive Christian cabinetry, antique Baccarat chandeliers and sconces throughout the home, skylights throughout in the hallways and kitchen and finished garaging for four cars, and a large motor court.
