Majestic and stately Classic Monterey Colonial estate set on a gentle knoll with ocean, city, and treetop views, tucked away in a very quiet and secluded pocket of the Riviera. Set behind gates and tall hedges on an expansive 18,340 sq ft lot and framed by towering trees, this timeless home showcases a perfect floor plan, high ceilings, gracious public rooms, and a sizable, lush, private yard. A welcoming, sun-filled double-height entry with coffered ceiling leads to a living room, large formal dining room, and inviting rich stained-wood library - each featuring its own wood-burning fireplace. Across the back of the residence is a published cook's kitchen, generous breakfast room, and fabulous family room with fireplace, all opening to a trellis-covered patio, pool, spa, lawn, and gardens for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Also on the main level is a wonderful junior primary suite overlooking the gardens, complete with a spacious bath and walk-in closet. In total, the home offers six en-suite bedrooms, including a sumptuous owner's suite with ocean and city views, fireplace, sitting area, lavish bath, two walk-in closets, private terrace, and separate office. Three powder rooms in the home thoughtfully serve guests. Additional spaces and amenities include an upstairs playroom/homework room, lower-level media room/kids' lounge or gym, bar, elevator, warm wood floors, refined detailing, and extensive custom millwork throughout. The grounds, designed by renowned landscape designer Nancy Goslee Power and previously highlighted on private tour, are exceptional. They include a cutting rose garden, raised vegetable bed, and a remarkable collection of fruit trees: multiple lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit trees, as well as avocado, peach, pomegranate, apple, nectarine, and fig. Exceptionally well designed and built with extraordinary attention to detail, this gorgeous home, situated in one of the Riviera's most coveted enclaves, will envelop you in quality and elegance at every turn.
