Timeless beauty is found throughout this 5,466 +/- s.f., 4 bed, 6 bath home, with hand-crafted finishes that include exposed wood beam ceilings, wood floors & arched doorways. In the kitchen, crisp white cabinets and Cristallo porcelain counter tops complement a 6-burner Wolf range w/ double-ovens, paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a large center island.

The main-level master with soaring barrel vaulted ceiling, offers a sitting area that overlooks the resort-inspired rear yard, with fireplace and an ensuite with a jetted tub set in an arched alcove. The remaining 3 bedrooms all offer ensuite baths and views of the Pacific or lush greenery. Nearly $1M was invested in outdoor space amenities that are ideal for relaxed family fun. A bridge over the pool leads to an elevated view terrace, and a large cabana houses a kitchen w/grill station & bar, as well as a lounge area with a TV and warming fireplace & heaters.
