Spectacular sweeping coastal vistas from San Clemente Island to the Palos Verdes Peninsula are featured throughout this impeccable Crystal Cove custom residence, creating a constantly evolving backdrop that elevates every space within the home. Blending Northern Italian architecture with a refined transitional interior style, this estate spans approximately 12,500 square feet of inviting indoor living space on a generous and flat parcel of nearly one half acre, with an additional 1,300 sf of covered outdoor living space. Thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate everyday living, in addition to an oversized great room adjacent to the open-concept chef's kitchen and sequestered "dirty kitchen", the residence offers a formal living room, dining room, office/library, six luxurious bedroom suites, seven full baths, two powder rooms, a full-service bar and lounge with temperature-controlled wine cellar and dramatic glass wall display, private theater, game room, two laundry rooms, open-air atrium, subterranean garage for 8 vehicles, and an elevator servicing all three levels. Stepping outside, the experience rivals that of a five-star resort, with a custom 360-degree infinity-edge pool and spa just steps away from a cabana with fireplace, a large grassy yard, and a bluff-side fire pit -- all set against the endless Pacific.
