About This Home
As of June 2025Perched in the foothills of Mt. Helix, Casa Terraza is a masterpiece of Spanish-style architecture reimagined for modern luxury. This stunning home seamlessly blends old-world charm with state-of-the-art upgrades, offering a lifestyle of elegance, comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you step through the handcrafted mahogany front door, you’re welcomed by warm wide-plank flooring, sun-drenched interiors, and an open, inviting ambiance. Velux skylights bathe the main living spaces in natural light, creating a light and airy feeling. The high-end kitchen features an Ilve Italian range and oven, custom white oak cabinetry with brass accents, designer quartzite countertops, and floating shelves—a perfect blend of beauty and function. Designed for year-round enjoyment, this home offers multiple patios and a spacious pergola-covered courtyard with Saltillo tile, providing the ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Doors from the living room and one bedroom lead to a picturesque deck adorned with Moroccan Zellige and Cotto star-shaped tiles—a serene escape with breathtaking mountain views. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the smooth Santa Barbara stucco and classic red tile roof to the custom iron railings, copper gutters, and designer light fixtures that enhance its timeless appeal. Inside, refinished vintage doors with solid brass knobs, custom baseboards, and smooth trowel walls add character and sophistication. This home is more than a place to live-it’s a lifestyle that embodies the essence of Southern California living!
