About This Home

Timeless 1925 Beaux Arts Revival Luxury Estate
Welcome to this extraordinary gated estate, a rare jewel blending early 20th-century Beaux Arts Revival architecture with modern luxury. Nestled on nearly 30,000 square feet of flat, landscaped grounds, this magnificent residence offers over 6,172 square feet of living space across the main home, guest quarters, and newly added ADU, creating the ultimate private compound for entertaining, or multigenerational living.
Passing through the dual electronic gates and circular driveway, you are welcomed by a dramatic facade that sets the tone for the grandeur within. Enter through the stately front door into a two-story foyer, highlighted by an elegant Y-shaped staircase and soaring ceilings, where 4,350 square feet of light-filled, open living space awaits.
The first floor features:
• A spacious bedroom/office with adjacent bathroom.
• A grand living room with fireplace.
• A formal dining room perfect for hosting.
• A library/family room with fireplace.
• A gourmet chef’s kitchen, outfitted with commercial-grade Viking appliances.
Upstairs, find four generous bedrooms and three baths, centered around a curved open landing. The primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired, upgraded bath and a luxurious, custom walk-in closet. High ceilings, intricate crown molding, and central air & heat throughout elevate the home’s timeless character.
The outdoor spaces are an entertainer’s dream. The estate’s manicured grounds showcase a sparkling swimming pool, a tranquil water fountain, an outdoor fireplace, and a built-in barbecue area. With over 100 exterior lights, the property transforms into a magical nighttime retreat. A newly added 1,240 sq. ft. covered porch serves as the centerpiece of the backyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Additional living spaces complete this rare compound:
• A three-car garage with attached pool house/studio and bath.
• A private two-bedroom, one-bath guest house (approx. 1,100 sq. ft.) above the garage, with a separate entrance and charming patio—ideal for rental income or extended family.
• A brand-new ADU , with 670 Sqft of living space featuring one bedroom, one bathroom, a sleek modern kitchen, dining, and open family room with glass walls overlooking the pool and backyard.
Every corner of this estate has been thoughtfully curated to balance historic elegance with modern comfort, offering a rare opportunity to own a true legacy property.
