About This Home

As of March 2017

New price! Big $900,000 reduction for the most discriminating buyer searching for an architectural entertainer’s compound. Features a 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bath main house with an additional detached bedroom, ¾ bathroom and a separate, detached one-bedroom, one full-bath living quarters. Enter through private, custom, artful, iron gates and wander through the lush tropical grounds that lead to this eclectic, private, hilltop, resort-like oasis. With 5800 sq. ft. (per appraiser), nestled on 3 acres of land, fruit trees, enchanting gardens, and a curved patio gently shaded with wraparound vine covered trellises, you will encounter many zen-like spaces in the outdoor areas. Admire the 270 degree views, reminiscent of the hills of Tuscany, capturing only the lushest and greenest parts of the city. Enter into a serene abode, adorned with lavish built-in artwork, eclectic surfaces, and cleverly designed furnishings. This includes built-in, antique-style furniture, and Tiffany-style glass fixtures that will remain, even after the escrow closes. The interior of the property includes design elements that most art aficionados would adore… Art Deco, beveled, etched, leaded, and stained glass. Custom designed pool & spa, built-in BBQ entertainment center, and waterfall graced koi pond.
