About This Home
As of October 2018For the first time, one of Emerald Bay’s most exquisite properties—a gorgeous traditional estate that’s full of warmth and light—is on the market. Thanks to its premier location on a hillside street-to-street lot, spellbinding views of the ocean, crashing waves, Catalina Island, and beyond welcome visitors immediately upon entry, and are prominent throughout each of its levels. Along with striking high ceilings and a prime layout, the home offers a warm and inviting family room, a stunning living room replete with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and a hand-carved marble fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with appliances by Sub Zero and Viking. Spanning approximately 5,272 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms and four-and-one-half bathrooms, it exudes exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail at every turn, showcasing impeccable design by renowned architect Michael Martin. A tranquil master suite offers some of the property’s most mesmerizing ocean views in addition to his-and-hers walk-in closets and a master bathroom featuring statutory match slab marble floors and shower. A back yard—particularly rare in Emerald Bay—is framed by even more mesmerizing ocean views, creating yet another space in which to relax or entertain guests. With a private beach and many tree lined parks, the Al Simmons pool center, six championship tennis courts, 24-hour security and more, the community of Emerald Bay offers a luxurious living experience unlike any other.
