About This Home

As of January 2025

This one-of-a-kind San Marino estate is now available, showcasing unparalleled craftsmanship & top-tier, renowned brand amenities. This Mediterranean home has been meticulously remodeled from top to bottom, representing an extraordinary transformation into a truly unique dream home. Upon arrival, you’re greeted by a beautifully landscaped front yard with expansive tile paving & a solid wood entry door. Step inside to a formal foyer that seamlessly transitions into a contemporary engineered wood floor throughout the first level. The spacious living room features a striking single piece Italian marble fireplace, complemented by elegant arch doors framing views of the front yard. The formal dining and family room areas are adorned with Hollywood-style handcrafted chandeliers, while a custom-built bookshelf with French doors leads to the backyard. Delicate molding lights enhance the ambiance in both the living, family and all bedrooms. The European-style kitchen boasts Italian Scavolini cabinets, all high-end Miele kitchen appliances—including a professional-grade stove, exhaust hood, built-in refrigerator, coffee maker, and dishwasher—and a dramatic Italian marble island with a waterfall design. The natural stone countertops and tiled walls add to the kitchen’s allure, which overlooks the beautifully landscaped backyard. This estate offers four en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite and an office on the first floor. Each bathroom features luxurious materials such as large marble slabs or natural stone, with elegant tile work in the showers. Ascend the metal-carved staircase, illuminated by a crystal chandelier, to the second floor where three additional suites await. Each bedroom is spacious and uniquely styled with high-quality carpet and custom wallpaper. The main master suite, situated for ultimate privacy, includes a lavish bathroom with a separate shower & tub, double vanity, steam shower, and an expansive walk-in closet with custom dividers. Additional upgrades include new copper piping, new wiring for the entire house, an extra Honeywell air purifier, Toto smart toilets, Italian Naurelle light fixtures, and solid wood interior doors. The professionally designed front and back yards feature a sparkling newer pool and a low-maintenance area with a basketball court. This home epitomizes luxury with an extensive list of high-end upgrades. Located in a peaceful and desirable neighborhood, it is an exceptional property that you won't want to miss.
