Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2011, this estate falls within the 10-20 year age bracket defined for a 'good' rating. The property is in pristine, move-in-ready condition, featuring ultra-luxury components such as a La Cornue range, Sub-Zero appliances, reclaimed Old World flooring, and integrated smart home systems (Control4 and Lutron). While the craftsmanship is of the highest caliber, the home's age and lack of a documented full renovation within the last 5 years align it with the 'good' criteria.
Designed by renowned architect Eric Trabert, this Italian villa features reclaimed Old World flooring and hand-crafted details that offer an Architectural Digest-level aesthetic.
The estate includes rare luxury features such as a nine-car subterranean garage, a private elevator, and a speakeasy-style theater inspired by the historic Roosevelt Hotel.
A culinary masterpiece equipped with a La Cornue range and rotisserie, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, and a temperature-controlled walk-in wine room.
With nearly 10,000 square feet of living space and extensive mechanical systems like an elevator and subterranean garage, ongoing maintenance and utility expenses will be substantial.
Despite the premium price point, ocean views are restricted to 'peek' glimpses from the primary suite rather than the expansive vistas often expected at this level.
A nearly 10,000-square-foot residence on a 14,000-square-foot lot results in high lot coverage, which may feel restrictive for buyers seeking expansive lawn or garden areas.
Recognized as one of the most distinguished residences in Covenant Hills, this Architectural Digest–caliber estate represents a rare fusion of inspired design, impeccable craftsmanship, and grand scale. Designed by renowned architect Eric Trabert with landscape design by Scott Zucker, this Italian countryside–inspired villa sits on an ultra-private, nearly 14,000-square-foot lot within an exclusive triple cul-de-sac setting. Mature olive trees, fountains, citrus groves, trumpet vines, and a grape-covered trellis create a breathtaking arrival, setting the tone for a residence that blends timeless elegance with refined luxury. Spanning nearly 10,000 square feet, the home showcases reclaimed Old World flooring, soaring ceilings, dramatic chandeliers, and hand-crafted architectural details throughout. The chef’s kitchen is nothing short of spectacular, featuring a La Cornue range, ovens and rotisserie, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, concealed refrigerated drawers, and a temperature-controlled walk-in wine room—perfectly suited for both grand entertaining and everyday living. The expansive floor plan offers six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two private offices, home gym, an upstairs loft, and seamless indoor-outdoor living through dual pocket doors leading to a stunning entertainment loggia with a private fireplace and built-in heaters. Designed for both luxury and lifestyle, the residence also features a private elevator, Control4 smart home system, Lutron lighting, a nine-car subterranean garage, and a theater inspired by the historic Roosevelt Hotel speakeasy. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private balcony with peek ocean views, dual custom closets, and a spa-like marble bath reminiscent of Breakfast at Tiffany’s elegance. The resort-style backyard is an entertainer’s dream, offering a private pool, multiple lounge and firepit areas, a covered outdoor living space with fireplace and heaters, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with Fire Magic grill and custom Woodstone pizza oven. Impeccably finished and unlike anything else in Covenant Hills, this remarkable estate represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most exceptional homes ever built in the community.
