More Insights

Built in 1937 (89 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1937, this estate has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations. The kitchen is architect-designed by Peter Gluck, featuring top-of-the-line Wolf and Miele appliances, modern cabinetry, and marble countertops, appearing virtually new. The 3,000+ sq. ft. studio/guest house is also architect-designed with soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, and a very modern bathroom, indicating recent and significant updates. While some main house bathrooms retain a more traditional style, they are well-maintained and functional. The overall property, including reimagined grounds with an ozone pool and tennis court, reflects a comprehensive and recent modernization to current luxury standards, with no deferred maintenance visible in key areas.

About this home

1st time on the market in 23 years, this 1937 Classic Mediterranean Estate, combines historic charm with architectural innovation.The main residence offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a family room, office, and den. An architect-designed kitchen by Peter Gluck, principal of Gluck+ in New York, serves as the centerpiece of the home. Outfitted with Wolf and Miele appliances, dual refrigerators, a butler's pantry, and 2 dishwashers, it is both striking and highly functional. Also designed by Peter Gluck, the dramatic 3,000+ sq. ft. studio/guest house is a space of light and possibility, with soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, skylights, and its own wet bar and baths. It offers extraordinary flexibility as a creative studio, guest retreat, or professional workspace. The grounds have been reimagined by Assembly Design, whose vision created the ozone pool with its dedicated pool house, lighted tennis court, and gathering spaces. Surrounding landscapes were crafted by Bertotti Landscaping, integrating mature trees, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, and diverse plantings that thrive within the property's gentle microclimate. This private 1.86-acre estate is framed by two gated entrances, 3 garages, and beautifully composed gardens. It balances seclusion with convenience to shops.
