An extraordinary custom estate of unrivaled grandeur, this palatial residence evokes the timeless elegance and opulence of a European royal retreat. With breathtaking Catalina, Long Beach, and Palos Verde views, the property unfolds as a stunning showcase of symmetry, scale, and artistry. Inspired by the magnificence of classical French design, the residence features five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, an office, game and play rooms, a soaring custom wood staircase, custom hardwood floors, solid wood doors, approximately 4,023 square feet of living space, and intricate moldings with handcrafted finishes throughout. Expansive formal living spaces are thoughtfully designed for both grand entertaining and intimate gatherings. A dramatic entryway, adorned with a crystal chandelier and ornate detailing, serves as the stunning centerpiece of the home. The gated entrance, highlighted by an impressive lion-head fountain adorned with Alhambra tile, makes a striking first impression. Multiple balconies and a covered patio create picturesque spaces for al fresco dining, while a resort-style pool and spa, cascading waterfall, fire pit, built-in BBQ, and breathtaking city-light views elevate the home’s sense of serene luxury. The private quarters are equally impressive, highlighted by a lavish primary suite featuring an illuminated Royal-style bed with custom built-ins and upholstered fabric panels. A beautiful fireplace and spacious sitting area add warmth and sophistication. The primary bath is appointed with a spa-inspired jetted soaking tub, an oversized walk-in closet, a private commode and bidet room, a large steam shower, and an expansive private deck. Lovingly owned by the same family since 1973, this exceptional residence is being offered for sale for the very first time since its original custom transformation. Blending old-world elegance with modern sophistication, this remarkable estate presents a rare opportunity to experience a lifestyle defined by beauty, privacy, and prestige — a home where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the splendor of a bygone era.
