This meticulously designed Mediterranean home, offering three exquisite levels in 2989 square feet, reveals the architectural framework and details that one might expect to see in Europe. A theme of arches and exposed, reclaimed beams provide timeless elegance throughout this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath residence. With a minimal canvas in mind, bleached wide-plank Douglas Fir floors and limestone provide warmth, texture, and sophistication, while stunning venetian plaster walls reflect natural light. The sundrenched ground floor is appointed with a cozy office/media room, including a fireplace and west-facing French doors. The adjoining en suite bedroom is fitted with custom storage and affords charming views of the mature olive trees. A noteworthy laundry room provides ample storage and a custom sculptural travertine stone sink. The open-air travertine staircase connects you to a spacious mid-level foyer adorned with archways that lead to the private sleeping quarters. Two bedrooms have integrated storage, shelving, and a built-in travertine desk surface; the Jack-and-Jill bath offers custom brass fixtures and a venetian plaster shower and barrel ceiling. The primary suite includes a cozy fireplace, seating area, and integrated wardrobe storage, while the bathroom features a walnut and soapstone double sink vanity, enclosed toilet, and a barreled ceiling walk-in shower. On the third floor, the custom kitchen overlooks the Pacific and allows access between two balconies. The bespoke walnut island provides 24' linear feet of concealed storage and kitchen electronics can be utilized from within in a walk-in walnut-paneled pantry. The warmth of a fireplace separates the island from a spacious 6-8 person dining table, while the perimeter of the kitchen is appointed with integrated Gaggeneau refrigeration. The main sitting room boasts yet another fireplace with plenty of seating for larger gatherings. Illuminated storage and architectural lighting highlight plaster arches and suggest warmth and authenticity throughout this spectacular retreat. Amenities include a two-car garage with epoxy floor and custom storage, an ADT security system, integrated Sonos speakers, and Lutron smart lighting. Ideally sited near the beach as well as the shops and restaurants of North Manhattan, this truly unique property offers unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail, stunning at every turn.
