A picturesque estate located at the top of Crystal Cove and providing idyllic sights of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina, Newport Harbor, Palos Verdes and beyond is on the market for $69.8 million.
This seven-bed, thirteen-bathroomm custom-designed 15,500-square-foot home— complete with 3,640-square-feet of decks and loggias— is placed in one of the most desired areas in Southern California, sitting on a 26,600-square-foot parcel of land overlooking the best views the area has to offer.
The home’s white Jordanian marble interior and exterior pillars and onyx walls express an unparalleled opulence. Stepping into the foyer reveals the sheer extravagance of the estate, featuring elaborate staircase railings and one of many chandeliers. Here, dew drops mimick falling from the stained-glass dome— the only one of this magnitude in a residence in the United States.
Intricate marble of various colors drape many of the walls on this property, giving each room a distinct, yet cohesive sense of luxuriousness. The first floor includes an office/library with grand views; both formal and informal dining rooms; en-suite guest rooms; a grand formal dining room with a wine cellar; a gourmet SieMatic chef’s kitchen; a second fully equipped prep kitchen and an outdoor kitchen.
The main suite is enhanced with elaborate custom cove ceilings, a kitchenette, walls adorned with a silky fabric, two lavishly oversized walk-in closets and flawless oceanic views. It also features two enormous spa-like bathrooms with additional heated marble flooring, a Kohler Numi toilet and bidet, glass showers and a Jason soaking tub.
An elevator will lead you down to the lower level equipped with entertainment for any and all guests. This floor includes a state-of-the-art theater, a bar with a pool table, a Life Fitness gym and a zen massage room with steam shower, dry and wet saunas. Additionally, a climate-controlled 3,725-square-foot ten-car-garage featuring a car turntable can easily be converted into an event space.
Lying within the magnificent backyard complete with sculpture gardens, the estate features a mosaic custom pool designed by U.K.-based artisans ornately accented with handmade tiles. Named “Sunrise to Sunset,” this one-of-a-kind artwork mimics a pond filled with Koi fish and ocean-life. Ideally placed outdoor seating and dining areas have been designated along the property, providing the best angles of the incomparable California sunsets.
The listing is held by agent Rex McCown of Compass Realty.
