Description

With NorCal lodge-style post and beam craftsmanship, this architecturally refined 4-bed, 4-bath extremely private estate is nestled within the Palisades Riviera with nearly 4,000 SF of interior space on a lush half-acre of land. Inside, refinished peg and groove oak floors, wood trim, exposed posts and beams, and magnificent floor-to-ceiling fireplaces evoke the "Grand Lodge" style. Unobstructed treetop views to the ocean are captured from each of the four levels, and mature trees and surrounding six-foot fencing and double-wide setbacks ensure privacy. The kitchen has high-end appliances and backsplash tiles by a local Pasadena artist. Outside, two large freshwater ponds with waterfalls trickle in the background. Magnificent curved stone retaining walls, remodeled stone pathways and walkways with french drains meander throughout the enchanting backyard, where lush fruit trees and dense foliage abound. Three fountains, a footbridge, and three small vineyards complete the exterior charm. Inside, the primary suite has cathedral ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a walk-in closet, stunning ocean and treetop views and a large wraparound deck. A two-car garage plus all windows and doors alarmed by ADT add ease.The fourth level and converted workshop area were formerly a guest house and stable owned by Hollywood legend Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Surrounded by celebrity neighbors, with ample street parking and hiking trails easily accessible just a block away, this corner lot is a true storybook wonder.
