4 Beds 5 Baths 4,074 Sq.Ft. 1.17 Acres

Description

Stunning contemporary pool home built in 2012 set on 1.17 usable acres with jaw dropping unobstructed ocean, island, city and mountain views extending from Point Magu to the Gaviota Coast. Magical inside and out in every way. Designed by Jeff Shelton and built by Becker Design Studios this 4 bedroom 4.5 bath two story home provides complete privacy while being built to the highest standard of fire hardened design available. The entry opens to a grand living room with 20 foot ceilings, an elegant Fortuny chandelier and polished concrete floors. The dream kitchen complete with large center island with soapstone counters and mahogany cabinetry opens to accordion folding French doors that access the new pool and give way to spectacular views. Other main floor features include a formal dining room with walls of glass, a guest bedroom suite, a family room and a third bedroom with private bath. On the second floor the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious bath, walk-in closet, and a view deck offering unparalleled vistas. A fourth bedroom and bath complete the upper level. Throughout the home, you'll find blended modern & luxurious features: polished concrete floors downstairs, mahogany wood floors upstairs, plaster walls, custom doors, and cathedral ceilings. The zinc-coated roof enhances the home's distinct architectural character. The meticulously designed grounds feature a variety of fruit trees, drought-tolerant native landscaping, a Gordon & Grant hot tub on a lower deck, and a trailer-mounted "tiny house" as a guesthouse/office with its own bath, and a new 3-car garage.
This extraordinary residence, a true work of art inside and out, offers a rare opportunity for those seeking architectural beauty combined with awe-inspiring surroundings. Located within the highly regarded Cold Spring School District, this is truly your "Castle in the Sky."
