Embraced by one of the most desirable locations in Ladera Ranch, this impressive custom estate reveals a completely new remodel that showcases a broad spectrum of today’s top-level appointments. The grand Santa Barbara-style residence, which features a large corner homesite on an intimate cul-de-sac behind the guarded entry gates of Covenant Hills, offers privacy and luxury without equal. Enjoy the advantages of having only one direct neighbor, beautiful landscaping complemented by lifelike water-saving turf, an inviting front patio, and a long driveway and motor court with parking for four leading to an attached three-car garage. Welcome guests through a custom arched entry door into a stunning two-story foyer, where a floating circular staircase recalls the grand estates of Old Hollywood. Approximately 5,918 square feet, the expansive two-level design exhibits four ensuite bedrooms, including a secondary primary suite on the first floor, four and one-half newly re-imagined baths, a main-level office, second-floor office or study space with built-in desks, and an oversized loft with two skylights. Formal affairs are generously accommodated in a living room with a towering ceiling and contemporary fireplace with a sleek stone surround, and a dining room with ample space for 10 or more. Everyday living is easy in a bright family room with an enormous bay window and a tray ceiling with soffit lighting. The family room flows without borders to a casual dining area and a brand-new kitchen with a walk-in pantry, oversized island, calacatta marble countertops, white Shaker cabinetry, slide-away glass doors that open to the backyard, a full tile backsplash, six-burner range with pot filler, and a built-in refrigerator. On the second level, guest suites are large and comfortable, with one revealing a secret finished attic space that is ideal for impromptu slumber parties. Encompassing nearly the full width of the estate’s second floor, the main primary suite hosts a double-door entrance, fireplace, sunny deck, walk-in closet, and a hotel-caliber bath with a freestanding tub. Grounds cover almost 14,000 square feet, providing extra room for entertaining by a pool and spa with waterfall, relaxing by a custom fireplace, or enjoying libations on the wraparound patio. Fresh paint embellishes the exterior, and archways, wide-plank white oak flooring, beamed ceilings, custom crown molding, whole-house audio, and outstanding craftsmanship distinguish interior spaces.
