Experience an unparalleled union of elegant Old World luxury and modern-day amenities at this grand Italian villa behind the guarded-gates of Ritz Cove in Dana Point, where ocean views, uncompromising attention to detail, and the finest materials are showcased. An elevated homesite of nearly 7,161 s.f. provides stunning whitewater, Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, sunset and park views that are enjoyed from inviting terraces, balconies and decks, as well as both levels of the estate’s interior. Custom entry doors open to a circular foyer with a sweeping staircase and domed skylight, setting the stage for refined living and entertaining. Throughout the residence’s formal living and dining rooms, versatile loft, gym, media room, four ensuite bedrooms and 4.5 baths, genuine artisans and trained craftsman have displayed their talents through the use of wood ceilings that are unique to each room, smooth Venetian plaster, and limestone, teak and walnut flooring. Hand-carved wood, tile and limestone fireplaces warm interior and exterior living spaces, with two offering impeccable reproductions of mantles at Hearst Castle. Hosting an ocean-view nook with bay window as well as access to the loggia, the magazine-worthy kitchen boasts 140-year-old hand-carved European walnut cabinetry.
