The entry motor court provides ample guest parking and sparkling clean 4 car garage with 2 air conditioned storage rooms, built in cabinets, a large sunny window, and individual wood and wrought iron hardware garage doors with automatic openers provides ample space for vehicles. The drive itself is made entirely of hand laid granite stone chips placed in an intricate arched pattern designed to mimic the old courtyards of a European village. The front of the home begins with a grand full length Terrace and the ambiance of 2 Cantera Stone Fountains of the Living Room and Dining Room/Library/Den sides of the Terrace. The Terrace flooring is a random 2 tone Cantera Stone Tile that was hand scraped in place to give it an old world look. The same Cantera Stone Tiles were used on all patios, balconies and pool surround.
The home and guest house took 3 years to construct and is made of combination of block construction and steel and wood framing to create walls that are up to 3 feet thick, recessed windows that give the feeling of a castle. Reclaimed French pavers were imported and reclaimed authentic barnwood was used in flooring for its warmth and charm. Vaulted ceilings with large rustic beams were hand carved in place by an artisan while lying on his back on scaffolding. Each fireplace is a unique design of a combination of stone, some carved, rustic hand made and wrought iron grates and screens and hearths to warm the home. The walls were hand finished with subtle scrolled designs that melt into the old world finish, Venetian plaster was used in the Library/Den. All Wood Casement and French Doors are clad on the exterior. Most arched large picture windows with southern exposure have automatic sunscreens on either the inside or outside of the home built neatly tucked into a hidden valance that allows the beauty of the outdoors and very timeless window treatments. Custom Wrought Iron Door Hardware and 8 foot interior Alderwood doors are amazing. All 4 heat pumps were recently replaced with the newest high efficiency heat pumps, about $38,000 cost and lower utility bills.
For great sound and ambiance, there are built in stereo speakers in nearly every room and on patios and outdoor pool area with a whole house system and control panels in all rooms where there are speakers. Stereo equipment stack stays with the home and is located in a central closet. TV's built into cabinetry and media center stay with the home.
All figures and measures are approximate and vary and while believed to be accurate are not guaranteed. The outside wall measure is significantly different than the inside wall measure on a home that has 3 foot thick walls, the cost of construction is significantly higher with steel framing and block construction. The exterior finish is a faux stained colored concrete that was hand applied.
Cost of construction not including lot was $2.8 million. Interior appointments, window and wall treatments, and furnishings were an additional $500k. The furnishings may be purchased separately, if desired. Upgrades since construction include $38,000 in replacement of all AC units to highest Sear Rating, $25,000 in new hot water heaters and interior garage and storage rooms epoxy floor and wall paint and exterior stained concrete touch ups.
