Elegant magnificence. A gorgeous custom home with beautifully and artfully designed interior spaces and exterior grounds. One of two of the largest lots in Walnut Acres, only one other is as vast. This awe-inspiring estate rests upon 1.25 acres and is completely walled and gated, while also enveloped in the lushest of landscaping. A truly unique addition to this gently romantic property is the custom built music studio where many legendary artists have recorded, and is the creation of the owner, a three time Grammy winning Latin music Producer, legendary himself. Square footage of the music studio NOT included in the 4493 for the house. The entire home was completely rebuilt in 2000 with individually selected custom materials including natural stone columns, steps, statues and water fountain from Mexico. Handcrafted doors, including an antique front door which, upon entering, reveals the soft beauty of the sumptuous front room. Five bedrooms with tranquil views of the gardens, and five bathrooms. A true cook's kitchen, with carefully chosen materials and appliances, is the warm and inviting space one dreams of...perfect for entertaining. An actual treehouse, discovered while strolling the path toward the music studio, is ready made for kids. Old fashioned street lamps, water features and stunning bougainvillea add to the romance of the meticulously maintained grounds. Lutron automation, brand new shades throughout, motorized skylights, new (2020) roof and new (2021) floors are offered, as well as a newly resurfaced pool, situated next to a relaxing veranda. Award winning schools. This is Southern California indoor/outdoor living at its finest, the embodiment of both a lovingly crafted home and a spectacular entertaining miracle.
