Description

Set on over an acre within the private, gated community of Rancho Santa Fe Lakes, this distinguished European-inspired estate offers an exceptional blend of privacy, scale, and everyday convenience. Gracefully set back from the street and framed by mature trees and lush landscaping, the home makes a striking first impression with its porte-cochere and oversized four-car garage, all while maintaining a warm and welcoming presence. Impressive wood and glass doors open to a dramatic foyer with a sweeping curved staircase and a living room defined by soaring volume ceilings, travertine flooring, and a fireplace with a custom mantle. Expansive celestial windows bathe the space in natural light and frame views of the manicured grounds. Just off the entry, a richly appointed executive office with custom built-ins and hardwood floors offers a refined workspace, while the formal dining room features wainscoting, a brass chandelier, and mahogany Pella doors that open to a charming patio with an outdoor fireplace and pergola. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen and open family room create a seamless setting for both daily living and entertaining. The kitchen showcases a generous center island, granite countertops, natural stone backsplash with pot filler, Wolf cooktop and ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and full-sized built-in wine refrigerator. A sunlit breakfast nook and large picture windows overlook the elegant backyard, while the adjoining family room with built-in cabinetry, wet bar, and fireplace connects effortlessly to the covered loggia. The main level also includes a private guest suite, powder room, and a practical mudroom with sink just off the garage. The home is equipped with a 7-zone surround sound system and whole-house water filtration, enhancing comfort and quality throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite captures elevated views over the backyard and beyond, complete with a fireplace, retreat area, and custom built-ins. The remodeled bath features cherry cabinetry, granite counters, travertine floors, and a natural stone shower. Three additional bedrooms, including one ensuite, share the upper level along with a common space and a dedicated laundry room. A covered loggia spans the rear of the home, leading to a natural stone pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, firepit, and pavilion that separates the entertaining terrace from expansive lawns and gardens. Residents of Rancho Santa Fe Lakes enjoy lakes, trails, tennis courts, and access to the San Dieguito School District, all just minutes from shopping, dining, and the coast.
