Awe-inspiring views of rolling hills and city lights, Catalina and Palos Verdes capture your imagination for everyday living and entertaining the moment you step inside this spectacular Cowan Heights home. Built in 1965, this 3-level custom home was expanded and rebuilt in 1996 using an architect’s design to create an ambience that evokes a sense of serenity and calm in warm and inviting rooms oriented to maximize views. High wood ceilings and custom maple millwork add to the tranquil appeal. Whether cooking in the gourmet kitchen appointed with high-end appliances and natural butcher-block island or grilling on the built-in barbecue, guests and family flow seamlessly between the patio, kitchen, formal living and dining rooms. A private upper level offers an en suite master bedroom with an intimate fireplace and a bath with luxurious soaking tub, oversized shower, pedestal sinks, and two boutique-sized dressing rooms. The lower level features a bedroom, bath, two person office (or 4th bedroom), and media room where you can mix up your signature cocktails at the wet bar. Open the French doors and let the party spill out to the backyard, patio or deck, erasing the lines between indoor and outdoor living and providing the perfect settings for every occasion. This luxury, privacy, and tranquility are located within the attendance area of award winning schools, and just minutes from Orange County’s best shopping, dining and entertainment.
