Nestled within the prestigious neighborhood of Highland Park, this magnificent one owner custom-built Mediterranean estate exemplifies superior quality and craftsmanship at every turn. Meticulously designed and curated by Debbie Settle, formerly with Cole Smith, Smith Ekblad & Associates, and crafted to the highest standards of quality by renowned English Heritage Homes, this residence epitomizes timeless architectural design and luxury living in every detail.

Approaching the home, one is immediately struck by the grandeur of its natural limestone exterior, distinctive beautiful Spanish barrel tile roof, and commanding presence overlooking the verdant expanse of historic Flippen Park, where only 14 other homes have the privilege of sharing this sought-after location.

The interior of the home is replete with noteworthy-sourced custom design materials and features integrated with careful and meticulous purpose and craftsmanship.

French style double steel windows and doors, including the iconic Crittall designs, flood the interiors with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoor spaces. Leaded and stained glass windows, magnificent rift-sawn patterned oak floors in varied widths, reclaimed Pennsylvanian hand-hewn antique beams, hand-carved corbels and hand-chiseled soldier bricks, rich maple cabinets, 2 1/4" double-paneled solid maple doors, 11" base moldings, 10 1/2" door casings, extensive custom millwork throughout, and rare, antique Parefeuille hand-poured floor tiles sourced from 19th-century chateaus in Southern France add an unequaled distinctive quality, charm and timeless elegance to the home.

The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, a culinary enthusiast's dream come true. Featuring sumptuous maple cabinets and top-of-the-line commercial sized Stainless-steel appliances, new Taj Mahal full slab countertops and backsplashes, double ovens, dishwashers and warming drawers, this kitchen is the perfect blend of functionality and style. Storage space is more than ample, including cabinets lined with Pacific Cloth for your silver storage. The adjacent wet bar is perfectly positioned for an easy flow when entertaining indoors or outside on the loggia and pool area.

Off the kitchen, a gallery wall of double steel arched doors opens to a charming loggia, complete with fireplace and phantom screens, offering an inviting and expanded area for outdoor dining and relaxation.

The two-story family room with a floor-to-ceiling arched window, a striking limestone wall and vaulted cypress ceilings with hand-hewn beams, a locally commissioned stained glass window that present owner will customize with new owner's name, creates a dramatic focal point to gather around the oversized raised hearth stone fireplace to overlook the sparkling pool.
Adjacent to the family room is the light-filled solarium, showcasing the beautiful custom-designed Crittall steel windows and doors, the perfect escape for intimate, informal gatherings, game and card playing, or quiet, peaceful reading.

The home boasts five luxurious en-suite bedrooms, including a convenient downstairs bedroom that offers flexibility to use for guests, family members, or for a private home office overlooking the pool and back yard.

The primary suite is a sanctuary of tranquility, featuring a master bath that rivals a spa retreat with a mosaic-tiled steam shower, multiple body sprays, reclining bench, oversized soaking tub, and lavish onyx countertops. A fireplace in the primary bedroom adds a touch of warmth and intimacy to the space, offering the perfect majestic oak treetop view of Flippen Park. In addition to the spacious primary closet, the bedroom also has a hidden closet, providing space for additional clothing or discreet storage for valuables and personal items.
