3
bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 2 full), 2.5 baths, plus office—all with mountain
or pool/lush garden views, plus for those who can’t tear themselves away from
work, an office with DSL, answering machine and wireless access and free,
unlimited domestic phone calls.) From the
moment you walk in the door of this romantic property—and take in its nearly
entire back walls of glass fronting on the breathtaking blue pool, mountains
and lush landscaping—you’ll know you’ve found a special oasis. Total privacy
of the large, walled-in backyard of bougainvillea, tall grasses and
grapefruit-laden trees begs for skinny dipping in the 40 ft x 20 ft swimmer’s pool and jacuzzi spa—all while
taking in the spectacular mountains surrounding this Canyon Country Club
location. The trickle of the stone fountain is about the only thing you’ll
hear in this secluded paradise with no other houses in sight. The
spacious, nearly 3,000 square foot house with soaring ceilings is flooded
with natural light. It provides plenty of space and furnishings for relaxing
together with friends/family or getting away by oneself to read a
book—outside in the double-hammock or any of several lounge chairs around the
pool, or while sipping wine and relaxing on the covered outdoor living room
with cushioned couch, chairs and lamps. Or repair to the living room inside
and stretch out on the comfy L-shaped couch to watch football,
cable/HBO/Showtime or a DVD/VCR movie on the 42’’ HDTV plasma wall-mounted
television while the (gas) fire roars. The
contemporary 1974 house was entirely refurbished in 2003 by Los Angeles
designer Daniel J. Ricketts for his own use and is accented by Asian
antiques, artwork and rugs collected by the owner from her travels as a
foreign correspondent throughout the world. Every
detail has been thought of in this dreamy getaway. In the gourmet kitchen—a
cook/entertainer’s delight--one can stir the risotto in the Calphalon pots on
the five-burner Thermador stovetop, bake in the double ovens, keep dishes
warm in the warming tray, then tuck
them away in the ultra-quiet Bosch dishwasher all while never losing site of
the magical backyard views. Groceries load easily into the huge Subzero
refrigerator, minimizing trips to the food store. Friends or family can perch
on the stools surrounding the cook’s island while the chef does his or her
thing, using spices and other condiments the owner stocks for guest use. Move
to the adjacent wet-bar—with its wine cooler and frig--for martinis or
margaritas and then into the glassed dining room with ample room for 8 at the
table, gazing out at the stunning evening stars and the illuminated pool. Or
cook outdoors on the large built-in gas grill and dine alfresco—poolside--at
the outside table for 8. Or dispense
with the cooking and drive five minutes to dozens of restaurants in downtown Stereo
music/radio/CDs can be piped throughout the house and pool area’s Polk Audio
and Glass doors on the huge master suite open onto
the pool/mountain views. The beautiful beige Portuguese limestone that lines
the floors throughout the house also covers the sumptuous master bath that
features a sunken tub with an adjoining private garden and steam shower along
with a granite-topped double-vanity. Down duvets and pillows (hypoallergenic
bedding also available) and 400-thread count sheets top the king bed in this
room and the queen bed in each of the other two bedrooms that feature
mountain views and share an elegant bath with double sinks, granite
countertops and limestone tiled bath/shower. For those who can’t tear themselves away from
work, stay in touch with the office from out by the pool or throughout the
house with free wireless internet access from your laptop. Or connect on the
DSL or phone line from the spacious built-in granite topped marble desk and
drawers adjacent to the dining area. Or indulge in an afternoon of Scrabble
or Monopoly or Pictionary or reading the many books and current magazines
throughout the house. Walk to the grocery store or breakfast (just a
block away!) or hike or horseback ride on nearby trails, Handicapped accessible. Two-car garage with auto openers. Alarm system. |
