Renowned architect Don Nulty created the spectacular house to resemble an authentic Tuscan villa. It was completed in 2010 for its first owner, landscape designer Manuel Jimenez, whose clients have included Ty Warner and Oprah Winfrey. An impressively gated, tree-lined cobblestone drive winds through the park-like ground and leads to a large motor court at the front of the house. The spacious home is a classically Californian mix of relaxed and refined with exquisite architectural details that include marble and wood floors, gold-leaf accented honeycomb-patterned ceilings, soaring steel-trimmed doors and windows, arched doorways lined with stone, reclaimed tiles from Italy, and bespoke ironwork and millwork from Mexico.
There are fireplaces in the formal living and dining rooms, as well as in the library and the family room. In the eat-in kitchen, with vibrant patterned tile between the chunky wooden beams that crisscross the ceiling, massive arched windows open to a central courtyard with a fountain and a fireplace.
Between the main house and the detached bougainvillea-draped guesthouse, there are seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, plus a couple of powder rooms. In the six-bedroom main house, the primary suite is particularly posh, with a private terrace, a massive walk-in closet, and dual bathrooms.Much of the estate’s landscaping was redesigned and developed over the last six years by the seller.
