Located in the very prestigious gated community of Kinneloa Ridge Canyon Estates, this ridgeline home overlooks the entire LA basin, with clear weather, Western views out to Catalina, and San Gabriel Mountain foothill views to the East.
The dramatic estate offers a sumptuous architectural presence, beginning curbside with a spectacular courtyard entry and driveway leading to the arched front porch and entry. Intricate, custom, wrought ironwork sets a sophisticated tone for the entire estate, beginning with the front doorway created entirely of plate glass and wrought iron. Beautiful arches are repeated throughout, for a pleasing curvilinear feel throughout the home.
The magnificent ironwork continues in the stunning two story foyer, up the spectacular curved staircase and across the overlook from the second floor. The finest in marble, onyx, travertine and granite stone and tile work creatively graces the main living areas, fireplaces, the second floor master suite and bathrooms to create a truly magnificent complement to the home’s architectural presence. The color palette of several subtle hues on the walls, flooring and cabinetry provide a breathtaking architectural and textural foundation for any decorating style.
