Everything Under the Sun

The romance of Italy and the exclusivity of Rancho Santa Fe’s exquisite guard-gated enclave of The Bridges harmonize with a location along the golf course to create a magical setting at this .52-acre custom estate. Embracing extraordinary living with expert craftsmanship, stunning architecture and professional interior design, the warm and welcoming home on a meandering cul-de-sac street is graced with a gated entry courtyard, 4 en-suite bedrooms, 5.5 baths, a guest casita, a paneled office with bay window, a 750-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, custom paint and glazing, large archways, crown molding, and an array of lofty wood-beam, lighted and hand-painted ceiling treatments. Every detail is exceptional, including wrought iron, mosaic stone work, imported Italian light fixtures, antiqued and distressed custom alder doors, wood floors in select rooms, 4 dramatic fireplaces and 2 laundry rooms. The 2-level design of approximately 6,000 s.f. lives like a one-story floorplan, with a guest suite and a luxurious master suite on the main floor that offers pool access, dual oversized closets and a glamorous bath. Both fashionable and functional, the custom-crafted kitchen displays granite countertops, a large island with prep sink, rich cabinetry, butlers pantry, and pro-inspired stainless appliances. The kitchen flows into a great room with large walk-in wet bar and slide-away doors that open to a loggia. An impressive staircase leads to a game room loft that is shared by 2 guest suites. Manicured gardens and colorful vines join a variety of custom fountains including a curved wall of fountains in grounds that boast an enormous pool with spa and diving board, a fireplace-warmed loggia with HDTV, outdoor kitchen with bar seating and BBQ, and a motorcourt adjoining a 3-car garage. The Bridges offers a rare and coveted lifestyle close to tranquil beaches, recreation, shops, restaurants and respected Rancho Santa Fe schools.
