Reward yourself with a custom-caliber estate that exudes warmth, prestige and a touch of contemporary flair at the guard-gated Covenant Hills enclave in Ladera Ranch. Set on a premium homesite that neighbors a small park and spans more than 15,500 square feet, the expansive residence has a commanding street presence that is enriched with a gated front patio with fountain, gorgeous custom hardscaping, and a long, gated driveway leading to a private motorcourt and garage. Westerly neighborhood, hill and city-light views complement private grounds that embellish entertaining with a fireplace-warmed courtyard and a spectacular backyard with pool and spa, a cabana and grill area with full kitchen, a private bath with shower, beautiful olive trees, and updated landscape lighting for enchanting evenings under the stars. Luxurious upgrades adorn interior living areas as well in a 5-bedroom, 4-full and 1-half-bath floorplan of approximately 4,770 square feet. A custom vibe is created through the artistic use of Venetian plaster walls, hardwood flooring, a Juliet balcony, custom stone and tile finishes, designer accent walls and paint, 3 sets of glass bi-fold doors that bring the outdoors inside, and custom lighting, built-ins, surround sound and hardware. A fireplace framed by lighted art niches complements the living room, the dining room opens to the courtyard, and the family room flows directly to a remodeled kitchen with new white cabinetry, marble countertops, an island, nook, pantry, cooktop pot filler and Wolf appliances. One bedroom is located on the first level along with a versatile office, and the lavish primary suite crowns the second floor and offers views, a tray ceiling, linear fireplace, a walk-in closet with furniture-caliber built-in cabinetry, separate vanities and a soaking tub. An owned solar system, 4-car garage, whole-house filtration and fans, new AC and a tankless water feature bring the home completely up to date.
