Vibrant views of captivating sunsets, coastal waters, and swaying palms depict luxury beach living in this guard-gated Crystal Cove home, with a cul-de-sac setting providing privacy and relaxed vacation vibes. The pie-shaped 7,608 square foot, lot fans out to a generous backyard with patio, tranquil pond, and lush greenery and offers enviable views, where blue ocean waters meet the rugged outline of Catalina and beyond. A foyer with expansive ceilings and a gently curved staircase sets the tone, with custom stone tile floors beginning here, and continuing throughout the main living areas of this 4,058 square foot home, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The living room offers a warming fireplace, and a custom chandelier radiates luxe lighting in the dining room, with French doors opening both to a courtyard with sea breezes and a soothing fountain. Stunning ocean views are framed by a picture window in the light-filled family room, and a hearth with custom tile is set under a fireplace and media center that provides discreet storage for built-in audio in the main living areas. A granite-topped island creates a place to lounge in the newly renovated kitchen, where updates include custom cabinets, wine cooler, Wolf 6-burner range w/grill & dual ovens, and a dining nook adjoining the courtyard. All five bedrooms offer deeply hued wood floors and feature on suite bathrooms; two bedrooms are found on the main floor, giving the flexibility to use one as a home office or gym, and two junior suites and a primary bedroom are on the upper floor. The spacious primary suite has the feeling of an upscale boutique hotel, with a charming covered deck offering white water views that extend to Palos Verdes; evoking tranquil images of far-flung locales and endless summer days. A soaking tub, dual vanities, makeup vanity, and a walk-in closet are found in the sun-drenched on suite bath. An upper floor bonus area offers an additional place to unwind, and potential for a billiards room, screening room, library, or conversion to a 6th bedroom with a full bath.
