Driven by refined design, the property is the creation of a warm and inviting home embedded with a sense of coastal elegance. The owners drew from the previous style and personality of the existing home to layer in vibrant and lively nods to craft a personal retreat for themselves and their family. Located in the gated community of Rolling Hills, a short drive from the ocean, the residence is inspired by British Colonial design in which the owners believed influenced the property?s original styling. As a result, they completed an outright reworking of both the interior and exterior. The resulting home blends a laid-back approach with a sense of elegance and sophistication that aligns with its locale. Inside, this effortless layout consists of four bedrooms and two and half baths, along with a collection of formal and informal areas for dining, relaxation, and entertaining.

Its custom cabinetry, immense center island, and classic styling only add to the significance of the room. Outside the hillsides of the surrounding cities take center stage. Its elevated setting offers an isolated backdrop that gives the property a heightened sense of privacy. Here a collection of mature vegetation thrive, with a vast section of fruit trees to a handful of towering palms, the owners created a distinctive haven which would take decades to recreate. On the second floor, the primary suite acts as the owner's personal haven. Its elevated ceiling heights and vast mountainside view offer a comforting setting to finish the day.
