Proudly presenting a rare single level, 5 bedroom custom estate with a detached guest casita on Del Mar Mesa. This exquisitely designed 5728 SF main residence offers authentic Spanish architectural influences with modern living in mind. Covered patios and outdoor loggias make the easy transition for indoor- outdoor living amongst multiple themed gardens, salt water pool and entertainment decks, and a 576 SF detached guest casita. Sited on 1.3 acres, the home is approached from a covered porch off the circular drive. From the welcoming entry one is greeted with a gracious great room of vaulted ceilings, accented by wooden beams and dramatic fireplace. For the inspired chef and entertainer, the gourmet kitchen with two islands and breakfast nook also offers a prep or "messy" kitchen, hidden from view of the main areas. The nook and family room open to covered loggias and entertainment areas for outdoor dining and BBQ. The family wing offers two en-suite bedrooms balanced on either side of a lounge/study area. The nearby primary retreat has its own sitting area, separated from the bedroom by a dual sided fireplace with French Doors to the covered loggia back gardens. His and her separate closets and baths offer private space with both opening to a shared private outdoor sunning patio with a spa and exterior shower. Considering the evolution of family needs, the main residence offers greater flex space, with an office and additional bedroom to accommodate for mutli-generational living. Outdoor recreation and entertainment is enjoyed year round within the serene parklike grounds. The sparkling pool and spacious decks, and multiple theme gardens with drought tolerant plant material, walking paths for relaxation and replenishment, a hidden firepit, raised vegetable beds and floral cutting gardens are masterfully designed. Conveniently located near the coast, freeways and highly acclaimed schools, Del Mar Mesa boasts a more rural and less congested feel, with the openness of the Penasquitos Reserve and equestrian trails, as well as the adjacent Grand Del Mar Club and Golf Course.
