Furnished Long Term Rental. Elegant Tuscan villa has been exquisitely designed and inspired by Tuscan master craftsman. Each exterior stone was hand selected from the stone yard and then custom stained to replicate an authentic "Old World" Tuscan villa facade. The unique exterior stucco is a custom color mix of olive green with Monterey finish.
The interior tastefully blends Mediterranean-style furnishings and accessories with state-of-art technology. The entrance opens onto a light-filled two-story foyer featuring a grand circular staircase and a formal living area elegantly furnished with pieces echoing the Firenze style and a stone fireplace with a carved mahogany mantlepiece. Mahogany French doors open onto the front yard balcony overlooking the beautiful edible landscape. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room. The exquisite dining table has inlaid deep mahogany veneers with tressel barley twisted legs and features expanded seating for eight and is paired with a matching china cabinet and server. The finishing touch in this room is the coffered ceiling of pecan/walnut paneling. This area of the main floor also includes an in-home office or extra bedroom with built-in cabinets and drawers, closet and an attached full bathroom.
Moving into the great room towards the rear of the villa, you will find a luxe gourmet kitchen and family room. The gourmet kitchen is complete with distinctive hand crafted cabinetry, professional stainless steel Viking stove with griddle and Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, expansive granite island, walk-in pantry and breakfast bar seating. There is also an informal dining set for four with beveled glass top and rustic iron base. The family room includes sectional seating, a flat screen television and stone fireplace with a carved mahogany mantlepiece. Off the kitchen there is a double set of mahogany French doors that open to a cobblestone courtyard surrounded by Italian inspired edible gardens. Al fresco dining is made easy with a Mugnaini wood burning pizza oven, built-in Viking BBQ and infrared searing elements plus two counter-top burners. There is outdoor lounge area, fountain, surround sound system and lighting to set the evening's mood. There is a formal dining area with a reclaimed wood side board, farmer's table and chairs that seats up to six people.
The winding staircase takes you to the upper level and elegant master suite with romantic fireplace, surround sound system, and California king sized bed with flat screen TV. Walk-in closet has built-in shelving and drawers for all your fine apparel. The master bath features a large Jacuzzi tub, spa shower, double sinks and 'sit-down' make-up area. Also on this level are two additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a full laundry room with Duet front-loading washer and dryer, sink, folding area, and storage.
The staircase leads you down to the lower level where you will find an entertainment center. The foyer on this level features tumbled marble tile floors and a wine-tasting table where your guests can sample from your Italian-inspired wine room. The wine room features fine cabinetry that stores up to 400 bottles in a temperature-controlled environment. Just adjacent to the wine room is a spectacular screening room featuring elements that will thrill the audio and videophile: a 155" screen and a Cinemascope 1080 HD projection system, comfortable seating for 16 and state-of-art surround-sound system easily operated by one single control. Ambient lighting in the ceiling and rope lighting in the seating area add to the authentic theatre experience. Adding to the fun, there is a concession area including popcorn cart, refrigerator, and wet bar. Just beyond the theater is a video game room with two surround-sound gaming chairs and wall-mounted HD TV. A light-filled teen/guest/nanny bedroom which includes a built-in desk and full bathroom can also be found on this level.
All lighting, climate, media & surveillance systems are controllable and adjustable from any of the easy-to-use touch screens located throughout the villa. A three-car garage with two points of entry is finished with a custom "cellar door" style wooden garage door. Garage floor redone with an epoxy coating in a "Sandstone" finish for beauty, ease of care and cleanliness. A small ‘gym' is located in the back of the garage featuring an elliptical machine, weight bench and multi-use Schwin workout system.
Triple zoned central A/C.
The Gardens
This edible landscape was designed and is maintained by Home Grown Edible Landscapes whose gardens can be seen at mar'sel restaurant at Terranea Resort, Four Daughter's Kitchen, Elegance Spa, Reaney Design Company, Post & Beam and countless estates throughout the Beach Cities, Palos Verdes, Beverly Hills, Hancock Park and the Hollywood Hills.
The essence of its summer garden is meant to reflect the earthy, rustic feeling of a Tuscan hillside. Many of the summer edibles included in the property's garden spaces are three varieties of grapes (Chardonnay, Cabernet and red table), artichokes, heirloom tomatoes, blueberries, corn, pumpkin, watermelon, cucumber, peppers, cabbages, eggplant, lemons, herbs and a heritage olive tree. The garden is transformed as the summer fades to fall to reflect the best of the cool season produce like Winterbor and Tuscan Kale, Romanesco cauliflower, winter red cabbage, leeks, peas, lettuces, fennel to name a few. No need to visit the farmers market!
The perfect addition to any gourmet's artisan pasta sauce or ragout is within just a few steps of the front or back doors. In the early spring, the front yard is carpeted with red Firenze poppies that are reminiscent of the hills outside of Florence, Italy. Sit on the balcony at dusk, sip some wine and enjoy the sounds of the fountain and wind chimes as you imagine yourself in the courtyard of a Tuscan villa.
