The hills are Southern California,the breezes come from the ocean,but this home has a distinct European flavor. As soon as you open the deep red door,with leaded glass inserts,and pass through the arches into the sitting room, it’s easy to imagine yourself in Barcelona. More arches lead to a dining room,library/office, with hardwood floors,and spectacular mountain views. In fact, there isn’t a window in this house that doesn’t frame one or two mountain ranges. An open kitchen/family room boasts restaurant-style Wolf appliances,dark walnut cabinets, and a striking Mediterranean fireplace made of poured concrete. At the top of the winding staircase is another alcove/office, outfitted with built-in shelves, desk and cupboards. The spacious master suite,with its lovely fireplace and two walk-in closets,looks out at another hill dotted with oak trees. The adjoining bath has a large soaking tub,and the view from the huge cut-glass window offers the most stunning scene of all – hills dotted with rocky peaks. A home theater,laundry room,three bedrooms,and two additional full baths complete the second level. A tasteful hand with landscaping is evident in the pool and spa area:graceful olive trees,a pergola bordered by columns, and covered with fragrant flowers. Again, it’s time to fantasize that perhaps you aren’t dreaming, but really having tapas in your villa in the Pyrenees Mountains. If you’re lucky, you won’t have to wake up!
