Just imagine; driving through the 1st neighborhood of Westlake Village,following the streets to the sweetest cul-de-sac,then stopping at the home with the huge arched doorway,two birch trees on either side of the brick pathway. Then imagine; a property where most of the rooms look out to a center courtyard,a courtyard brimming with surprises: hand-laid brick pavers,an old Spanish fountain embedded with hundreds of hand-painted tiles,a charming swing under a pergola,an outdoor kitchen custom designed with more stunning tile work. No,you are not in Barcelona; yes,you are in Westlake Village,about to be dazzled with an array of unique features that make up one of the most picturesque properties in a neighborhood already known for its scenic homes. To highlight just a few: the kitchen,completely renovated to satisfy the most ardent chef,with 6-burner Wolf range,stainless steel counters and farm sink,Bosch dishwasher,and Sub-Zero fridge; yet still retaining the flavor of this hacienda,with its brick-archway,barn doors concealing the pantry,and custom open-beamed ceilings. The adjacent family room,with its fireplace and soft-grey molding looks out to the courtyard,through French doors.
The master bedroom also has French doors leading to the courtyard,and the ensuite bath is a work of art,with its claw foot tub,custom shower,vanity,and intricate crown molding. Three guest bedrooms share a large bath,which also opens to the lap pool and spa. Each guest room is striking,with one walled in oak,perfect for a library,another with book shelves lining the tops of three walls. The formal dining room is reached by an exquisite iron gate,which is a hint of what follows: oak ceiling,and French doors leading to the courtyard. The living room features vaulted,open-beamed ceilings,another fireplace,and a stunning arched window facing a wall of bougainvillea. To truly understand the attention to detail in this superb home,walk into the garage,with its three walls of custom cabinetry and oriental rugs lining the immaculate floor! Finally,imagine getting the keys to this treasure and being able to say: “Mi casa, mi tesoro”!
