From a rooftop deck, where entertaining is complemented by a built-in BBQ bar with ice maker and Hestan refrigerator, panoramic views embrace southern Orange County’s rolling hills, dramatic coastline and shimmering evening lights. Natural light illuminates interior spaces as well, including a phenomenal rotunda-style foyer with double-height ceiling, sparkling chandelier, clerestory windows and a circular staircase leading to upper and lower floors. A formal living room displays an elegant fireplace and French doors opening to a front terrace, and limestone and wood floors are featured throughout.
