Presenting Villa Monteverde – A timeless blend of Italian elegance and California luxury. Set behind wrought iron gates and framed by mature imported date palms, this extraordinary estate evokes the pages of Architectural Digest. Throughout the property, imported stone elements define the architecture from the grand facade to the tranquil courtyard anchored by an imported Italian fountain and a water feature brought directly from Italy. The landscape is a masterpiece in itself, with petrified wood, flowing fountains, a private orchard, and a stream meandering peacefully through the grounds. Inside, the estate showcases imported Italian materials and masterful craftsmanship at every turn. Venetian plaster walls, imported limestone accents, floors of polished Crema Marfil marble, and hand-scraped walnut wood infuse the home with timeless warmth and sophistication. Several wood-burning fireplaces throughout the estate add ambiance and old-world charm. Groin-vaulted corridors lead to a hand-carved wood ceiling, while grand chandeliers crafted of real crystal descend dramatically at the touch of a button.At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, a brick-inlaid ceiling, SubZero and Wolf appliances, and striking countertops made from imported Blue Brazilian granite.
