Tucked behind the gates of the exclusive Dos Puertas enclave, this estate is a rare architectural gem that blends timeless Mediterranean elegance with modern luxury. Spanning 6,811 square feet on a 10,947 square feet lot, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence is a soulful retreat that showcases impeccable craftsmanship and serene living in the heart of Arcadia.
Hand-carved double doors open into an interior that evokes the warmth of a Mediterranean villa. A sweeping curved staircase with Mexican tile risers and ornate ironwork sets a dramatic tone, guiding homeowners into a world of artisanal detail and textures.
A Living Space Steeped in Artistry
Arched picture windows, plaster walls, and gleaming Saltillo tile floors create a sense of luxury. The grand salon stuns with 20-foot ceilings, soaring leaded glass windows that frame lush garden and Camelback Mountain views, and a commanding Cantera stone fireplace. Wooden corbels, exposed beams, and intricate plasterwork add layers of texture, making this space perfect for entertaining or reflection.
A Sanctuary of Comfort and Style
The primary suite is a private escape on the main level, hidden behind hand-carved doors. Moroccan-inspired screens, colorful Portuguese and Mexican tiles, a cozy sunroom, and a charming corner fireplace create an intimate haven.
The en-suite bathroom comes complete with dual walk-in closets, a walk-in shower, sunken tub, Peacock blue cabinetry, and walls of glass that open to the garden.
Thoughtful Layout and Elevated Design
Upstairs, three en-suite bedrooms offer privacy and flexibility perfect for family or guests. One is currently styled as a home office, while a cozy family room and a striking interior galleria overlooking the grand salon below create architectural flow.
A second-floor balcony offers views of the mosaic-tiled pool and landscaping, ideal for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
Culinary Charm and Dining Delight
The kitchen is a warm, inviting space that blends function with artistry. Hand-carved cabinetry featuring dove and floral motifs, Talavera tile countertops and backsplash, a butcher block island, and a copper hood reflect the home’s old-world charm.
