Rarely does timeless elegance merge so effortlessly with modern luxury as in this iconic 1923 Spanish Hacienda Estate--- once part of historic Rancho Mission and owned by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

At its heart, a resort-style pool evokes the magic of old Hollywood. *** The single-level hacienda, centered around a serene courtyard, celebrates the indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Inside, warm architectural details and expansive spaces create an inviting setting for both grand entertaining and relaxed living. A full-wall fireplace with bold brick design anchors the grand living room, enhanced by beamed and paneled ceilings and classic French doors that flood the space with light and sunning views of the grounds. *** The oversized dining room opens to the inner courtyard, while the newly remodeled chef's kitchen is a showstopper anchored by a stunning 16-foot Calacutta marble island, matching marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and top-tier appliances, including a Viking 8-burner range with double ovens, 2 dishwashers, triple basin Franke Stainless Steel sink, and an array of countless premium upgrades. Framed by floor-to-ceiling steel French doors, the room offers breathtaking views of the grassy courtyard and sparkling pool. *** The expansive primary suite is a serene retreat with a brick-arched fireplace, spa bath, sitting room, and private office. A colonnade leads to three oversized ensuite bedrooms, a fourth bedroom or library, a private office/gym, and oversized full media room overlooking the inner courtyard. *** Step outside and experience the vast, simply unmatched grounds--- like having your very own private park! From charming alfresco dining areas and multiple patios ideal for lounging or entertaining, to a sprawling Great Lawn that effortlessly accommodates everything from playful afternoons to the grandest of holiday gatherings and timeless celebrations. The show-stopping pool, nestled under 19 swaying palms, evokes classic Beverly Hills glamour. An impressive guest house with its own courtyard and yard completes the retreat and offers endless expansion possibilities. *** Secreted away, this extraordinary timeless estate stands as one of the area's most exceptional and rare offerings.
