$8,499,000
An exceptional opportunity within one of Arcadia's most coveted enclaves, this modern European-inspired estate delivers a masterclass in understated luxury--elegant, composed, and entirely without the need to show off. A formal hedge-lined approach and symmetrical façade set the tone, while inside, months of meticulous preparation have resulted in a home where nearly everything has been repaired, replaced, or renewed. In short, the hard work is done--leaving little more than to move in and quietly enjoy the outcome. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home offers refined yet comfortable spaces, a private office, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow through expansive steel-framed windows and doors. The kitchen is further elevated by a temperature-controlled, glass-enclosed wine cellar with capacity for approximately 600 bottles--because one should always be properly prepared.
A detached guest house provides a private retreat for visitors, complete with its own kitchen and living spaces--offering independence for guests and peace for hosts. Outdoors, the estate embraces a true resort lifestyle with a pickleball court and an RV garage cleverly reimagined as an indoor basketball court, alongside a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, and fire feature lounge designed for gatherings that tend to run pleasantly long. Enhanced by a fully integrated smart home system and automated shades, this is a residence that balances timeless architecture with modern ease--polished, inviting, and just the right amount of indulgent.
