About this home

A rare expression of modern luxury and thoughtful design, this extraordinary estate was completely reimagined for a renowned composer, blending sophisticated style with exceptional functionality. Privately gated, the residence opens to an expansive driveway designed for both privacy and grand arrivals. Every detail has been curated to create a home equally suited for entertaining and everyday living. The interiors showcase a striking black-and-white aesthetic with clean architectural lines, designer fixtures, and elevated hardware throughout, including distinctive Buster + Punch appointments. A dramatic entry leads to the formal living room with a beautiful fireplace, while refined lighting adds warmth and ambiance throughout. At the heart of the home, an expansive family and great room flow seamlessly from the gourmet kitchen, ideal for both intimate living and large gatherings. The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, an oversized refrigerator, built-in coffee maker, and a dedicated coffee station with seating. A stunning quartz island anchors the space, while integrated sound and programmable lighting enhance the home’s atmosphere. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private balcony overlooking tranquil, resort-style grounds. A spacious main-level suite provides flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Additional bedrooms and en-suite baths have been thoughtfully upgraded with high-end finishes and timeless design. Outdoors, the estate becomes an entertainer’s paradise with a resort-style pool and spa, lush landscaping, custom lighting, covered patio, built-in barbecue, and multiple seating areas. Faux turf and a private sports court complete the experience. Additional upgrades include a new concrete Mediterranean roof, owned solar system, and battery backup, reflecting a no-expense-spared approach to quality and design. A residence of modern glamour and resort-caliber amenities, created for inspired living and unforgettable entertaining.
