Step into a realm where luxury meets serenity, where every detail is meticulously crafted to offer an unparalleled living experience. This is not just a home; it's a masterpiece perched atop Hermosa Hill, a hidden gem known as Poet’s Knoll. Here, at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, lies an 8,390 square foot sanctuary, a testament to architectural brilliance and understated elegance, all set on a generous 9,155 square foot corner lot that commands breathtaking, panoramic ocean views. Imagine a home where star-quality privacy fuses with world-class luxury, where expansive glass doors not only frame the majestic white-water vistas but also blur the lines between the indoors and the vast, vibrant world outside. The heart of this coastal contemporary haven is its open floor plan, where each space flows seamlessly into the next, from the striking kitchen with its crystal white countertops and rich, dark wood cabinets, to the exquisite dining area and the living room that boasts a mesmerizing stacked stone fireplace and wall-to-wall bookcases. Elevate your senses in the primary suite, a sanctuary designed with wide plank white oak floors and barn-door sliding doors, leading to a walk-in closet that echoes the whispers of luxury. The en-suite bathroom, a personal spa retreat, features a freestanding tub and a separate shower, all against the backdrop of soul-stirring helicopter ocean views. Step outside to the backyard, where an elevated stone spa beckons, surrounded by a built-in BBQ and a covered cabana with wrap-around seating - a haven for entertainment or introspection. The lower level unveils a spacious game room, ideal for leisure and laughter, alongside a bonus third garage with floor-to-ceiling windows, currently transformed into a gym.
