Designed by renowned OC architect Christopher Brandon and built by local legend Chris Gallo, this dream team custom beauty is a mid-century modern Corona del Mar Landmark. But here's the best part - it's not open to the public, it's in fact available as your own luxury private hideaway. The approach starts right as you enter, a wooden architectural sculpture trellis and a right-angled pathway of cedar posts line the walkway from the entry gate to the front door. It also shades the afternoon sun coming into the great room. At dusk, LED lights inserts in the overhanging trellis cast a serene sense of home over the courtyard area.Upstairs is the primary living area, where we enjoy as much natural light as possible. Ceiling heights extend to almost 10 feet. In the kitchen, a quartz-topped island anchors an expansive luxurious open space equipped with Thermador, Sub-Zero, and Miele professional-grade appliances. A private and spacious pantry provides extra space to prep and clean out of view of your guests. The open plan living area opens onto the great room. It is flanked by a quiet and private outdoor patio on one side, and the pool courtyard on the other, creating two independent, but equally tranquil, distinct outdoor experiences. Fleetwood disappearing glass walls on both sides of the space make the main-floor living space feel more expansive. Have dinner in the patio and see through the great room, over the pool and all the way to the pool room or extra bedroom. The master suite includes dual walk-in closets. Downstairs boasts two bedroom suites, a theater room, a climate controlled 500 bottle wine room, a kitchenette/wet bar, and 3 car garage access. Perfect for guests, winding down, or family time with the kids. Waterfalls in the saltwater pool provide visual and auditory stimulation and the raised spa give the pool area a larger resort style feel. The current residents also upgraded the space by adding a brand new (taller) privacy hedge, a fire pit, and a retractable awning for a perfectly comfortable outdoor experience at all hours of the day. This unique home is a must see.Irvine Terrace's inventory includes some original homes which are being remodeled. However, todays land and building costs, supply chain issues, and delays means that a home like this could cost twice as much to build and take over four years. Why wait? This 2018 flawlessly built architectural landmark can be yours today and is ready for you to move in.
