Inside a $20,000,000 Mediterranean Home with Beautiful Canyon Views

Hi Luxury Home Show, I'm Cindy Ambul and welcome to this romantic Thomas Proctor original in beautiful Lower Riviera. Can't wait to show you. When you have a home like this, you don't really want to leave. So what you need is a phenomenal office right here in your residence. Here we go. Entertaining in this dining room? Oh, it's a dream. Your guests can be indoors, outdoors, walking around, sipping mimosas. Wait, I'm on to something. Let's get mimosas. Your outdoor fireplace with your arches, more olive trees, and then you look out over to the southwest where you're going to have sunlight coming all day long. I think I'm just going to stand here and enjoy the view. One of the things I really admire about a Thomas Proctor home is his use of space and privacy and customization. So this timeless California Mediterranean has this courtyard that you can also enjoy while maintaining your privacy. You have doors that go from every room in the house that enter out to the courtyard or out to the beautiful backyard that we'll show you. Gorgeous vines growing up the house and at night all the twinkling lights come on. So you have this seamless indoor-outdoor feel that you can enjoy both day in and day out. Behind this door, you have the front yard which also maintains a ton of privacy, has a gorgeous driveway, courtyard, three-car garage before you even enter your secondary door and into this beautiful courtyard. It's rare to see this. So come on, let's go inside. As I mentioned, this floor plan seamlessly allows you to live indoors and outdoors. So with the Thomas Proctor design, look at these ceilings and the archways. They make you feel like you're transported back in time to an old world Mediterranean. Coming into your long hallway, the home is divided into your formal space and your casual space. So going into this side of the house, you have the formal living room, back staircase, a formal office study, but I'm going to show you that last. Come with me into the formal living room. Entering the formal living room, it's framed with solid pieces of stone. Step down into the solid oak flooring, fireplace, the coffered ceiling with incredible wood detail. You have windows on every room. I would turn a fire on. I would cozy up in this room. I would love to entertain guests in this room and maybe even put a Christmas tree right there. What do you think? When you have a home like this, you don't really want to leave. So what you need is a phenomenal office right here in your residence. Here we go. Double doors lead you into this circular office study with four separate doors on every wall. And if you have to have people come in to work with you from your office, they can come right in here. They can come in the courtyard and come in here. They don't even have to go into the main house. And right here on this side of the house, you have one powder right off the office, as well as the back staircase. I love a home with two staircases, don't you? Entertaining in this dining room, oh, it's a dream. Look at the size of this room. You have double doors, beautiful windows, opens out to a fountain, opens out to the courtyard. Your guests can be indoors, outdoors, walking around, sipping mimosas. Wait, I wanted something. Let's get mimosas. Sounds really good. So straight through your formal dining room, you have two different entrances that take you into your everyday cozy family room. Look at this room, opens to the outside, windows and doors for access in on every wall. And then you have your fireplace as well. Look at the wood ceiling detail. So what they've done, Thomas Proctor is brilliant at this. He's taken this room that opens out to the yard, opens out to the view, but he's made it feel very intimate by putting the beautiful walnut wood ceiling. You just feel very cozy in this TV room. Who doesn't love an oversized kitchen in kitchen dining and a fireplace? Come on, look at this. You've got two sinks, three ovens, stove top, and the windows right above the sink that open to the outdoor. So if you're entertaining and you're serving straight through, you can. Thomas Proctor is so smart about imagining, if he was living in the house, what he would want. So straight off of that oversized kitchen and in kitchen dining, you look out to the oversized pool and olive trees and out to the view. So you can be in the kitchen, entertaining and dining while watching your kids and family play in the pool. It's just the perfect connection again, between indoor and outdoor living, which is what we want in Southern California. So while you have your oversized pool, your above ground jacuzzi, which is just a beautiful focal point, all the outdoor dining and the loggia, you also step down to this huge grass yard. You have a beautiful flat grass yard that looks back up over the back of the house, your outdoor fireplace with your arches, more olive trees. And then you look out over to the Southwest where you're going to have sunlight coming all day long. I think I'm just going to stand here and enjoy the view. Whether it's the weekend lounging, whether it's every evening after dinner, sitting out here in this covered loggia with the Thomas Proctor arches, looking out to the view. Again, you have the ocean right here, so you're getting that ocean breeze up the canyon every single day. You can sit down, you can relax, turn on a fire, have a drink. I'd probably have a game on. I like football. The idea, the design of this home is really to transport you to days gone by. This is an extremely romantic home that makes you feel like you're somewhere else. It's a very old world, yet it has all of the beautiful amenities that you need today. With five bedrooms up, you can do whatever you want with them. We've decided to create a gem out of this large room that also opens up to an oversized balcony looking out over the view, the orange trees, olive trees. I mean, this would be inspiring to actually work out. You also have laundry, and then you have all of these other bedrooms, one by one, lining the hall. Oversized bedrooms, each one with their own balcony, looking out over the canyon, heading towards the ocean. Built-in bookshelves, another beautiful bedroom, opening with a little Juliet balcony. I mean, where are we? Look at this hallway. What a dramatic entrance to the primary. The entire hall opens to multiple doors, Juliet balconies, and to your private courtyard. Coming into the primary, you have a beautiful secluded little bathroom, again with its own door that goes out to another Juliet balcony, looking out over that view. Not only does the primary offer that beautiful romantic bathroom, but for me, I love the fact that it's got two closets, big huge walk-in closet on both sides. This is insane. You also have your primary sitting area, opening up to your covered patio for beautiful nights, sitting out here watching the sun go down. The sun sets literally right over that hill. What's lost in a lot of homes these days is the detail that this home has. Again, Thomas Proctor. Look at the detail of the raised ceilings. Every room is special, especially this primary, with the contrast of all of the windows, the wood floor, the white vaulted ceiling, and of course, I'm looking out right now to what appears to be a painting, but it's my view. It's really hard to find a home that has this level of luxury, but also has charm, and it has character, and it has soul, and that's what this home has. Bye, Luxury Home Show.
