DOLCE FAR NIENTE

Majestic whitewater ocean views stretch to the horizon from this luxurious Italian villa in Solana Beach, where a private homesite, exquisite attention to detail and an array of preferred appointments are enjoyed. From its bluff-top vantage point, the estate overlooks Seaside Beach—a favorite spot for surfers—Coast Highway and the gorgeous coastline. Private gates introduce the residence, which presents three bedrooms, and three full and two half baths in approximately 4,250 square feet. Stone walls, archways, custom paint, vaulted and beamed ceilings, and a blend of wood, heated stone and carpet flooring surfaces combine to embellish the home’s upscale Italian influences. The sounds and scents of the ocean fill the light and open design, hand-set mosaic tile enhances the entry, and the fireplace-warmed living room opens to a gourmet kitchen. Amateur or professional, chefs will appreciate a grand space that showcases custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island, copper sink, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas range with griddle and two ovens.
