If these walls could talk, they would speak of the fact that this estate was built by a US ambassador to Italy as a summer home for he and his family with many materials imported from Italy. They'd mention the famous houseguests, upscale fundraisers, and political gatherings that have taken place here. Upon driving down the private road to the estate's gate, you'll be transported to Tuscany from the moment you pull in. Unlike anything else in the upscale town of Rancho Santa Fe, this home's historic architecture is met with modern features from a head-to-toe renovation over the last two years. SEE SUPPLEMENT...The residence will captivate you with its custom moulding, extra wide French Oak flooring that rolls seamlessly into light wash stone, glamorous light fixtures, and French doors that allow you to stroll in and out of the villa to enjoy the picturesque 3+ acre grounds. The sophisticated kitchen is equipped with Officine Gullo cabinets that were custom-made and shipped from Italy, along with high-performance Gaggenau appliances that include an oven with gas range, double wall ovens, refrigerator, rotisserie, wine fridge, warming drawer, and more. Custom Venetian plaster for the backsplash and fireplace in the family room adds elements of depth to the light surroundings. The main home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, living room, a family room, an office, a yoga room with a sauna, an eat-in kitchen, a breakfast nook, and a picturesque dining room. Tucked downstairs of the main house is a tasting room with 4000+ bottle wine storage room, small kitchen and bunker. The first of the two guest houses offer 2 bedrooms with baths, full kitchen, living and dining rooms, while the second offers one bedroom plus bath, kitchen, living and dining room. The grounds are anchored by the pool that is surrounded by grass, with stepping stones that lead you to the tree-lined tennis court for an afternoon of play. The yoga room offers an outdoor sitting area with water feature and spa. This estate truly has it all, including privacy and tranquility.
