Experience the perfect blend of cutting-edge design, high-tech convenience, and laid-back coastal living in this stunning 3,600-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home (plus office) set on nearly acre in coveted Bel Air Knolls. Thoughtfully reimagined just over a year ago, the home underwent an extensive renovation and has since been further enhanced with thoughtful upgrades, including a custom-designed outdoor firepit, spa tub, extensive drainage, new landscaping, and more. Bold, high-contrast surfaces pair with white oak and plaster to create a striking approach to warm minimalism. Meanwhile, features like 8-zone surround sound, solar power, interior fire sprinklers, a hardwired alarm and camera system, and 4-zone heating/cooling blend practicality with sleek, modern design. The living room evokes the scale and drama of a contemporary gallery, with soaring ceilings, expansive walls for art, and La Cantina nano doors that fully open to reveal mountain views and an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper, featuring white oak cabinetry, an 11-foot island, an 8-burner Wolf range, and a hidden butler's pantry with a full kitchen for elevated entertaining. A custom bar, dual fireplaces, and a climate-controlled wine cellar make the space perfect for hosting in style. All bedrooms are ensuite, the primary of which features a soaking tub, oversized shower, and a white oak walk-in closet behind arched iron doors - in addition to views and direct access to a bespoke cedar-sided hot tub. Outside, the reimagined landscape includes an outdoor kitchen, putting green, lounge area with a plaster fireplace, antique limestone fountains, and mature olive trees - all set against breathtaking city views. Just moments from Hendry's Beach and Elings Park, "Casa Bella Vista" blends dynamic design with effortless California living, perfectly positioned in the heart of it all.
