Gracefully set beyond the Canyons 12th green and fairway, this Santa Barbara-style estate welcomes you through electric entry gates into a generous motor court surrounded by cantera stone accents, custom water features, and lush meticulous gardens. Sprawling across nearly an acre, this romantic setting leads to double glass doors with custom metalwork, opening into a stunning living room with travertine floors, masonry fireplace, elegant furnishings, and seamless access to outdoor living spaces. An intimate wet bar with wine cooler, refrigerator, icemaker, and custom cabinetry is easily accessed by both the living and dining areas. The dining room is designed for both intimate gatherings and larger parties, featuring a warm wood table and seating, beveled mirror, and chandelier, with convenient flow to the kitchen and outdoor spaces.
