Description:

This elegant residence is a one of a kind property that rarely presents itself on the open market. Situated on a triple size lot, 101 Cortes boasts 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ bathrooms and many extra entertaining or lounging rooms. The entry is outstanding with a gorgeous beveled glass front door, spacious formal foyer and beautiful staircase that has lighted niches for art work. The FORMAL LIVING ROOM to your left is elegant with large wall areas enhanced by lighting for the finest art. The windows, with custom bamboo shades enhancing the elegance, are of a large scale and bring the beautiful tree lined street and gardens into view. The windows are all new (four years old) and replicas of the original Edwardian windows. This is true throughout the house. The living room has a wood burning fireplace with original marble façade that is enhanced by a stunning wood mantel. Impressive in scale the mantel and fireplace fit this large formal Edwardian living room.

To the right of the entry is the FORMAL DINING ROOM. Also large, the dining room can accommodate a large dining room set. Beautiful sliding doors separate the formal dining room from a SUNROOM/BREAKFAST ROOM. This elegant room has built-in bench seating with custom made cushions. The bench seating also conveniently opens for storage. The center of the floor has original black and white tiles surrounded by limestone that are most definitely a focal point of this enchanting room. Custom made bamboo shades adorn the windows of this room as well.

The newly renovated state of the art DESIGNER KITCHEN is conveniently located at the entrance to all three entertaining rooms. A chef’s delight the kitchen offers a large center aisle work area that includes its own sink. Cherry wood cabinets, limestone floors and granite counters are just a few of the beautiful features the kitchen has to offer. Overlooking the spacious garden and landscaped yard, the kitchen also features 2 dishwashers (Bosch and Fisher-Paykel), a warming oven, a Viking gas range, a second sink (double), wine cooler, a Subzero refrigerator, and a trash compactor. There also is an adjacent pantry and storage bin that completes this outstanding and glorious kitchen!

An OFFICE with built-in bookcases is quite impressive. It features limestone floors and can possibly be used as a FIFTH BEDROOM OR MAID’S QUARTERS. A designer ½ BATH is adjacent to the office. Completing the main level is a GRAND FAMILY ROOM that is new construction (4 years old) and has French doors that lead to the outside area. A plus in any home, this room is ideal for family gatherings and everyday living. A fireplace with custom screen is a beautiful focal point of this great room.

Upstairs features FOUR BEDROOMS, a STUDY, THREE FULL BATHS and a LAUNDRY ROOM. The MASTER SUITE is incredible with an expansive MASTER BATH with limestone flooring, tub and separate shower. The bath also features two separate his/her sinks and an incredible fireplace that is in the wall, and faces both the bath and the master bedroom. A large his/her walk-in closet with beautiful built-in cabinet is a definite plus. There is a WALK-OUT DECK/VERANDA with slate flooring and glass wind barriers that features views of Twin Peaks, and the ocean. This is an incredible feature for this magnificent Master Suite. Beautiful plantations shutters accent the décor.

TWO BEDROOMS share a JACK AND JILL BATH. Both are a good size and have great closet space. On an adjacent level of the house (new 4 year old construction) is a GUEST BEDROOM with plantation shutter window coverings and a FULL BATHROOM. There is a STUDY overlooking the garden and a LAUNDRY ROOM with washer and dryer also on this level.

The LANDSCAPED GARDEN AND YARD is probably the most expansive and impressive you will see in the area. It features beautiful manicured lawn areas, a BASKETBALL AREA, a STONE PATIO WITH AN OUTSTANDING FIREPLACE and built-in barbeque, two ponds and adjacent room that is currently used as an EXERCISE STUDIO. The basement level of the house features storage, and a beautiful temperature controlled WINE CELLAR. A separate garage completes this gorgeous property.
