VILLA LUSS O a n oa s i s of l ux u r y.
Completed in 2011, Villa Lusso is a quintessential five-acre Gold Coast estate with a spectacular eight-bedroom residence that is a stunning interpretation of Mediterranean architecture. This property has a resort-style beauty and aesthetic with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. It is an oasis of luxury and refinement accomplished through artful design, the finest materials and workmanship and a delightful, meticulously maintained setting. Wrought iron gates open to a garden-lined allee with manicured hedges and flowering trees. The drive unfolds to reveal open views of the magnificent residence surrounded by lush green lawns, flower beds and specimen trees. The forecourt, with plantings in the shape of a heart, beautifully complements the home and welcomes visitors for arrival. The magnificent façade is composed of handsome columns, arched openings and a red barrel-tiled roof with various elevations that add interest to the home’s composition. Oversized custom Unilux windows and doors bathe the interiors in natural light. Mahogany double entry doors open into this impressive home.
Like a sculptural masterpiece on a grand scale, the open floor plan is enhanced by double height ceilings with undulating layered details. Two curved floating staircases with iron balustrades gracefully rise to arrive at separate wings of the home. Columns support the stairs and are integrated into the open design plan. Running throughout the principal spaces, polished Jerusalem Gold marble with radiant heat provides beauty and comfort year-round.
Emphasis is on symmetry, height and scale. Principal areas are oriented to the rear of the home. They overlook a sparkling turquoise blue swimming pool that features a Baja shelf, spa and an expansive stone patio surround – a palette reminiscent of the sands and waters of the Mediterranean Sea. At the center of the open floor plan, a striking double height grand salon with clerestory windows is flanked by a sitting room and a formal dining area. The sitting room has a gas lit fireplace, entertainment bar and a mahogany coffered ceiling detail that adds warmth to the design. The gracious formal dining room is ready for elegant gatherings and celebrations. Glass-paned French doors seamlessly provide views and access to the entertainer’s patio, pool and lush gardens beyond.
The kitchen features custom walnut cabinetry, stone topped counters, a glass tile backsplash and top-of-the-line appliances. There is a large prep island with a sink, storage and seating. An informal eating area features curved floor-to-ceiling frameless windows and access to the patio. Floors are Jerusalem Gold marble with radiant heat. There is an intimate family room with a gas fireplace, arch topped casement windows and a mahogany wood floor. In the north wing, there is a guest bedroom with an en suite bath and an attractive office that overlooks the front courtyard.
Located at the opposite south wing, the master suite is a sumptuous retreat. It has a tray ceiling, a mahogany floor and a separate exercise room with access to the sparkling pool. There are two large custom dressing closets. The luxurious marble master bath features a deep soaking tub nestled within a semi-circular alcove, an open rainfall shower, two vanities with sinks and in-floor radiant heat.
The second level north wing has a wonderful semi-circular sitting room with built-in seating under five tall casement windows overlooking the front courtyard. There is a second master suite that features a curved balcony with panoramic garden views, a sitting room and an en suite bath that features a jetted tub and rainfall shower. There are two additional restful bedrooms each with en suite baths. At the opposite south wing second level, an intimate sitting area with a balcony overlooks the pool, and a spacious bedroom has a luxurious en suite bath. The lower level of the home boasts climate-controlled wine storage, a large game room, a theatre engineered for sound with suede walls and luxurious leather seats, an entertainer’s kitchen, a laundry room with built-in cabinetry, a powder room and two bedrooms with en suite baths. This estate features a full house generator, a sophisticated security system and an indoor/outdoor audio system. A hard surface tennis court is incorporated into a verdant sunken garden with manicured hedges and lovely flowering perennials. Landscape lighting highlights the residence and lush gardens at night.
