Auction style bidding - previously listed at $6,390,000 | Estimated replacement cost - $7,500,000 | Minimum opening bid is $2,995,000 This spectacular, private, and immaculate 22,000-square-foot gated estate on more than 1 acre in Friendly Hills was meticulously completed with no expense spared in 2012 using only the finest quality craftsmanship including custom wood and stone work, Venetian plaster from the Middle East and exquisite materials hand selected from around the world. This is the ultimate compound for an extended or multi-generational family seeking luxury living at its finest. The gated, circular limestone driveway leads guests to a breathtaking foyer with a slab marble staircase, custom ironwork, and a $250K Crystal Asfour chandelier imported from Egypt.
Impeccable, hand selected 24-inch Crema Marfil marble floors from Spain lead you to an amazing gourmet kitchen with a 60-inch, side-by-side Sub Zero refrigerator, Thermador appliances, and Brazilian granite with $150K invested in custom Douglas Fir cabinetry and mill work. More than $250K was invested in the custom millwork and creation of a luxurious 620-square-foot private office with a fireplace, hand carved mantle, and wet bar.
The upper levels offer two beautiful master suites with hand-carved fireplaces, exquisite chandeliers, and opulent master bathrooms of Brazilian granite and Carrara marble. Massive formal dining, living, and family rooms created for large gatherings are further complimented by a 14-seat theater with electric reclining chairs, a wine cellar, gym, and enormous game room. All bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms with spa tubs, dual walk-in closets, and carpet imported from Manchester.
Over $900K was spent creating the ultimate resort-style backyard with a shimmering courtyard fountain, columns imported from Palestine, and a massive barbecue area that gives way to a solar-heated pool, spa, fire pit, waterfall, and sport court for ultimate outdoor entertaining of up to 250 guests. There is a separate pool bath with a shower in addition to 3 powder rooms in the home. Additional investments include $750K in custom stonework and $220K interior-exterior ironwork and fencing. Other features include a sound and security system with 22-camera surveillance, fire sprinklers, smart home technology, 13-zone temperature control, 3-phase electrical, 4 fireplaces with hand-carved mantels, custom silk or velvet window coverings, abundant fruit trees, and a vegetable garden.
