Sometimes you walk into a home, sense both ageless soul and serenity–and can’t help but smile.

Luxurious EntryWe recently listed such an estate in the beautiful hills of Vista, California. Its current and original owners are a spirited and beautiful international opera singer and her dashing husband, a retired professor of art. With loving attention to detail, it seems nothing was missed in the completion of this luxurious 2003 custom home.Tuscan Dining Room

When I first walked into the home, I was struck by the use of old and rich colors, antique woods, the graceful wood and iron staircase, and light classical music that filled the rooms.

At first glance, I knew this home would be exceptional.

The gated hilltop setting offers both ocean and mountain views–as well as quiet privacy. The home’s flexible 4000+ sf floorplan has volume ceilings that carry classical music well, a grand foyer, large living and music rooms, multiple dining areas, and a kitchen Alice Waters might envy.

Upstairs, we discover a substantial master suite with an adjoining study, large dressing room and bath, Luxury Master Suitespa tub, and large, organized closets. A romantic trellised balcony overlooks both the mountains and ocean horizon, while the two-way fireplace warms both the bedroom and bath areas. Three other large bedrooms and an open bridge complete the upstairs.

The bones of a home may be magnificent, but inspiring beauty comes from surfaces, windows, doors, lighting, amenities, color and textures. I share clients’ enthusiasm when all of these elements come together.

Luxury KitchenThis home lacks nothing and blends all elements well. It has rich Tuscan colors, art niches and unfluted columns. It beautifully blends the use of stone, iron and woods, and offers contemporary conveniences such as central vacuum and a discreet kitchen vent that captures broom sweepings.

Outdoors is a large covered patio, lawn, gardens and small acreage for hobbies, horses or arborists.San Diego Luxury Home

I have often thought that equestrian homeowners in Poway, Rancho Santa Fe and Fallbrook who were displaced by the recent San Diego fires might find this property of interest.

Located on highly-desired Elevado Street in Vista, this estate is reasonably offered at $1.5 million by owners who are anxious to retire in Crete.

We intend to help them accomplish this dream–and look forward to having terrific clients in such a wonderful corner of the world.

A beautiful home.  I have to agree to the idea of reasonably priced unlike some other comments, but then I'm in Orange County.
