Proche de la mer, imagine waking everyday to jetliner views with ocean breezes whispering through your private mountaintop oasis at 791 Nyes Place. Nestled in the coveted Portofino enclave of Laguna Village, known for its exclusivity and views...where clean air is standard. This Regal home is themed after exotic estates along the French Riviera, fully reimagined in 2008 with no expense spared. Featuring recent updates that make it a move-in-ready offering, this bespoke labor of love showcases artisan craftsmanship throughout with many timeless materials imported from Europe like 300-year-old French tiles. It's built to stand the test of time. Outside, the ambient lit trellised patio creates magical evenings set against a backdrop of mountain, canyon, and white water vistas while the inspirational front row view setting ensures every gathering has a wow-factor. It's your moment to own a slice of Southern California paradise. Upon arrival, step behind the walled and gated perimeter and enter through majestic mahogany double doors. The grand foyer welcomes you with soaring double-height ceilings, hand-hewn wood beams and elegant accent lighting. The living room, anchored by a striking fireplace, flows seamlessly through two sets of French doors to a serene courtyard with trickling fountain. The formal dining room and wet bar complete with wine cooler spill onto a fire-pit-centered patio where stunning vistas steal the show. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring marble countertops, custom cabinetry and built-ins, a sociable island and starring top-tier appliances that include a focal point La Cornue range, Sub-Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher, and Viking microwave. The adjacent open-flow family room invites seamless gatherings with sweeping mountain-to-ocean panoramas accessed through a wall of glass. A guest bath with shower and floating stone sink abut the direct-access 2-car garage with extra storage rounding out the main level. Venture up the staircase with a hand-crafted wrought iron railing as your guide, the character and charm continues with a primary suite that becomes your personal haven; an expansive walk-in closet with skylight, which adjoins a spa-inspired bath featuring marble and tile accents, a deep soaking vintage clawfoot tub, separate water closet and an oversized glass wrapped multi-head shower space. Two additional bedrooms offer ensuite baths with pedestal sinks and a clawfoot tub. The media room could easily become a formal fourth bedroom, at will. Closing out the upper level is a conveniently located laundry room with storage space for overflow and rooftop access via drop-down staircase that delivers 360-degree views. Hardwood floors, French brick tiles, rustic wood and stone accents, designer lighting, ceiling fans, and skylights elevate and illuminate every corner of this abode.
