completes the trio of entertaining spaces, offering those
who work at home privacy during the day while they also
monitor the comings and goings of the household with-
out seeming to hover.
e majority of this home's day-to-day life will
focus on the family room, the kitchen and the secluded,
resort-inspired backyard with its luxuriant landscaping,
sleek pool and central spa. e large kitchen, with its
double islands, can certainly welcome the services of a
professional chef, hired for an evening of gourmet catering
when dishes will be whisked swiftly through the butler's
pantry to guests in the dining room. But with its eat-in
breakfast area open to the backyard, it will also see heavy
daily use as a breakfast and dinner area. e family room,
which also opens to the backyard, is expertly separated
from the kitchen. With its fireplace and separate bar area,
it's the spot for hosting family movie nights, board game
marathons or afternoon siestas.
Upstairs, in addition to the office, one finds three of
the home's five en-suite bedrooms, one with a bonus room.
(Two other en-suite bedrooms—a housekeeper suite and a
guest suite—are located on the main level, allowing live-in
assistance and guests the flexibility to come and go with-
out disturbing the family upstairs). But it's the master
bedroom that truly stuns. His and hers baths and closets
are but a portion of its amenities. A dual-sided fireplace
warms both the spacious bedroom and an equally grand
sitting room; a terrace runs along one side of the bedroom
that, shielded with greenery, offers complete privacy. Here
couples can regroup and find their own private time.
"is is a great opportunity to live in a spacious and
gracious home in the prestigious South Riviera section
of the Palisades," says Realtor Michael Edlen, adding:
"It's exceedingly rare for a home to be available on this
street off of Amalfi." But that's clear. It's always easy to
pick out a prize.
