Paseo Miramar is a secluded residential enclave located in Pacific Palisades, Calif. The area is visually comparable to Montecito or Santa Barbara, yet is located only minutes from downtown Los Angeles. In 1928, opera singer Emilita Gallacurcci built this house as her country home. Being from an Italian-Spanish background, she built her home in the style she was accustomed to. The hilltop estate exudes Old World charm and elegance. The seven bedroom home affords endless ocean and mountain views. The entry courtyard rings a beautiful stone fountain and enchanting gardens, and cobblestone paths lead to numerous terraced gardens around the property.
Water gardens, koi ponds, an outdoor dining area, a pool and spa compliment the grounds. On the inside, original hand-carved and stenciled beams tower over the living room, library, game room, formal dining room and kitchen. The master suite has a hand-painted ceiling and includes a sitting room, a cedar dressing room, and a beautifully tiled bath with a coved ceiling and Venetian mural. Rare Malibu tile can be found throughout the house. The architectural "bones" of the home stand in contrast to the seller's modern art collection, and the result is a fantastic blending of Old World with new.
Selling price: $6,985,000
