Behind the gates of Bay Ridge, this Mediterranean estate rests on 1.58 acres of mature oaks off the Highway 68 corridor. A columned portico opens to a barrel-vaulted foyer and a sweeping colonnade of cast stone columns and arches. The living room centers on a carved cast stone fireplace beneath a tray ceiling, with arched windows and French doors to a balustraded terrace. The family room adds hardwood floors, a coffered ceiling and a second fireplace, and a cherry-paneled library with a beamed ceiling makes a quiet office. The kitchen offers cherry cabinetry, granite counters, an island, a skylight and double wall ovens. The primary bath features a barrel-vaulted ceiling, soaking tub and dual vanities. Approximately 5,118 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, filtered bay and valley views through the oaks, minutes to Monterey and Carmel.
