Description

Welcome to Villa Leon, a crown jewel of Spanish Modern Revival architecture, exquisitely remodeled in 2022 at nearly a million-dollar expense. Nestled in the prestigious Mission Hills Country Club, this stately home with its detached casita stands proudly against the backdrop of tranquil lakefronts, lush Pete Dye fairways, and the majestic peaks of San Gorgonio and San Jacinto. As you step through the enchanting courtyard, the grandeur of the double-arched biometric entry sweeps you into a foyer crowned with soaring 14-foot ceilings and gorgeous European white oak floors that extend throughout the house, adding a touch of elegance to every room. This space ushers you into the heart of the home, where an expansive, open-concept living area, bathed in natural light, unfolds. Here, a sleek Italian granite fireplace anchors the room, complemented by an exquisitely crafted curio wall made of luxurious Italian cabinetry, perfect for showcasing treasured artworks and first editions. Integrated speakers fill the space with melodious sounds, enhancing the home's ambiance, while massive panoramic windows draped with remote-controlled curtains frame the breathtaking views, blending the indoors with the awe-inspiring landscape beyond. The living area seamlessly transitions into the chef's kitchen, a spectacular testament to modern design and functionality where culinary dreams come alive with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, including a steam/convection oven, steam burst oven, warming drawer, espresso maker, induction cooktop, dishwasher, and a Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer accompanied by additional refrigerated drawers and wine cooler. The grand quartz island comfortably seats five, fostering intimate family breakfasts or lively dinner parties. The space is so thoughtfully arranged with walls of custom cabinetry and an essential walk-in pantry, ensuring every tool and ingredient has its place. Flowing from this culinary hub, the great room - or your own personal concert hall - extends another invitation to gather. With towering 14-foot ceilings supported by massive wood beams and clerestory windows, it invites the sky inside, while French doors open to a series of covered patios, crafting a perfect indoor-outdoor symphony. A sophisticated 3D electric fireplace echoes the crackle of a real hearth, setting the stage for memorable large family banquets or a grand piano recital. Beyond the social spaces, the primary suite offers a serene retreat, featuring a bespoke Italian-designed king bed and panoramic doors that reveal a secluded outdoor jacuzzi. The suite's walk-in steam shower is a marvel: unbelievably spacious at ~50 square feet, it boasts multiple sitting benches, offering a luxurious spa-like experience. This magnificent suite is complemented by a dressing hall with custom closets illuminated by natural light. Two guest suites complete the inside of the main house, each a private haven with sleek floating vanities and modern walk-in showers detailed with LED mirrors. A short stroll across the lush grounds leads to the casita, renovated to the highest standards, providing a sumptuous retreat that rivals the finest luxury hotels. At last, the villa's outdoor areas are a paradise of comfort and entertainment, where multiple misting patios ensure blissful relaxation even on warm summer days. The sprawling lawn invites laughter and play, with visiting moorhens and geese adding a touch of whimsy. Here, in this verdant oasis, every sunset painted across the sky promises a fresh canvas for tomorrow's memories, making Villa Leon not just a house but a home filled with warmth, laughter, and endless possibilities. Monthly HOA dues offer solid value with weekly landscaping, Cable TV, and access to fitness and club facilities included.
