This
Corona del Mar home, perched at the top of Spyglass Hill, recalls the
grandeur of 16th and 17th Century Italian villas, which typically were
sited on the hilltops or slopes of mountains with magnificent city and
ocean vistas. Its garden is both a place to look at, as well as to look
from. The front courtyard is graced with an authentic antique Italian
fountain. Shaded paths are bordered with flowering plants. A small, working
vineyard yields a generous harvest. A pool rests among large rocks and
boulders. It is an oasis; a place in which to think, relax and escape.

rectangular fire pit, all crafted of stone, creating a rustic and substantial
feel. Family and guests can dine beneath the bold, rust-colored pergola.
