Panoramic city lights and mountain views surround this reimagined home, transformed with over $1.2M in custom upgrades into the crown jewel of Regency Hill, a private gated community in Via Verde. Perched on a prime view lot, this sanctuary showcases a Santa Barbara smooth stucco exterior, handcrafted mahogany garage doors and gates, Provence chimney crowns, and a dazzling landscape design—meticulously lit to rival Disneyland—complete with an elegant fountain and extensive natural-stone hardscape. A covered front porch opens to double mahogany doors and hand-scraped engineered hardwood floors. Inside, every detail reflects uncompromising quality: a Level 5 drywall finish, England-trained master carpentry, solid 1-3/4 inch interior doors with Churchill hardware, advanced security, professional-grade Wi-Fi, Sonos sound, and Lutron automated lighting. The open, light-filled floor plan begins with a direct sightline from the entry to the backyard and mountains beyond. A sweeping staircase and soaring ceilings frame the formal living room and adjacent dining room, accented by exposed beams, an arched picture window, and a sophisticated fireplace. The kitchen features custom inset cabinetry, quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, concealed ambient lighting, and a farmhouse sink positioned to capture breathtaking vistas. A peninsula with bar seating and a breakfast nook with French doors transition seamlessly to the open family room, where a custom fireplace, flush-mounted surround sound, and three expansive picture windows frame the million-dollar view. The main floor also offers a guest bedroom with French doors to the backyard, a full bath, and a laundry room with access to the fully finished three-car garage with Factory 1 epoxy floors. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings and unobstructed views. Its spa-like bathroom features dual sinks, a marble-surround soaking tub with views, a frameless glass shower, and a walk-in closet. A hallway with custom cabinetry leads to two additional bedrooms—one currently designed as a home office—and a stylish bathroom. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream, with a pebble-finished pool and oversized spa with cascading spillway, Pentair UltraUV sanitizer, iAqualink controls, custom hardscape, fire pit, elevated planters, and mature trees—all set against a sweeping panoramic backdrop.
