The oceanview deck features an elegant pool deck where you can
swim, lounge or soak in the bubbly spa before enjoying drinks
and barbecue at the al fresco kitchen and bar. Steps away is a
perfect spot for intimate, after-dark dinners, with orange flames
flickering in the red-brick fireplace. The rolling green lawn is a
spacious and fitting part of the manicured scene, as is a pebbled
deck carved into the bluff top—a picture perfect spot for tea or
cocktails at sunset. One of the most exclusive features of the
property is the private path that leads down along the bluff to the
picturesque beachfront below; a poetic place to hike and enjoy
the splendor of sand and ocean life in seclusion.
As much as the home and grounds are suited for quiet
moments and privacy; they're also ideal for entertaining. The
spacious front courtyard and soaring, chandelier foyer provide
a high-style welcome, and the roomy scale of public spaces
invites get-togethers ranging from formal dinner parties to
casual gatherings where guests can mingle outdoors, or step
inside a sunny kitchen with ocean views and a scene-stealing
cooking range that's majestically framed in white stone and
ornate wood. (A nice touch for staff or out-of-town visitors are
the sunny, one-bedroom guest quarters with private entrance,
located atop the three-car garage.)
Unblockable coastal views and privacy aside, the neighbor-
hood is a high-end residential gem with wide, peaceful streets.
You can step outdoors to stroll and jog along majestic bluff-top
trails, or golf at your choice of four award-winning courses, all
located within 10 minutes by car. "The person looking to buy
here is looking foremost at the location," Bisignano points out.
"They want a bluff-top property and are willing to expand their
thinking on the sort of home they would like, because the amount
of inventory for oceanfront or bluff-top homes is limited." In this
case, the ideal bluff-top location happens to be home to a sunlit,
elegant residence with a spacious floorplan and sculpted green
grounds. It's a recipe that beckons today as much as it did to the
original developer of Lunada Point, who once called 57 Margue-
rite Drive home—just like its lucky new buyers will do soon.
