Though an irrefutably high-touch environment, the house is as warm as it is magnanimous, blending sunny, sociable spaces with highly crafted details. With a beautifully bricked edifice and windows both lovely and abundant, 1166 Corsica Drive knows how to make an entrance—exquisitely. Fanning out from the gracious foyer, the floor plan highlights a procession of sophisticated yet free-flowing spaces, and one floats easily, and enviably, among residential zones. With quintessential California living "best accentuated through seamless indoor/outdoor flow," Schwartz says, "1166 Corsica Drive boasts massive bi-folding doors that highlight one's ability to enjoy the divine weather year round with direct access to the common living, dining and entertainment spaces." Spanning three stories, the main level boasts living, dining, office and family room areas along with direct access to the garage and a spacious backyard oasis featuring multiple patios with retractable awnings, a full outdoor kitchen, pool, spa and large grassy area. Also on this level is a showcase chef's kitchen with handsome cabinetry and marble countertops, Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances and a walk-in pantry marking the generously dimensioned space as fresh and contemporary. Keeping a particularly high-design profile between the kitchen and an family room is the chic, designer appointed wet bar, which makes for a truly au courant cocktail hour, particularly when entertaining. The second floor is appropriately next level with four bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings and en-suite bathrooms highlighting heated floors and custom marble finishes. It is a sophisticated quartet, to be sure, but the primary suite takes its first-in-class distinction seriously, with a fireplace, airy seating area, oversized walk-in closet, custom blackout shades and direct access to a bonus flex room. Equipped with an exquisitely finished steam shower, soaking tub, heated floors, and dual vanities and water closets, the primary bathroom is its own refuge, transforming routine self- care into a spa ritual—every day. The denouement is downstairs, which is comprised of a family room, oversized movie theatre, gym Barre studio, walk-in wine cellar and guest bedroom with an additional two baths. Running on a Savant home automation system with Lutron lighting and blinds, 1166 Corsica Drive weaves together high tech and high style into one fashionable whole. The result is an address defined by its design and amplified by its amenities, including a location just moments from local shopping and top restaurants yet close to the beach. "Of all the noteworthy features, quality upgrades and designer details this house boasts, the property is ultimately defined by its desirable location," Schwartz affirms. "This is one of the most exclusive and sought- after neighborhoods within Los Angeles and rarely do lots like this become available." This house may dream of the Italian Riviera, but it's right at home in LA. $18 million, listed by Michelle Schwartz of The Agency
