Film star Mary Pickford once said: "The Spanish influence in California is one of the great charms of our state, a precious heritage second only to our climate". Via Elevado embodies this regional epithet. Situated on a secluded canyon street in the hills overlooking the Southern California coastline, this Mediterranean Revival home is carved into the coastal-sage covered hillside. The romantic appeal of this distinctive home is immediately evident upon entering the front door, where a view through the house reveals the statuesque Moorish designed fireplace in the rear courtyard beyond.

​

The rear garden also features a spacious arched veranda, substantial retaining walls which expand the usable space, and a new reflection pool with an oversized party spa where water spills from a rustic native stone wall. The court also features an inviting bar, an elaborate outdoor kitchen for preparing lavish meals, and a culinary garden for picking fresh ingredients.

 

The hand-laid limestone tile flooring adds the wonderful finishing touch of creating a harmonious and inviting old California atmosphere.
