Originally built in 1927, and completely renovated from 2013-2015, this estate home combines historic architecture and true modern living. Arrange a chef-created meal in the state-of-the-art kitchen, which includes Wolf, Sub-Zero & Miele appliances, and designer finishes like Calacatta Gold marble, leathered granite, Hansgrohe Starck Axor Faucets, and Niche Modern pendant lighting. Take a stroll into the inspired outdoor space which encompasses nearly 26,000 sq. ft., and enjoy a tranquil landscape complete with a saltwater pool and spa, outdoor kitchen with DCS appliances, spacious patios, and courtyard, gorgeous outdoor fireplace, massive upper lawn, and mature landscape, evoking an essence of incomparable peace.

Curated Comfort:

Designed with memorable moments in mind, this property presents numerous spaces set for grand or intimate gatherings. The Bridgford House includes five large en-suite bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a private home office, a media room, and a rooftop viewing deck. To begin the night, enjoy family and friends in the formal living room, which is anchored by a signature parabolic window, Fontana Arte chandeliers, and the original 1927 Markoff fireplace. Just off the grand rotunda entryway is the formal sunken dining room, which showcases an Ochre Arctic Pear chandelier, gorgeous views of Catalina Island, and room to entertain the whole family. Retreat to the ~800 square foot master suite with dual Monterey balconies, and find yourself surrounded by luxurious finishes, which include wide plank carbonized oak flooring, Calcutta Gold and Basalt slab and tile, and a morning kitchen with Sub-Zero under counter refrigeration. The master bath is truly a five-star spa and features a freestanding tub, steam shower with multiple showerheads, including rainfall and hand, Kohler Purist fixtures, and a Flos Starck Chandelier.
