1296 CAPRI DRIVE, PACIFIC PALISADES CA 90272

Set on a half-acre lot just moments from the Riviera Country Club, 1296 Capri Drive is a single-story estate that fuses European provenance with a thoughtful, full-scale renovation rooted in craftsmanship, indoor-outdoor flow, and connection to nature. A gated entry opens to a serene front courtyard with an outdoor fireplace, framed by mature plantings. An antique bronze and glass front door opens to expansive interiors where every room connects to the surrounding gardens. Throughout the home, old-world elements include 15th-century Italian doors from Milan, a carved Louis XV marble fireplace, and two antique French stone fountains that define the courtyard and anchor the backyard. The floor plan is organized into two distinct wings. One dedicated to the private living quarters, including the primary suite, which opens to the gardens and features dual bathrooms with a smart toilet, dry sauna, and two walk-in closets. Three additional en-suite bedrooms complete this side of the home. The opposite wing is designed for entertaining, centered around a den with a built-in bar, surround sound, antique terracotta flooring, and a climate-controlled wine wall. The main living room features a carved marble fireplace and vaulted, beamed ceilings that invite natural light throughout the day. A full wall of French doors opens to the gardens, reinforcing the seamless indoor-outdoor connection that defines the property. The kitchen was custom built by Cooper Pacific, centered around Italian feather walnut travertine counters and professional appliances that include a 64-inch Wolf range with French top and grill, two Wolf ovens (one steam), Le Cornue rotisserie, Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual Miele dishwashers, Wolf refrigerator drawers and ice maker, Irinox flash freezer and sous vide, and a built-in Natufia hydroponic grower. A walk-in pantry and separate china closet offer ample utility without compromising design. Outdoors, the landscaping is as functional as it is peaceful. Created by Garett Carlson of Landarc and Stephen Block of Inner Gardens, the grounds include a series of vegetable garden beds with lemon, orange, peach, plum, fig, mulberry, yuzu, Australian finger lime, and avocado trees. The soil and all plantings were organically treated. Additional highlights include a 2,500 bottle refrigerated wine cellar, rose-covered gazebo, built-in outdoor speakers, multiple 100-year-old Olive trees, and an area ideal for a dog run. The home features two new HVAC systems with HEPA filtration, all-new attic ducting and insulation, three water heaters (two of which are tankless), and security cameras.
