Designed by the noted architect Robert H. Ainsworth, this Mediterranean Revival home was completed in 1931. The property has been featured in several newspapers and architectural publications. Architectural Digest featured the house in 1932. In April 1933, the Architect and Engineer published a lengthy illustrative article about the house. The massive home is sited on the property like a Tuscan Villa, overlooking the terraced gardens and pool to the east. Its classic details of old-world Mediterranean architecture have been enhanced by the current owners with an incredible sense of sophistication and elegance. Grand public rooms with extensive carved wood details create a wonderful venue for formal entertaining. The grounds, designed by the noted landscape designer Rick Button, have been created with plant and tree species indigenous to the Mediterranean landscape.
