Imagine a place where tranquility is as plentiful as the indigenous trees that reflect the changing of the seasons – a land where rolling hills extend outwards towards the horizon while gentle breezes travel in from the Pacific- and a home where the pace is a little slower; the air a little fresher; and a quality of life suited for those desiring a break from the constant rush of city living. Welcome to 5003 Read Road.
Deeply rooted in the tradition, rich architecture, and vibrant palettes of the Spanish culture 5003 Read Road evokes the old-world charm and romantic splendor of a Mexican hacienda. With its rich colors, rugged textures, and handcrafted natural materials the home gently embraces you like the soft strains from a flamenco guitar as it wraps you in a wealth of luxuries.
Perfectly situated to soak-in the picturesque views of the surrounding countryside, the 4 bedroom 5 bath home with guest house serenely sits behind the beauty of its colorful gardens, imported rustic antique doors, and scrolling hand-forged wrought iron, before welcoming you with the gentle sound of its courtyard fountain.
The home’s 6,629 square foot interior is a showcase of imported custom amenities, rich woods, and resplendent stone and tile work. The spacious living room features beautifully finished Santos Mahogany plank flooring and baseboards that highlight its ornately carved custom entertainment center and display case. The room is then anchored by a magnificently crafted fireplace with inlaid pebbles and a striking mesquite wood mantle. French doors flank the fireplace and open to the rear grounds, bringing sunlight deep into the room.
The kitchen is an aesthetic banquet for the senses. Polished terra cotta floor tiles imported from a convent in Spain is the perfect introduction to the room’s personality as they seamlessly fuse with the impressive hand-painted wall accent tiles, striking granite counters, hand carved wood cabinetry, and cobalt blue sinks. The center island was masterfully crafted in Guadalajara from rich mesquite wood and carved with such impressive detailing that it becomes a distinctive piece of art unto itself. This showpiece is then lit by an antique hand-forged iron chandelier. A country fireplace in the breakfast area adds to the kitchen’s charm. Appliances are by Wolf and Sub-Zero.
With built-in custom wood cabinets in tandem with softly arched display alcoves, the master bedroom suite provides an ambiance where you can relax at the end of the day. The warmth of the bedroom is enhanced by the Santos Mahogany plank flooring, wood burning fireplace, and wood framed windows that open to countryside views. A soothing color palette enriches the resplendent use of stone and tile in the master bath that are used to create a stage for the step-up deep soak tub. Exquisitely crafted wood cabinetry finishes the rustic elegance of the room.
The completely private and serene rear grounds celebrate the home’s Spanish architecture with a visually stunning presentation. Verdant landscaping of Orchid trees and Bougainvillea, expansive hillside views, and a tropical seaside pool setting encourages afternoons of basking in the sun with a libation of choice and quiet evenings enjoying the warmth of the terrace’s wood burning fireplace. An infinity pool and spa is nestled into a lagoon environment with waterfalls, palm trees, and even a small sandy beach to enhance the resort experience.
Spirited and expressive, vibrant and elegant, 5003 Read Road is a home that is steeped not only in Spanish architectural tradition but a deep cultural personality that celebrates the enjoyment of family, friends, and life.
