THE PINK LADY OF DEL MAR  

Built for the Canfield family of Los Angeles in 1911, and designed by renowned architect John Austin, the "Pink Lady" of Del Mar has finally been restored to its original grandeur. Under the direction of Architects Larry Case and Doug Mansfield, the meticulous renovation and expansion of this magnificent landmark estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean took over four years. This is one of Olde Del Mar's most unique and large sites. It is doubtful that this could ever be replicated again at this price, let alone the ability to find a fully usable site like this. The residence encompasses six large bedroom suites, including a detached guest house, seven baths, and three powder rooms.

Note the incredible attention to detail, from the craftsmanship of the extensive woodworking to the authentic window hardware and custom polished chrome fixtures; Original Cuban mahogany paneling finished and augmented with newly acquired exotic mahogany in the living room. The ballroom sized family room features a stone fireplace and spectacular barrel coved ceiling and hammered copper inlay. A commercial grade elevator provides access from the gorgeous second floor master suite to the lower level wine room and oversized swimming pool and spa. The home also features a lower level media room, huge gym/bonus room and spa facility with separate sauna and dedicated massage area. The chef's kitchen with Carrera marble and honed black granite countertops features Sub-zero and Viking appliances including three ovens, warming drawer, pasta faucet and large butler's pantry.

Additional features of this incredible residence are too numerous to list but include five fireplaces, radiant heat throughout in four zones, original quarter sawn oak flooring, built in music system, garages with quality woodworked interiors, a plethora of outdoor entertaining areas with dramatic landscaping and rolling lawn, a separate garden area with fruit trees and raised vegetable gardens, and pool shower and bath. This is Del Mar's finest!
