Description:

One-of-a-kind completely remodeled estate located on the Ortega River with 137’ water frontage, new dock-boathouse and beautiful custom pool. The home was built in 1960 by renowned homebuilder Ira Berger.  It offers 6 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 1/2 baths and many wonderful rooms including a hand crafted walnut library with coffered ceilings and imported library lighting from Britain. The house is 4,550 sq. ft. plus covered porches, a two-car garage and sits on 1.27 custom landscaped acres.  The estate underwent a 17-month $1 million renovation by the current owners in 2006-2007 under the guidance of leading interior designers that successfully created an elegance found only in bygone eras.  The best materials from around the world were selected for each element in every room. All seven bathrooms were luxuriously transformed through master artisans and include hand cut and laid Italian marble and European stone as well as hardwood designer millwork and imported fixtures, including plumbing fixtures by Waterworks.  Window treatments and lighting elements from Italy, Britain, France and the best designer houses in the US (including Niermann Weeks) are found throughout the home. The River Room features a custom built-in wet bar and terrazzo floor with brass inlays. The unique pool deck with imported Dominican coral stays completely cool in summer. 100% of the home’s systems and primary components have been replaced, and include new mechanical and electrical systems (redundant electrical systems and three independent HVAC systems with inline humidifiers), new plumbing, new entertainment system, new sealed insulation in attic and basement, new security system, two renovated fire places, new built-in closets, new roof and gutter system, new exterior lighting, new 12-zone irrigation system, new underground drainage throughout property, new architecturally designed hardscape with 19th century reclaimed bricks, new driveway, new perimeter fencing, new retaining wall on river, new dock and boathouse. The estate offers many unique details including a bedroom with an attached secret room accessed by a recessed trapdoor and over an acre of landscaped gardens chosen to provide colorful flowers throughout each season.
