Custom Home over 10,000 Sq. Ft.

French Provençal Estate

This exquisite Mission Hills residence evokes the grandeur of an elegant European retreat. Intimate spaces within the expansive 10,232-square-foot home ensure a refined yet welcoming ambiance. Every detail was meticulously considered, from hand-drawn tile patterns to the perfectly aligned windows and doors that enhance the stone façade.

The architectural precision continues inside, where graceful arched doorways define the home’s aesthetic, leading to a covered terrace that extends the living space outdoors. Set on a deep, narrow lot, the home was expertly positioned to align with the street, maintaining a stately presence while adhering to city regulations. This estate is a masterclass in custom design, where history and craftsmanship converge to create a residence that feels both grand and inviting.
