Property Description

Discover the grandeur of the historic Mendenhall Estate, a fully restored and expanded home with Gold Rush-era roots located at the base of Palomar Mountain. Originally settled in 1879 as part of the Rancho Cuca Mexican land, this custom home features interior design elements that reflect the decor of the early 1900s. Once home to the Mendenhall cattle ranching family, the estate beautifully blends California history with modern luxury. Spanning 5,469 square feet and nestled on 1.81 acres, the property includes 5 bedrooms/5 bathrooms. The home has been completely remodeled and restored to its former glory, featuring top-of-the-line finishes throughout, including dazzling K9 crystal accents on chandeliers, doorknobs, and even hot/cold shower handles. Bathrooms feature Bluetooth-enabled sound systems and ambient overhead lighting with customizable color settings, bringing spa-like comfort into everyday living. In the upstairs primary suite, custom wall sconces add a warm, designer touch to both the bedroom and bath, elevating the ambiance and craftsmanship throughout. The poured concrete walls provide insulation and tranquility, while tons of windows offer an abundance of natural light and stunning mountain views. The main level features Brazilian travertine floors, 3 bedrooms (with a primary en-suite), 2 bathrooms, an office, a sunroom, 2 fireplaces, and direct access to the thermal-pane heated pool and a yard inspired by English gardens. The chef's kitchen impresses with natural quartzite countertops and premium appliances, including Miele, Bosch, Fisher Paykel, and appliance garages. Additionally, there is a spacious secondary kitchen that offers ample counter space for food preparation with plenty of cabinets for storage. The newly permitted top floor offers 1,752 square feet of living space, which includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a loft area. It features beautiful cedar ceilings and luxurious Italian marble vanities, and the flooring is luxury vinyl planks that are waterproof. The remodeled upstairs has a primary suite that boasts a spacious bathroom with a jetted tub, set in a custom-designed alcove. Additionally, there are roomy his-and-her walk-in closets that allow for personalized storage solutions. Plus, in the closet, you'll also find washer-dryer hookups along with space for a folding table. The primary bedroom is generously sized and showcases an antique stained-glass window from a church dating back to the 1800s. This top floor has it
