As one might expect with a tremendous home in one of California's priciest neighborhoods, no expense was spared with this Mediterranean-style villa. Totaling more than 34,000 square feet, the lavish home has nine bedrooms and 20 baths spread over four floors. The impressive entryway is lit by a 9-foot-tall French crystal chandelier. The formal living room is capped by a 20-foot domed ceiling painted with sky scenes that can be lit eight different ways. The huge entertainment area includes a bowling alley, game room, screening room, racquetball court, fitness room and sauna. And the acre-plus of land is landscaped with lawns, a rose garden and fruit trees. It is listed with Jade Mills at Coldwell Banker.
