Description
This stunning Spanish estate sits on a palm-lined promenade just 100 feet from the beach, on one of the largest lots in Coronado. The historical landmark encompasses a 14,142 square-foot main house, sprawling guest house, and private garden sanctuary with tranquil fountains and estancia. Originally built for business magnate W.A. Gunn, the four-bedroom (option for five), eight-bathroom abode features vintage Hollywood glamour adorned with state-of-the-art amenities for optimal luxury living space, replete with castle-like characteristics.

An immaculately hand-painted coffered ceiling dominates the formal dining room, punctuating the voluminous expanse that bleeds outward to the pool deck via a trio of custom steel glass doors. Grounded in reclaimed 18th-century European terracotta tile, Spanish
