More Insights

Built in 1982 (43 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1982, this property has undergone an extensive, high-end renovation, making it virtually new in terms of quality and features. The chef's kitchen boasts top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a large island, all in a modern, pristine condition as seen in the images. The bathrooms are equally luxurious, with the primary suite featuring dual vanities, Toto Washlets, a seven-foot soaking tub, multi-head rain shower, and chevron-patterned walnut and marble flooring. Custom walnut floors, hand-painted wallpaper, and bespoke light fixtures throughout the home, along with resort-style outdoor amenities, indicate a comprehensive and recent upgrade to the highest standards. All components appear new or virtually new, with no deferred maintenance.

About this home

Behind the gates of Moraga Estates, one of Bel Air's most exclusive private communities, 1420 Moraga Drive sits on over six acres of land surrounded by hillside views and absolute privacy. This stately Tudor residence is discreetly sited with approximately 600 feet of street frontage, its brick facade softened by curated landscaping and a canopy of mature sycamores. Original parquet in the foyer with added custom walnut floors throughout and thick doors with hand-forged hardware anchor the interiors in material richness. The formal dining room is wrapped in hand-painted wallpaper, designed around custom sconces and a one-of-a-kind chandelier of olive branches adorned with topaz and crystals. The chef's kitchen features Wolf appliances, a farmhouse sink, a large island, and an adjacent pantry includes a second refrigerator, a wine refrigerator, and large-capacity freezer. The kitchen dining area has a concealed pop-up television and access through three French doors that open to a trellised patio with Barbeque area. Nearby, a built-in bar with additional beverage, wine and ice machine. A separate wood-paneled library offers a quiet retreat with a large fireplace, custom built-ins, and an ensuite bath, making it ideal as an office or guest suite. One of the home's most artful vignettes, the powder room is wrapped in ethereal, painterly wallpaper and grounded by striking black marble flooring. An oval window with a radial grille casts soft, diffused light across the space, illuminating a hand-carved antique vanity and custom marble sink. The primary suite opens to a private terrace with sweeping hillside views often visited by deer. The bathroom evokes the feeling of a treehouse spa with large windows, dual vanities with filtered water, dual toilet closets with Toto Washlets, a seven-foot soaking tub, and a multi-head rain shower. Chevron-patterned walnut and marble floor and ambient lighting add a sense of calm and continuity. Double dressing rooms include custom cabinetry and built-in safes. The guest wing includes three generously sized bedrooms with ensuite baths and walk-in closets. Along the hallway there's additional storage with three walk-in closets and two linen cabinets. Further down the hallway is a family lounge and a large bonus room that currently serves as a music studio. An additional guest bedroom, walk-in closet and bath is down the backstairs. Outside, a vine-draped pergola runs the full length of the home, strung with twinkle lights and warmed by built-in heaters. The grounds feature a large pool and spa, Swedish sauna, herb garden, firepit with lounge seating, a separate pool bathroom with shower, climbing wall, gymnastics rings, yoga sling, and Rogue stall bars. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area enhance the experience. The stone driveway leads to a gated portico and an expansive motor court with access to the climate-controlled three-car garage. Security is paramount on Moraga Drive. The community security features 24-hour gated guard service, roving patrol vehicles, and a self-launching drone with infrared technology, making Moraga one of the most advanced residential surveillance systems in the country.
