Tracy Tutor, the face of ‘Million Dollar Listing’, listed this dramatic Monterey Colonial-inspired home last spring at $23.9 million. The home sold this month for $20 million; the buyer was financial advisor Bo Leilei Shan, the son of Chinese billionaire Weijian Shan.
From the front, a wide lawn, rosebushes, a pair of mature trees, and a slate walkway greet the eye, accumulating into a pleasingly classic vision of home; the façade sports whitewashed brick and a wide second-floor balcony.
The interiors employ a tasteful, inventive approach to traditional style which merges well with the exterior. The foyer features semi-gloss walnut floors and a traditional staircase rising to a curving upper balcony. A skylight illuminates and liberates the space.
The shared living spaces of the 10,877 square-foot home develop as similarly bright, occasionally delving into dark cool tones for complexity. A series of vintage Italian crystal chandeliers, wood paneling, and crown moldings add a well-defined note of glamour to the living style.
There is a detached guest house on the property; the grounds also feature a pool and sunlounge.
