Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1974, this property is a well-maintained 'vintage' home that retains much of its original character but shows clear signs of age. The kitchen features dated white tile countertops with wide grout lines and original wood cabinetry showing some wear, although it has been partially updated with stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms and flooring—including patterned entry tile and older carpeting—reflect the styles of the 1970s. While the home is functional and features impressive vaulted wood ceilings and views, it lacks the modern renovations required for a higher rating.
Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (10/10).
The property features floor-to-ceiling windows and a large veranda that showcase breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island from the main living areas.
Situated on a stately corner lot along Paseo Del Mar, the home is within walking distance of Point Fermin Park, the Korean Friendship Bell, and the upcoming West Harbor waterfront development.
Despite having over 1,800 square feet of living space, the home only offers two bedrooms, which may limit its appeal to larger families or buyers requiring more sleeping quarters.
Built in 1974, the property’s original systems and 'vintage' finishes may require significant modernization or capital investment to meet the expectations of today’s luxury buyers.
