More Insights

Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1979, this property has undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation that brings it to a virtually new condition. The kitchen is fully updated with premium Thermador appliances, modern shaker cabinetry, natural stone counters, and dual dishwashers. Bathrooms are described as 'spa-style' and appear completely modernized. Wide-plank white oak floors, sleek modern fireplaces, and smart-home features like dual-zone Nest climate control and a Ring doorbell system further indicate a recent and comprehensive overhaul, likely within the last five years, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.

About this home

From the moment you walk through the front door, this home unfolds in layers—from a quiet entryway to a sweeping hillside and city-lights view that catches you completely by surprise. It’s the kind of setting that feels worlds away, yet remains close to everything. Surrounded by mature trees and parkland, the property enjoys rare privacy and an open, natural backdrop—an uncommon luxury for “L.A. living.” Natural light pours across wide-plank white oak floors, guiding you through an open, connected main level where the living, dining, and kitchen flow effortlessly toward a continuous view deck. Expansive windows frame the hills and shimmering skyline beyond the park, filling the home with a sense of calm and space that only the Palos Verdes hills can offer. The kitchen was designed for those who love to cook, host, and gather. Outfitted with premium Thermador appliances, dual dishwashers, under-cabinet wine refrigeration, and a walk-in pantry with extra pull-out storage, it blends beauty with function. Shaker cabinetry and natural stone counters tie it all together, leading to a living area anchored by a sleek modern fireplace—where evenings unfold with the distant glow of city lights as your backdrop. Downstairs, all bedrooms are thoughtfully grouped to create a peaceful retreat separate from the main living spaces—ideal for households that love to entertain. Two primary suites offer flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, while the main suite elevates the experience with dual mirrored closets, a walk-in, motorized blackout shades, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub and oversized shower. A large family/game room with second fireplace and wet bar opens to a private, low-maintenance yard. A dedicated office and laundry room—each framed by barn doors—add both charm and practicality. Smart-home features include dual-zone Nest climate control and a Ring doorbell system. The three-car garage with workshop provides direct access to the kitchen, plus ample additional parking. Beneath it all, a partially finished bonus area—currently used as a gym—offers even more potential. With its generous dimensions and separate access, it could easily evolve into an expanded living space, studio, or ADU. Balancing connection and seclusion, this home delivers the best of both worlds: the ease of everyday access, the prestige of Palos Verdes schools, and the peace of hillside living—complete with a front-row view of city lights behind the parkland.
