About This Home

As of March 2019

Sweeping coastal and ocean views from all levels grace this elegant home in the prestigious area of lower Temple Hills. Colorful sunrises, sunsets, twinkling city lights and hillside views will entertain you throughout the day. Panoramic views looking north up the coast to Los Angeles as well as out to Catalina and San Clemente islands are hypnotic. Filled with artistic touches, the home has 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and open style living areas spread out over three levels for relaxed and comfortable living. Every level has an ocean view deck plus there is a large patio in front with a gated entry from the street. Highly upgraded throughout with solid wood windows and beams, vaulted ceilings, travertine tile floors in all rooms, custom built-ins in all closets, wine storage, professional grade Viking appliances, granite counters in kitchen and baths. The direct access garage has large storage cabinets and epoxy-coated floor. The house is on a street to street lot and there is a lower gate at the bottom for a shorter walk to the beach or town. The backyard and gardens are surprisingly private and peaceful; filled with flowers and fruit trees. The street has good guest parking and the area has no overhead utility wires, no Mello-Roos nor any HOA fees. Check out the video link.
