About This Home
As of December 2019Perched on a picturesque Palos Verdes hillside at the end of a cul-de-sac, this gorgeous home was transformed by Lori Dennis of HGTV, into a 4,295 square foot harmonious contemporary showplace with demur grandeur and beauty. Broad canyon views and sweeping panoramas of the Pacific Ocean from Catalina Island to Point Dune are visible from most of the large-scale living spaces. Lofty vaulted ceilings and with skylights drench the smoky white oak floors in natural light. Sleek espresso cabinets and a white island topped with white caesarstone and a complete array of stainless KitchenAid appliances highlight the kitchen. The backsplash has built-in USB ports. A pantry wall lends a large amount of storage to a breakfast nook with big ocean views. Glass railings enhance the architectural lines of the interior and exterior, and an extensive amount of deck space and hardscape play area with flagstone drive surround this home. The master bedroom has Catalina and canyon views and an opulent master bath has stone and glass tile and caesarstone counters float on the espresso cabinets. There are custom light fixtures throughout this open, airy floor plan. Stream music to wireless speakers throughout the interior and exterior of this home. The laundry room incorporates a stylish “mud room”. The 3-car garage offers plenty of storage, and there is even an outdoor shower. Security cameras offer a remote look throughout the home, making this gated estate a private oasis on the hill.
