About This Home

As of October 2023

Welcome to this stunning Mediterranean retreat perched high above the South Bay that literally touches Palos Verdes Estates, and offers amazing city views! The unobstructed views span from the Hollywood Hills to San Bernardino, including Downtown LA, SoFi Stadium, Vincent Thomas Bridge, and the new Gerald Desmond bridge…all with no wires or poles in sight! These incredible views can be enjoyed from almost every room on the main level, including the primary bedroom. Decks extend along the whole upper level of the home, giving you even better access to the outdoors and the breathtaking city and night light views! Or, if you would like a completely serene greenery view, just stroll to the other side of the house and you will find yourself nestled in a forest of eucalyptus trees surrounding you. It is so incredibly peaceful, beautiful, and soothing to the soul! There’s a giant tiled patio, accessible right off the living room, which has a freestanding fireplace and enjoys these beautiful green views! This prestigious home sits on 8,784 lot and has over 3,100 square feet, 3 bedrooms + office & bonus room, in addition to the large family room. The home has a fabulous floor plan with wonderful natural lighting throughout. The main level, which has no steps, has a spacious updated kitchen with high end stainless appliances, a casual eating area, a huge living room with gorgeous fireplace, a large formal dining room, primary bedroom and bathroom, + a guest bathroom. Downstairs offers a huge family room with an awesome wet bar and fireplace, 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, office, separate laundry room with utility sink, and a bonus room that would work great as a workout studio/music room/sewing room, etc! 2-Car attached garage with direct access and a lot of extra parking. Some of the many upgrades include: maple hardwood floors throughout, dual paned windows, LED recessed lighting, hand plastered ceilings, 3 indoor fireplaces and 1 outdoor fireplace. Home is located at the end of a small private cul-de-sac with only two homes (not on Via Valmonte)! This home can work perfect for in-laws/multi-generational living.
