About This Home

As of July 2025

You have probably admired this house if you walk or drive around Valmonte. That's no surprise as the architect was the famous Walter Swindell Davis, who also designed La Venta Inn and the former General Store (now the Yellow Vase) in the Plaza, plus other notable Palos Verdes landmarks. Now is your chance to own a piece of Palos Verdes history. You could look a long time before you found another like this. With really impressive curb presence, this lovingly maintained home sits on a huge (16K+ sf), flat lot in a prime area of Valmonte. The main level includes the kitchen overlooking the front yard, living room with very high ceilings and manly wood-burning fireplace, separate dining area, 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and cabinets galore. The master suite is upstairs and is truly spectacular with a curved glass wall, skylites that open, full bath, sitting area with access to the private, huge walk-in closetwrap-around deck. The size of the rear garden will knock your socks off, so secure them before viewing. There is a spa and an oversized detached garage with a handy workshop behind it. If you're looking for the charm and character that makes Valmonte so special, this is hard to beat.
