Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1955
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

A sprawling custom-built home on an exceptional property with breathtaking views is being offered in the prestigious Montemalaga area of Palos Verdes Estates! It features a large living room, a round brick castle tower room, three bedrooms (actually four one is a walkthrough that could be used as an art studio or nursery etc..), three baths, a split-level office/den over a wet bar, two dining areas and a separate entertainment/bonus room. This single-story ranch-style residence has remarkable brick and woodwork construction. Outside, there is a pool, built-in grill, and patio that shares the view. All this sits at the end of a cul-de-sac, giving it great privacy. A large circular driveway brings you up to a three-car garage with a workspace and plenty of parking. This lot is extremely rare and unique. It is over 65,000 square feet, almost 1.5 acres, allowing one to build a large footprint new construction home if desired. Another reason to purchase this property is simply the view! Amazing and unblocked, this view looks at the Queens Necklace, downtown Los Angeles and the So-fi center, and the coastline from Redondo up toward Malibu and further west and all the way back across to Long Beach and further to the east with mountains in the distance. This area is desirable for many reasons: schools, safety, areas like Malaga Cove and the beach nearby, access to the LA basin, and fine living. Come see this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
