Perched high above the corner of Chelsea and Chiswick sits a completely refreshed grand dame of Lower Lunda Bay. No expense was spared to return this wonderful two-story, 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home to a like-new state. Experience true indoor-outdoor living with large format bi-folding doors off the living room and family room which allow for effortless flow to the backyard and pool area. French doors from the kitchen lead out to a beautiful front patio. It's the perfect spot to take in the ocean views and watch the sunset between the street-lined palm trees. On the first floor, you’ll find a remodeled kitchen with Wolf Range and Sub Zero refrigerator. A spacious fireplace-centered living room is perfect for entertaining along with the neighboring family media room and dining room. Throughout the home, you’ll find gorgeous new wood floors and baseboards complimented by wooden California shutters. On the second floor, the primary bedroom faces toward the sea with a peek-a-boo ocean view. This room also has a remodeled primary bath and two generous closets. Down the hallway, you’ll find 3 full-size bedrooms with ensuite bathroom access (one of which is a Hollywood/Jack and Jill). The back bedroom has its own separate access, which is ideal for overnight guests. The front of the home is surrounded by an oversized grass corner lot, perfect for long-throw games of catch. But it’s the backyard that is your true oasis. The large resurfaced pool and jacuzzi sit adjacent to an outdoor kitchen as well as a covered, lighted and heated dining area. Terraced above the pool you’ll find a professionally installed 5-hole putting green. Lush tropical landscaping surrounds the backyard along with beautiful accent tree lighting. This home is truly stunning. .. a must see!

Perched high above the corner of Chelsea and Chiswick, looking out to the iconic PV cliffs and the ocean beyond, sits a grande dame of Lower Lunada Bay. A home that everyone who knows the area recognizes as something special. With French doors throughout the main floor that open to the grounds, air from the ocean blows through this flowing floor plan. Here, inside and outside begin to blur. Visitors and family meander from multiple living and entertainment spaces, drift from interior to exterior without even noticing. This is just one way by which this home takes full advantage of the Palos Verdes spring verdure - the abundant fragrance and shocking color. There are also the second-level balconies from which you can see all those gathered in and around the pool, the generous number of windows throughout that tend to remain open all day. That is, until you watch the sun set from your front patio and those chilly ocean winds begin to drift in off the water. So, you shut the doors and windows and prepare for your evening – perhaps a fire in one of the three fireplaces? Or a warm beverage you prepare on the Lacanche range? There are only good choices to be made here – paradise in Lunada Bay.
