Step into an extraordinary Lunada Bay estate, a masterfully designed sanctuary that epitomizes California’s quintessential indoor-outdoor living. Poised on an expansive lot that presents as over 14,000 square feet, inclusive of the front easement, this residence showcases a rare U-shaped paver driveway, complemented by an additional path leading to a rear garage—providing ample on-site parking for guests. Enter through a bespoke white oak Dutch door into a sunlit haven, where soaring pitched ceilings and an elegant white oak-wrapped beam converge above the living space. Anchored by a gas fireplace adorned with a hand-hewn rustic mantel, the ambiance is both warm and sophisticated. Six dramatic bifold doors invite the outdoors in, seamlessly extending the living area into the exquisite backyard, perfect for entertaining. Thoughtfully landscaped, the outdoor oasis features a generous lawn, a custom fire pit, and a hot tub framed by an expansive deck for ultimate relaxation. The chef’s kitchen, a culinary masterpiece, is equipped with top-tier appliances including a 48-inch range centered on a grand island, and a 60-inch fridge/freezer combination with integrated water feature. The striking backsplash stretches from countertop to ceiling, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic, while the oversized white oak island anchors the space, effortlessly merging with the adjoining living and dining areas. A custom-built, temperature-controlled wine cellar, encased in floor-to-ceiling glass and illuminated by ambient backlighting, stands as a stunning focal point. The master suite is a serene retreat, complete with custom built-ins, a cozy reading nook, and a spa-inspired bathroom adorned in opulent marble-style tile and herringbone floors. A custom white oak double vanity, an expansive L-shaped shower bench, and a spacious dual closet system elevate this space into a true sanctuary. This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence is further enhanced by white oak floors throughout, integrated ceiling speakers in the living areas (Bluetooth and Sonos-ready), and a statement white oak garage door. The sprawling backyard opens directly to a scenic trail, offering quick access to Lunada Bay Canyon and the cliffs. Located in one of Palos Verdes Estates’ most coveted neighborhoods, this luxurious home is steps from top-rated schools and the charming Lunada Bay Plaza, offering an unrivaled blend of elegance and lifestyle.

“But what did he see in the clear stream below? His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. ” ~ Hans Christian Andersen We all know the story of the "Ugly Duckling" and let's not mince words here, 2225 Chelsea is just that; a fixer upper. But there's that famous old adage from which we can not and never shall escape . .. "LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION"! Just a block from the bluffs of Paseo del Mar in Palos Verdes Estates CA is this 2300 sqft home on a 10,000 sqft private, protected by city parkway lot. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and a perfect layout from which you can create your "beautiful swan". Make no mistake, this LOWER Lunada Bay location is one of the highest in-demand areas of all the Palos Verdes homes locations. Why? Not only are you near the oceanfront; but you're also in a location that is the only area of Palos Verdes in which all three schools (Lunada Bay Elementary, Palos Verdes Intermediate, and Palos Verdes High School) are within a couple of minutes of one another. In all the other areas, parents are budgeting 30 minutes or more to commute their kids to school! Ask your Realtor to download floor plan supplement from the MLS and to provide you the video aerial drone footage.
