About this home
This classic New England-style residence is one of the neighborhood’s most admired homes. Expansive ocean views are enjoyed from most rooms, while a versatile floor plan creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Beautifully remodeled in 2026, including the pool and spa, the home features wide-plank flooring, stunning millwork, new French windows and doors, and custom lighting that enhance its architectural character throughout. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the house, a place where everyone will want to gather. Multiple living spaces offer flexibility, along with quiet, private places to escape, while a downstairs bedroom adds even more versatility. A graceful staircase leads to three additional bedrooms, including the captivating primary suite. The upstairs family room provides another place to gather and can also serve as a luxurious guest retreat or private office. French doors open to a huge brick patio offering tremendous possibilities for outdoor entertaining, while the secluded pool and spa enjoy panoramic views. Few homes are as distinctive or offer such a compelling combination of charm, privacy, architectural character and lifestyle. Instantly recognizable, its coveted lower Lunada Bay location just a block from the ocean, makes it even more exceptional.
Lunada Bay, located between Palos Verdes Drive West and the Pacific Ocean, is a coastal and residential Palos Verdes Estates neighborhood with blufftop trails and pocket beaches. The scene concentrates around Lunada Bay Plaza at Palos Verdes Drive West and Via Cañada, where coffee counters, small boutiques, and low-key patios set the daily rhythm. Local pillars include Lunada Bay Market, The Original Rinaldi’s Deli & Cafe, and the Palos Verdes Art Center. Streets curve past midcentury ranch homes and Mediterranean-inspired houses, often framed by mature landscaping. Shoreline paths trace the cliffs above tidepools and surf breaks, with wide ocean horizons. Nearby schools, parks, and the plaza keep errands and outdoor time closely linked.
