Contemporary California Lists for $16.9M in Palos Verdes Estates

With unobstructed, massive views of the Pacific Ocean and coastline, stretching the entire Queen’s Necklace from PV to Santa Monica and Malibu, this California contemporary home was remodeled in 2016 and now offers a rare plot of real estate in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Featuring oversized windows that frame stunning ocean and coastline views from almost every room, the home includes a courtyard-style yard as well as a spacious backyard. Listed by agent Chris Adlam of Sotheby's International Realty, the estate lies perched on the hilltop with an outdoor fire pit and outdoor sofas ready for its guests to enjoy the epic sunset.

As long-time residents of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the owners of the Paseo La Cresta Residence had yearned for a home that took full advantage of their property’s impressive ocean views. Perched high on a bluff, the existing 1980’s Spanish-style house originally had a desirable traditional courtyard layout, but the rooms were dark, uninviting, and closed off from the view. Eager to make their dream a reality, the owners challenged the design team to transform the residence into a bright and airy contemporary home, one perfect for hosting groups both big and small. Well-framed views of the ocean are now set against a palette of white and charcoal plaster, warm mahogany, Basalt tile, and a slate roof.

The central courtyard was enhanced by a new koi pond, teak bridge, and metal trellis that run along the main entry sequence from the motor court. Inside, a new plaster and glass volume showcases the owners’ substantial wine collection. The exterior walls on either side of the central great room, one opening to the courtyard and the other framing a stunning ocean view, are now almost entirely made of glass. Brimming with natural light, the residence is now an elegant retreat with its unparalleled ocean view front and center. Amenities feature an 18-foot kitchen island, 2,500 bottle wine tower, gated motor court, mahogany ceilings, saltwater pool and spa, putting green, koi pond.

Future owners can take in the stunning location atop the prestigious New York Hill neighborhood in Palos Verdes Estates on Southern California's affluent Palos Verdes Peninsula. To learn more, contact Chris Adlam of Sotheby's International Realty at 310-493-7216.
