    What's special

    Perched in prestigious Lower Malaga Cove, this extensively remodeled coastal residence showcases breathtaking panoramic views spanning the Santa Monica Bay, sandy beaches, crashing waves, sailboats, the Santa Monica Mountains, and unforgettable sunsets. Available for the first time since 1998, the home has been thoughtfully redesigned with crisp white interiors, elegant finishes, and walls of glass that place the spectacular views at center stage. The light-filled floor plan offers four bedrooms, including a main-level primary suite, providing comfort and flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the stunning chef's kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, a built-in refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and generous workspace, seamlessly connecting to the home's inviting living and dining areas. The lower level includes three additional bedrooms and a spacious family room, creating an ideal retreat for family, guests, or multi-generational living. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with a private garden, barbecue area, expansive entertaining deck, and view terrace designed for enjoying the coastal setting year-round. Ideally located near scenic bluff trails, award-winning schools, charming Malaga Cove Plaza, and pristine beaches, this rare offering presents an exceptional opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of Palos Verdes Estates' most coveted neighborhoods.
