While Palos Verdes Estates is known more for Spanish architecture dating back to the Spanish Land Grants of the Sepulvedas, the Bixbys then bought what is now known as the Palos Verdes Peninsula and then came Frank Vanderlip. This is where the uniqueness of “Margate” comes in. Vanderlip, envisioning his dream of the “American Riviera” in the early 1900s, intended to keep a portion of what is now Palos Verdes Estates, not Spanish in architectural design, but rather Olde English. You know you’re in a different place when you realize, “Hey, I don’t see Via this or Via that…I see Addison, Chiswick, Cloyden, Dalton etc” It’s this uniqueness accented by beautiful homes, walking distance to the bluffs along Paseo del Mar and Palos Verdes High School that makes this Lower Lunada Bay home such a special value. Let’s talk about the house itself. You’ve seen homes “remodeled” in the ’00s, 90s or 80s and homes that are in their pretty much original condition from the early ’70s like this 4BR + Office home. Realistically you’re doing the same amount of renovation to current standards. And so is the case with this home, we’ve priced it at a value that you can feel comfortable and safe to make your renovations and still come out ahead. Talk to your Realtor(r) to have them ask me about all our presale home inspection reports. We want you secure in your purchase decision and confident to move forward. We know you will feel the day’s stress wash away driving home to 1700 Dalton Rd.
