Charming English classical, spacious, family home located in the sought after 24-hour guard gated community called “The Ranch” in the coastal Southern California peninsula of Palos Verdes.
This sophisticated home, which could easily be transformed into a Coastal Montecito Estate, is on a serene, almost half-acre, private lot with a gated backyard.
When approaching the home, you will immediately be struck by the gorgeous landscaped front lawn, Juliet balcony, wide driveway, and 3-car garage.
Double doors open into the craftsman’s herringbone hardwood floored great room and dining room with large built-in armoires. A split-level floor plan with intricate detailing and wrought-iron staircases includes 3 bedrooms upstairs plus an oversized art studio with LOTS of storage (great kids playroom or man cave !).

The luxurious primary bedroom features a fireplace, two walk-in closets, marble bathroom with jacuzzi tub and shower, and French doors that open up to the backyard.
On the entry level, lies the den with a fireplace imported from India and a chef’s dream kitchen designed by the well-known local architect, Ed Beall. The kitchen presents a La Cornue 4-burner range with a center hot plate, double Miele oven, 2 built-in KitchenAid refrigerators, 2 islands with Rainforest Green countertops, handcrafted maple wood cabinets, a hammered copper farm house sink and utility sink. This designer kitchen has seeded glass cabinetry soaring 13 feet with ample room to display specialty pieces. The breakfast sitting area includes a walk-in pantry, additional custom cabinetry with a wine fridge, and space for a 6-seater table.
The kitchen windows allow for abundant natural light and the French doors open out to a Disneyland resort style pool with stone grotto, water feature, and hot tub. The large tree-lined lawn is perfect for entertaining and sports a dog run on either side of the home.
