Originally constructed in 1938, this charming Tuscan styled home was rebuilt and remodeled in 1997-2000 by renowned architect, Edward Carson Beal. The result is a whimsical and beautifully designed home. Starting from the moment you walk up to the front door, you’ll notice the commanding stone staircase, a soothing fountain planted with flowers and lush landscaping. There are beautiful reclaimed hardwood and custom tile floors throughout the house and custom tile work in every bathroom. The faux finishes and stenciling on the woodwork are charming to look at and gargoyles and fairies can be found in two of the bedrooms. The cook’s kitchen overlooks the dining area and boasts a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and custom cabinetry and counters. The French doors in the kitchen lead to a private front patio which has beautiful views of the ocean, golf course, and Palos Verdes hills. There are 4 bedrooms, each with a private bath, an upstairs laundry room and the romantic master bedroom features a fireplace, a seating area and French doors to a balcony. The step down living room easily accommodates a piano and has additional views of the ocean and golf course and hills. Outside, there is a courtyard covered by a pergola with a built-in BBQ area and a pool with a fountain and water slide. The home backs up to a wonderful walking trail, has air conditioning, a basement wine cellar/butler’s pantry and there is extensive built-in storage throughout the house.
