of access to grassy outdoor play areas and a central family room with
built-in study areas. "e main living space of the home, including
the master, enjoy ocean views," points out Kaminsky. "Yet when you
want to privately entertain friends and family you can escape to the
yard and pool area—which is completely private and enjoys south and
west-facing sun exposure."
roughout the home, the open and airy scale of the rooms aid in
emphasizing its wholly classic atmosphere. It's a luxurious place, yes,
but there's an effortless flow when it comes to everyday living due to the
design; the home successfully melds with the outdoors via a network
of oversized windows, balconies and floor-to-ceiling doors. At nearly
every turn one is immersed in a collage of fair skies and sunshine set
against ocean, pool and lush green landscaping.
"e lot is exceptionally wide for the area and allows the home to
majestically sit across the lot," notes Kaminsky. "It's a corner lot which
also provides much privacy." Tall hedge rows at the borders of the
estate further enhance its secluded, private feel. One imagines the
endless fun-filled days and nights at such a place, where the grounds
have been designed to be as thoroughly enjoyed as the home's interior
spaces. Outdoor areas are also where the classical feel of the estate is
particularly strong: ere's a fresh-air grilling station and a fire-pit
lounge area, along with a beautiful, palm-fringed pool—nicely sized at
65 feet—that's linked to a big, bubbling spa.
"e benefits of the location are that it's a 24-hour guarded community
on the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes," points out Kaminsky. When one
wishes to step beyond the estate, he adds, there are beautiful vistas,
walking trails and golf galore at the nearby Los Verdes Golf Course
and Trump International Golf Club, both 10 minutes away. e
nearest freeway, the 110, can be reached in about 20 minutes by car.
But it's hard to imagine wanting to leave this place—a private, luxurious
haven surrounded by so much unbridled California nature. It was the
French architect Le Corbusier who thought of a house as "a machine for
living." Standing on the grassy lawn, looking over the estate's endless
balconies, blue skies and classic architecture—one is struck by the
grand feel of the place, and the superb machine it must be for those
lucky enough to do their living in it. "When I stand in this home," says
Kaminsky, "I only think of two things: success and happiness."
