of California Real Estate Alliance
Sold for $3,500,000
explains Buchmann, who intended it to grant the area maximum seclusion
while also strengthening the home's relationship to the outdoors.
Like the rest of the home, landscaping was meticulously planned. "e goal,"
says Taroni, "was to complement the architecture with the combination of an
aesthetic value, and the California native landscape palette." Eager to keep
the property consistent with the landscape of Palos Verdes, Taroni planted
ornamental grass, a native meadow and fruit trees in the yard, and designed an
earthy bluestone pathway that reaches the front door. A thoughtful touch are
the many outdoor vignettes created to be seen and enjoyed from the indoors.
"We created viewpoints throughout the house that allow you to look outside
at something beautiful," he explains.
So tailor-made is the home for the local market that it was sold while
still under construction. "When the home was put into escrow, it was just
sticks, and concrete, and dirt," points out Henkel, who was sought out
by developer Larry Johnson, a friend from high
school, to help from the project's start. "I found
the lot," he says, "and Larry Johnson did a fantastic
job of finding the right people to surround himself
with." Henkel drummed up early support for the
home via the MLS and hosted private showings.
ere was a lot of early interest in the home, and
it was on Henkel to convey the rewards of a house
that did not yet exist.
In the end, amidst multiple offers the home was
purchased by a young family who brought home a
new baby two days after moving in, and are excited
to entertain and barbecue throughout the year, not
to mention be able to take that short jaunt from the
kitchen and into the pool. "It's a remarkable place to
raise a family," points out Henkel, "and that's what
they'll be doing there."
