or lavish fête. Guests can congregate among the home's many
indoor-outdoor spaces, or head to the lower entertaining level.
(There's an elevator to whisk them between floors.) Here, wines
are chosen from the 1,000-bottle cellar and served at the white
marble bar, or enjoyed fireside in the living room. "You could
easily have a hundred guests here," says Jack Gillespie of this
cheerful, private floor, which includes a soundproof theater for
hosting movie nights.
Head to the top level of the three-level residence, which is home
to four of the six bedrooms, all en suite. The primary suite feels
like a luxurious penthouse, with an expansive balcony overlook-
ing the ocean and a classically outfitted spa bathroom. Here,
gleaming porcelain floors and plentiful Carrara marble create
an atmosphere of opulence, and there's an oversized tub where
you can soak over the vivid glow of sunset along the shore. A
private office is also part of the primary suite; it's a peaceful
space where you can punctuate work with breaks on the beach-
view balcony, complete with fresh gusts of sea air. "You get the
best of the views," says Gillespie-Waldron of the home. "During
the daytime you see from the tip of Palos Verdes all the way to
Santa Monica. At night you enjoy all of the glowing lights on the
Peninsula and along the California coastline. It's captivating."
At this property, the front-row scenes of sand, ocean and sky are
always new—seen from different vantage points, and captured
by the home's countless windows, balconies and open-air
spaces. There's views of the Queen's Necklace too; that glam-
orous twinkle of lights that follows the silhouette of the Santa
Monica Bay after dark. But here, at one of its most show-stop-
ping homes, beauty goes beyond the blush of first glances, and
is found well beyond a grand-looking exterior. "The presence
that this home has on the corner; it really captures your eye and
makes an extraordinary first impression" states Gillespie-Wal-
dron. "But stepping inside the property and experiencing its
grandeur—that's what really does it justice."
