At the other end of the house is a stylish domestic hub consisting of a fireplaced family room and a big kitchen; the latter a sun-splashed gathering space with a dizzy- ing stock of professional amenities, from a triple-stack of Wolf ovens to a gleam- ing 6-burner range, also by Wolf, that's equipped with two more ovens. One of the most distinctive rooms in the house, the kitchen features hefty antique doors, Moorish in style and hand-painted turquoise green. "The entire kitchen was built around those doors," Forbes points out. Their unique hue is echoed in the farmhouse-style range hood and a generous center island that's topped with a glossy, veined stone. ("It feels like silk," Forbes says of the material.) Consistent with the home's size is its impressive scale. Ceilings soar, public spaces are airy and sunlit, enhanced by abundant glass, including half a dozen ceil- ing skylights, and there's a nice selection of moods and atmospheres to enjoy throughout the property. "You can be entertaining in one part of the home, or you can find a little nook somewhere to hide away," says the agent. Even the uppermost floor, which contains five bedrooms (all are en-suite, with colorful designer bathrooms, and most have balco- nies), is ideally spread out by a broad catwalk that links the various wings, including one with a plush den and an office filled with built-in study areas and bookcases. "It's very rare to find something in this price point that's close to brand-new, and has this size, with this many bedrooms," Forbes explains. Adding to the home's positives is an elegance that feels durable and not too precious due to the homeowners' thought- ful selection of materials. There are colorful tiles, thick wood planks and designer stone, tile and cabinetry everywhere you look. In all, the property is an ideal canvas for the kind of elevated domestic lifestyle desired by many: Spacious and smartly sheltered while equipped with a practical-luxe suite of amenities. In addition to a new smart-home and security package, for instance, the home has a three-car garage and parking for plenty of guests. And schools are nearby, as are charming cafes and grocery stores, all less than 10 minutes by car. "In Palos Verdes real estate, it's often the case that you either have something new—or you have a great location—or you have a view," declares Forbes. "Here you have it all."
