There's a nice separation of public
spaces—big arched entrances lead to a
private game room that adjoins the yard.
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."
