aseo Del Mar is a destination
unto itself. A premier street of Palos
Verdes Estates that's a place of
majestic homes and commanding
views, with tall palm trees fanning
peaceful streets with sweeping perspectives
of the Pacific Ocean. It's a grand view that's
made even grander at 2101 Paseo Del Mar, a
lush green haven with over 115 feet of private
blufftop offering front-row views of blue waters
and the vivid wildlife along the coast.
The property lives like a petite compound—
private and elegant and filled with invigorating
outdoor spaces. Central is the roughly
2,815-square-foot residence, Mediterranean
in style with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
"It sits right on the bluffs of Paseo del Mar, so it
has a spectacular view," points out real estate
agent Claire Harvey. "Not many homes are right
on the cliff, so it's a rare opportunity."
Blufftop Living
Five years ago, an extensive overhaul
brought this classic Palos Verdes home in sync
with a thoroughly modern style of living. The
interior is airy and bright, styled in a polished
coastal mode, with white oak floors and vaulted
beam ceilings that play against pure white
walls. "You can really take in all of the ocean
views," says Harvey.
Large picture windows and sliding glass
doors connect main gathering spaces with the
blufftop environment. Whether entertaining
in the dining room or unwinding in the mellow
living room, you're linked to fresh ocean air and
a carousel of changing scenes, from the golden
haze of dawn to the color-splashed hours of
sunset. "You can even whale watch from the
kitchen windows," says Harvey. Central to the
kitchen, a delightfully open space with gleam-
ing Wolf appliances, is a high-sheen stone
island where you can dine while looking out
at the horizon.
An open-air porch extends outdoor living
across the ocean-facing front of the home,
creating more possibilities for quiet moments
amid the natural splendor of the place. And
options for entertaining. The lot size of 18,480
square feet, or approximately .40 acres, in
tandem with a generous car park and open,
broad yard lends itself to sunlit gatherings and
even grand parties.
So too, do sculpted al fresco spaces that
deepen the feeling that this is a private realm
tucked away from the rest of the world. On the
south side of the house you can practice your
shot on the manicured putting green or watch
sunset colors mingle with the flickering flames of
the outdoor fireplace. There's a pool where you
can swim while soaking up views of slender palm
trees and the sky's striking hues through the
wood pergola. "It was a complete remodel," the
