If you wish to expand the floorplan, there
are options. "The owners had two sets of
plans made, one of which has already been
approved by the Design Review Board"
explains Harvey. "So a new buyer can increase
the home to double its size—or do something
completely different." There is a caveat, the
agent points out, in the form of a utility ease-
ment. A portion of the property, closest to the
street and consisting of a section of grassy
open yard, must remain as-is for purposes
of utility firms who may need access to it.
The property's address, however, has a
greater-than-usual openness due to having
neighbors on only one side. The north
side is completely unobstructed, grant-
ing wide-angle views that extend to the
Santa Monica Mountains and Point Dume,
along with the Queen's Necklace, which
sparkles with tiny lights in the night hours.
This open space consists of green parkland;
a protected greenbelt that can never be
built upon, with blufftop walking paths and
plenty of space to stretch out and move.
The property's location vis a vis nature
and local conveniences is yet another posi-
tive. The shops and eateries of charming
Malaga Cove are a 5-minute drive—or
10-minute bike ride—and you can reach
Redondo Beach in about 10 minutes.
There's remarkable walkability too; to the
beach and dining, to the market and even
schools. A local elementary, middle school
and high school, for instance, are all within
a 5-minute drive.
Back at the property, once you enter its
graceful wood entrance you're in a place of
sweeping ocean views and beautifully land-
scaped grounds. A place where you can
wake up to coffee on the open-air porch,
observe sea life while fixing dinner and
wind down the day in front of a flickering
outdoor fireplace. Whether spent blissfully
alone, or in the company of friends and
family, at this Paseo Del Mar home you're
in constant connection with a splendid
natural world—endless blue waters and
skies included.
