''Y
ou can see all the way to
Point Dume," describes real
estate agent Gerard Bisig-
nano, "and all along the
Santa Monica coastline to the
Queen's necklace." The soft twinkling of lights
tracing the shoreline of the Beach Cities after
dark, the Queen's necklace is a sight that never
gets old—and at this glass-front home on Paseo
del Mar, it's a perspective that's forever yours.
"The home is located across the street from open
parkland," the agent explains, "which gives you
a permanently unobstructed view."
The property has been crafted around these
wide-screen coastal views—from the approxi-
mately 4,300-square-foot residence to ample
grounds that measure about one-quarter of an
acre. It starts at the generous front yard, where
a U-shaped car pad clad in smooth stone tile
welcomes you. At the entrance, a raised patio
has been dressed as an outdoor living area where
you can sip morning coffee while overlooking
palm trees and ocean; decompress over the
color-streaked hues of sunset; and later, stargaze
while warmed by the blaze of the fire feature.
WAKE TO VIEWS
Or it starts even earlier. "You wake up to an
amazing perspective," Bisignano points out.
On the home's second floor there are two
bedrooms, including a roomy primary suite,
that are favored with walls of glass and a
lengthy patio where you can take in uniquely
high-vantage perspectives of sea and coastline.
"It's the way the house is angled, which takes
advantage of views of the coastline," he details.
"So at night you can lie in bed and see the lights
of Malibu, the Santa Monica coastline and all
of the Queen's necklace."
It's not just views, but a coastal lifestyle
that's celebrated at this 5-bedroom, 6-bath-
room residence, located along one of the
nation's most beautiful streets—Paseo del Mar.
Described by Bisignano as "the A-list street of
Palos Verdes Estates," the broad, sunny way
features luxurious homes and front-row views
of the Pacific Ocean, along with tall, waving
palm trees and miles of meandering California
coastline. The absence of neighbors between
you and the blufftop makes for an even more
expanded feeling of spaciousness: Before you
is only a protected greenbelt that invites you
for strolls along its easy pathways.
A dozen years ago, an extensive remodel
added more square footage and fashioned
the property into a retreat where you live in
tandem with the outdoors—and enjoy enter-
taining and daily life with ease. Notable is the
presence of floor-to-ceiling, accordion glass
that opens the home to the glory of sunlight
and ocean breezes, linking you closer to this
striking coastal environment. "You open them
