urning onto Paseo Del Mar, you
enter a different world. There's a
particular quality of light— —the way
the wide, leisured street and estate-
sized lots open to unobstructed
Pacific views, allowing homes to seem to float
above the bluff rather than sit upon it. This is
one of California's most beautiful addresses, a
stretch of coast in Palos Verdes Estates where
the landscape is the star, and a collection of
grand homes celebrate their setting.
At 2736 Paseo Del Mar, there's a red-carpet
welcome to the grounds. The broad property
unfolds from the street with an almost ceremo-
nial grace: a broad expanse of manicured lawn
anchored by thoughtfully planted hedges that
separate this private world from the street beyond.
Verdant and welcoming, the one-half acre
corner lot announces itself as significant. Rather
than being bookended by neighbors on either
side, the property stands apart and commands
an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean—a
vista that becomes the defining feature of every
thoughtfully designed room.
"Paseo Del Mar is arguably one of the most
prestigious coastal address in California—and
this corner lot represents the convergence of
everything that makes it legendary," notes real
estate agent Chris Adlam. "Across the street sits
forever-preserved open space, so the home's
views are unblockable."
Behind the inviting, charmed exterior lies
a design rooted in the fact that coastal luxury
is about fresh-air living. Every amenity—from
the 50-foot pool to the welcoming loggia to
the crackling fire pit—enables effortless enter-
taining and a constant connection to this
extraordinary coastal setting.
SHUTTERS ON THE PENINSULA
The shingle-style residence—spanning a gener-
ous 7,659 square feet, with six bedrooms—is
a welcoming sight. Light sand hues offer vivid
contrast to white trim and a second-story balcony
lined with full-scale doors. Pale shingles are the
earthy complement that sets off the bold blues
and greens of sea, sky, and land. Designed in the
spirit of the iconic Shutters on the Beach hotel,
this Palos Verdes Estates residence emerges
as something between a private resort and an
exceedingly well-crafted gathering place.
"What strikes people immediately is the
restraint of the design," says Adlam. "There's
no over-styling, no trend-chasing—just excep-
tional craftsmanship, generous proportions,
and a complete understanding of living well
along the California coast."
You enter through a gracious foyer, bright
and white, that immediately orients you toward
the ocean. To one side, a stunning living room
