Perched high above the corner of Chelsea and Chiswick, looking out to the iconic PV cliffs and the ocean beyond, sits a grande dame of Lower Lunada Bay. A home that everyone who knows the area recognizes as something special. With French doors throughout the main floor that open to the grounds, air from the ocean blows through this flowing floor plan. Here, inside and outside begin to blur. Visitors and family meander from multiple living and entertainment spaces, drift from interior to exterior without even noticing. This is just one way by which this home takes full advantage of the Palos Verdes spring verdure - the abundant fragrance and shocking color. There are also the second-level balconies from which you can see all those gathered in and around the pool, the generous number of windows throughout that tend to remain open all day. That is, until you watch the sun set from your front patio and those chilly ocean winds begin to drift in off the water. So, you shut the doors and windows and prepare for your evening – perhaps a fire in one of the three fireplaces? Or a warm beverage you prepare on the Lacanche range? There are only good choices to be made here – paradise in Lunada Bay.
