Description

Welcome to 1816 Paseo Del Mar — a stunning custom-built Tuscan-inspired villa on one of the most coveted streets in Palos Verdes Estates, sited directly across from the coastal bluffs for unmatched proximity to the ocean. Built in 2019, this newer-construction estate spans over a half-acre and offers panoramic ocean views from the second floor, with the main level and grounds designed for resort-style privacy and entertaining. Grand double doors open to a dramatic two-story foyer, anchored by a striking crystal chandelier and dual sweeping staircases with custom wrought iron detailing. The open floor plan continues into an expansive living room with soaring ceilings and a grand fireplace, flowing seamlessly to a wet bar and a temperature-controlled glass wine cellar. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a large island topped in imported Carrara marble. The main level also includes a guest suite with en-suite bath, an office with attached bath, four bathrooms total, and a home theater made for entertaining or family movie nights. Upstairs — accessible by three staircases or a private elevator — wide hallways overlook the grand living space below. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a fireplace, automated window coverings, a covered balcony perfect for sunset views, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, dual-head walk-in shower, custom cabinetry, Carrara marble inlaid floors, and his-and-hers vanities. The oversized walk-in closet includes custom built-ins and dual center islands. Four additional en-suite bedrooms, each finished with custom tile and marble baths, complete the upper level. Two share a private connecting balcony, and one is configured as a home gym with a Tonal wall unit and Peloton equipment. The grounds are built for entertaining at every turn: a detached casita with fireplace and TV, a connected casita with its own fireplace, a courtyard fireplace, a covered BBQ area, a resort-style pool with connected spa, and a dramatic waterfall feature set on additional adjoining land. Over $500,000 in upgrades complete the estate, including a $150K Control4 smart home system (lighting, HVAC, security, sound, and fire monitoring), fire sprinklers, whole-house water filtration and softening, a Tesla charger, a $150K backyard waterfall and landscaping, and $50K in automated drapery and shades.
