1509 Via Castilla Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274

Behind private gates and past a tranquil fountain, this home is a totally custom Palos Verdes Estates showpiece defined by huge, unobstructed views-sweeping the ocean, the LA Basin, and Malibu in one dramatic, west-facing panorama. A grand arrival sets the tone, leading into an elegant interior with gorgeous stone floors, soaring ceilings, rich moldings and beautifully finished details throughout. Walls of windows line the west side of the home, capturing the coastline and city lights from morning through sunset. Designed for both formal entertaining and easy everyday living, the main level features a formal living room anchored by a fireplace, plus a refined dining room beneath a sparkling chandelier. French doors open to a view patio-perfect for cocktails at golden hour. The kitchen is equally impressive, offering an eat-in breakfast area, center island, new appliances and seamless flow into the casual family room with its own fireplace and a bar area. A grand staircase with scrolling railings descends to the primary suite level, creating a true retreat. Enter through double doors to a private seating room, charming French doors that open to the patio, warm wood floors, built-in cabinetry and a cozy fireplace. The spa-like bath includes two separate vanities, a large soaking tub, an oversized separate shower and generous his-and-hers closets. Two additional en-suite bedrooms on this level enjoy stunning view outlooks, while a large laundry room offers abundant custom cabinetry and storage. On the lowest level, a flexible, stand-alone living area is perfect for guests, in-laws, or entertaining-complete with a kitchen, family room and an en-suite bedroom. Step outside to a resort-style backyard with a striking pool featuring a multi-level waterfall, spa, outdoor kitchen with sink and BBQ with stone counters, outdoor fireplace, as well as a fire pit for nights under the stars. Below, the terraced grounds include multiple exotic fruit trees. Totally private and thoughtfully appointed, the home also includes a finished, carpeted storage area on the second level and direct access to a triple-car garage-an extraordinary coastal estate with stunning ocean views.
