East meets West in grandiose style! This one-time classic colonial house w/ long driveway was completely redesigned to replicate a New England Cape Cod by legendary PV architect, Russ Barto. Working in conjunction with Baldwin Construction, this home was taken down to the studs 11 years ago with no expense spared. As you walk in the property, it has a very classy elegance that is evident throughout. A black and white motif exemplifies the clean, sharp lines of the home. All the living areas and the master bedroom w/ ensuite are on the first floor. The 4th bedroom was turned into a family room with a door leading out to the back yard. The chef's kitchen showcases top of the line SS appliances, custom cabinetry, built-ins and has a large window to emit all the natural light. A glass statement- worthy staircase leads to the 2nd floor. Upstairs, the 2 spacious bedrooms are unique and whimsical. One has a mirror wall with a ballet bar, built-ins, planked, peaked wood ceiling and large windows. The 2nd bedroom has built-in queen bunk beds, 2 sets of drawers flush with the wall, a toy chest and a ladder that leads to an area w/ a city light view that can be used as a play-house, fort, or cozy space to curl up with a book. One of the unique features of this property is the design of the land. As you go outside, there is a lovely grassy area and a large lower level. The 9756 sq. ft. lot is all usable. Although the garage has been turned into an art room with sliding barn doors and lots of storage, it still functions as an area to keep a car with the door and electronic opener still operable. Price includes approved expansion, guest house and landscape design plans that have expired and will need to be re-submitted for new approval. Easy access to shopping, entertainment, schools and LAX is just 13 miles away. Hurry to be the lucky new owner of this amazing one-of-a-kind property in Valmonte, one of the most sought-after areas in Palos Verdes Estates. It's the perfect place to call home!
