Property Description
Welcome to 536 Via Media, a timeless coastal retreat in one of the most prestigious enclaves of Palos Verdes Estates-Lower Malaga Cove. Ideally situated just steps from the PV Beach & Athletic Club and RAT Beach, this home offers exceptional walkability and seamless access on and off the Peninsula. Above all, it boasts the view-sweeping, unobstructed panoramas of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Bay, and the iconic Queen's Necklace by day, transitioning into a dazzling city light display by night.
Originally custom built in 1986 in the quintessential Palos Verdes Spanish style and thoughtfully remodeled since, the home blends classic charm with modern luxury. Recent updates include a beautifully reimagined kitchen and bathrooms, with top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, elegant finishes, and refined details. The home is also grandfathered in larger and taller than what would be approved by the PV Homes Association and planning commission today-providing valuable upside not otherwise achievable for similar properties in the neighborhood.
The curb appeal is striking: smooth white stucco, a traditional clay tile roof, arched doorways, and a stately paver driveway anchored by a decorative fountain. A gated entry leads to the main level, where ocean views greet you from nearly every room. The formal living room, with French doors and arched transom windows, opens to the front patio and frames breathtaking views of the coastline. The dining room, adorned with a graceful chandelier, flows into the kitchen with its breakfast nook, marble backsplash, generous counters, and abundant storage. Both spaces open to an expansive brick terrace, perfect for entertaining against a backdrop of ocean vistas and Fourth of July fireworks.
This level also features a guest bedroom and a tastefully remodeled ¾ bath that doubles as the powder room. Upstairs are three en-suite bedrooms and a laundry room with double washers and dryers. Two suites serve as primaries, each showcasing the most dramatic views in the home.
The lower level offers a private one-bedroom suite, mudroom, and access to the spacious three-car garage. The backyard is a true oasis-complete with a built-in BBQ, fire pit, and sparkling pool and spa, all surrounded by lush landscaping on a 6,724 sq ft lot.
With its iconic location, exceptional layout, modern upgrades, and panoramic views, 536 Via Media is a rare offering that captures the very best of Palos Verdes coastal living.
