About this property
Nestled within the prestigious Portuguese Bend enclave of Rancho Palos Verdes, this expansive property presents a rare opportunity to own in one of the South Bay's most sought-after coastal communities. Known for its private setting, equestrian lifestyle & proximity to scenic coastline, this location offers a unique blend of tranquility and natural beauty. A double-door entry opens to a bright, open floor plan with wide-plank engineered wood flooring throughout the main living areas. The dining room is accented by a distinctive barrel ceiling, while the living room features recessed lighting, a fireplace & large picture windows overlooking the front grounds. Sliding glass doors create seamless access to the backyard & enhance the indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen offers a large center island with stone countertops, abundant cabinetry, recessed lighting & a full suite of stainless steel Cosmo appliances. A breakfast nook & additional patio access further extend the living space. Just beyond the kitchen, you'll find a guest bedroom, a 3/4 bathroom & a laundry room with storage & direct access to both the backyard & driveway. The bedroom wing includes multiple well-sized rooms with ample closet space. One bedroom features an ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed shower that also includes hallway access leading to the second bedroom. The primary suite offers a private retreat with skylights, backyard access, multiple closets & an expansive ensuite bath. Highlights include a jetted soaking tub with custom tile surround, dual vanities with vessel sinks, a separate shower & a large walk-in closet with built-ins. The backyard is designed for relaxation & entertaining, featuring a pool with a surrounding deck, an upper yard area & a fire pit space. A detached studio ADU near the pool provides added flexibility, complete with its own bathroom, living area, sliding glass door & in-wall air conditioning. Please note: the property has been impacted by the Rancho Palos Verdes land movement, resulting in visible cracking & structural shifting. Additionally, while public water service is available, gas & electrical utilities are not currently connected. Power solutions such as generators & propane systems are commonly utilized in the area. With its expansive lot, flexible layout & premier coastal location near Terranea Resort & Trump National Golf Club, this property offers a compelling opportunity to reimagine & invest in one of Rancho Palos Verdes' coveted communities
