16485 El Hito Place

El Hito means 'the Milestone,' and that's what this home really is. A stunning property tucked into an idyllic cul-de-sac surrounded by natural beauty, this 4-bedroom + office/den and 3.5 bathroom in Pacific Palisades is as impressive as it is welcoming. The home, with a jaw-dropping view of the Pacific Ocean, has a one-of-a-kind style, presenting a seamless blend of Craftsman and Cape Cod. Surrounded by concrete and Hardie Shingle Siding, not only did the home escape harm in the fires, but miraculously, the entire street was almost completely untouched. Inside is an impressive array of heavy dark wood floors, exposed wood beams above, Bluestone tiles, an enormous stone fireplace in the formal Living Room, and Craftsman design details throughout. French Doors open from the private office to the exterior, allowing natural light to stream in, and the Formal Dining Room flows to the casual breakfast nook and Chef's Kitchen- each space enhanced by glass windows/doors extending to the backyard. The home was recently remodeled, expanded, and updated- the kitchen has new Viking stainless steel appliances and an abundance of storage and food prep space. Situated on a .62-acre lot, the 2733 sq ft home has an expansive backyard that includes a vast stretch of grass, patios, a stone fireplace, a variety of entertaining areas, and a fenced-in hillside that provides a dizzying array of beautiful wildflowers and mature citrus trees. Upstairs are the family's sleeping quarters, each comfortable and spacious. The Primary Bedroom features two closets (one of which a walk-in), high vaulted ceilings, attached designer bathroom and a large balcony that beckons you outdoors to best appreciate the inspiring view of the ocean. A patio with an exterior staircase could easily be used for morning yoga or midday meditation. The possibilities are endless. Additional amenities: 2-car garage, alarm system, filtered water throughout the home,extra-large generator, skylights, and outdoor shower. A truly special property- a milestone in the revitalized Palisades that is not to be missed.
