953 Via Del Monte

Welcome to 953 Via Del Monte, a gated estate home with remarkable Queen’s Necklace, ocean, and city lights views! Words cannot do it justice; you have to see it to believe it! As you drive through the gates, this stately home makes a great first impression. As you enter, your eyes will be drawn to the living room’s two-story ceilings with floor to ceiling windows facing the amazing view! A dramatic marble-faced fireplace adds to the room’s allure, and the balcony offers a beautiful setting to enjoy a glass of wine and yes, THAT VIEW! The spacious dining room overlooking the private pool and yard adjoins a well-laid out kitchen with high-end appliances. A breakfast nook is there for informal dining, and the combination laundry room and ¾ bath is perfectly placed for access to the pool. Also on the main floor is a family room with a wet bar, beverage fridge, built-ins and a cozy fireplace…and THAT VIEW!!!!! Open the doors and let the ocean breeze blow or enjoy a cool drink and the view from the balcony. Upstairs, the primary suite offers beamed ceilings, a fireplace, a balcony…and THAT VIEW! The ensuite bath starts with a dressing area and leads to a huge bath with two separate vanity areas, a large stall shower and a jetted soaking tub. There are 3 additional bedrooms on this floor, one of which is equipped as a home office. These bedrooms all have a balcony and overlook the beautiful backyard and pool. The main bath features a double vanity and tub/shower combo. There is direct access to the 2-car garage via stairs off the kitchen area. As if this is not enough, the backyard is an entertainers delight with a beautiful pool and spa, a barbecue island with fridge, a shaded patio/dining area adjacent to the BBQ, and an adorable pergola for added charm and relaxation. The yard is very private and surrounded with mature trees. This is the perfect setting for your “staycation”! Yes, it’s a tad “vintage”, but pair this with a convenient location near shopping, top rated Palos Verdes schools and a short trip to the Beach Cities, and this is a place you’ll be thrilled to call home.
