A landmark oceanfront chateau with distinctive architecture by famed architect Gerard Colcord on a 33,000 sq ft lot. It offers a vast and deep-set backyard with privacy. It has 7 bdrm/9ba and is convenient for everything SoCal offers. With panoramic views of the California coastlines- from the beach cities to Malibu and white water, this home embodies Palos Verdes Estates' prestige with its excellent location. Listen to the waves, watch the sails and seagulls go by, and enjoy the blue ocean during the day and twinkling city lights during the night, which is the famed "Queen's necklace view!" The main floor has a living room, formal dining room, library/family room, spacious kitchen, pantry, and a vast primary bedroom wing, with a spacious his & her bath, which opens up to the garden and pool for a morning or evening swim. Also, the living room and library/family room all have tall French doors that open to the view terrace. The lower level offers one bedroom with a bathroom, a wine cellar, and a handsome entertainment room with a rock fireplace. On the 2nd level, there are five bedrooms, all with private bathrooms except for one and another family/playroom. Further highlights include custom-made wood floors, three fireplaces, and a recently remodeled kitchen with all top-of-line appliances and baths. It is fully fenced and gated with a huge motor court. Entertain from the terrace with magnificent views and privacy. Originally christened Les Ailes de la Mer('The Wing of the Sea'), renowned architect Gerard Colcord crafted it; he was known as a "Hollywood Society Architect," designing traditional homes and shying away from Modernism, he worked with one client at a time, just to name a few who owned homes with his design: Dean Martin, Robert Wagner, Bob Newhart, Richard Chamberlain, Harrison Ford, JoBeth Williams, John Pasquin, Madonna, and Rudolph Valentino. It features hand-sewn form and style authentic to French craftsmanship and architectural tradition: plaster ceiling moldings, custom-milled pieces, lead glass windows, parquetry flooring, wrought iron, etc. It is truly a rare opportunity not to be missed.
