An extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of architectural and artistic history in Rancho Palos Verdes. Designed by renowned architect Walter Davis"”best known for the iconic La Venta Inn"”this custom 4-bedroom + bonus room, 3-bath residence was originally built for his son and today is home to celebrated Palos Verdes artist Adolfo Girala. A rare combination of architectural pedigree and artistic legacy, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. Set on a generous 16,293 sq ft lot, the 2,856 sq ft home captures breathtaking views of the San Pedro and Long Beach harbors, offering ever-changing scenery from dawn to sparkling city lights. From the moment you arrive, a tranquil koi pond and fountain welcome you, setting the stage for the home's unique blend of serenity and artistry. Inside, craftsmanship and history come alive. There are three fireplaces, including a remarkable centerpiece in the kitchen, hand-carved in Venice, Italy. The living room and additional spaces feature Venetian plaster walls, adding depth and character throughout. In 2014, the home underwent an extensive renovation, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and living areas. Original mosaics"”pieces of art in their own right"”were carefully preserved and seamlessly integrated into the remodel, ensuring that history and modern design live side by side. Other highlights include a temperature-controlled built-in wine cellar, three wall-mounted HVAC zones, and generous natural light in nearly every room. The backyard is a private retreat with mature tangerine, orange, avocado, and fig trees, creating a lush orchard-like setting. Combined with harbor views, the outdoor space is ideal for quiet mornings, entertaining, or simply enjoying the beauty of the Peninsula. This is far more than just a residence"”it's a living masterpiece, created by a renowned architect, preserved and enhanced by a renowned artist, and offered now as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home that is itself a work of art.
