About This Property
There are homes with views, and then there are homes built entirely around one. Perched in the upper reaches of Marquez Knolls, this single-level contemporary residence in Pacific Palisades was conceived from the ground up to dissolve the boundary between interior life and an extraordinary coastal panorama Santa Monica Bay, the downtown Los Angeles skyline, and on clear days, Catalina Island. Conceived by Costa Projects, the architecture follows a clear, unhurried logic: clean lines, a restrained material palette, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors along every primary room. The main living areas open directly to a broad terrace where a pool, spa, and lawn all face the view inside and outside flowing into one another without interruption. The kitchen is warm natural stone countertops, natural wood cabinetry and custom millwork materials chosen for their longevity as much as their presence. Featuring built in Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Throughout the home, 9.5-foot ceilings, large-format natural stone and tile in the bathrooms reinforce a sense of calm, considered luxury without excess. The primary suite occupies its own world within the plan. Zero-corner sliding glass doors dissolve the wall entirely, framing unobstructed Pacific Ocean and coastline views from bed. The walk-in closet carries the same precision minimal in form, rich in execution, the kind of detail that reveals itself slowly. The ensuite bathroom is spa-calibrated: large-format stone, seamless glass, warm wood accents, a freestanding soaking tub as focal point and a walk-in shower that earns the designation. All four bedrooms are ensuite with generous closets. A powder room serves the main living areas. The 450-square-foot, two-car garage is accessed via an extensive enclosed driveway, with the property additionally secured by a private gate.The grounds are thoughtfully composed around native and climate-appropriate plantings selected for resilience, low water demand, and alignment with fire-hardening principles. A wildfire suppression system has been pre-planned (design and estimate available), with a dedicated line connected to the pool for a future off-grid installation a meaningful distinction in today's Pacific Palisades market. Architectural plans and permits convey with the sale. Pacific Palisades offers the same coastal beauty, beach access, and proximity to Santa Monica and Malibu that have always defined it now paired with a rare single-level offering in a neighborhood re-emerging with renewed purpose.
