520 Lombard Avenue, Pacific Palisades

Rare opportunity to secure a home where you can enjoy living la dolce vita in between the mountains and the sea in Los Angeles’ most extraordinary and unique coastal community. This home, ideally located in the Via Bluffs, is simultaneously walkable to the ocean bluffs, The Village, and hiking trails; not to mention schools, banks, cafes, shops, markets, parks, the Library and the Sunday Farmer’s Market.

Originally built in 1947, the house experienced a metamorphosis in 1980 into the two-story contemporary Tudor it is today. Open the front door to the two-story entry, overlooking the living room with fireplace, and step down into the dining room with its bay window view of the back patio and garden. Next to the kitchen is a breakfast room with French doors to the same patio and garden. Sprawling kitchen has yards of cabinetry, windows and counters wrapped around the room encompassing electric double ovens, gas range with hood, stainless steel sinks, dual-drawer dishwasher, side by side refrigerator and floor to ceiling pantry. Past the living room you will find a walk-in wet bar and den with walls of windows and sliding French doors leading out to a covered deck overlooking an even larger garden on the side of the house. The fourth bedroom, a full bathroom and powder room add to the convenience of the home’s ground level featuring hardwood floors.

Up the stairs are two large bedrooms, each with walls of closets and windows, a full bathroom with dual sinks, and a master retreat with spacious walk-in closet, large bathroom including separate shower, spa-tub, two sinks and an ocean view, seen also from the oversized bedroom with fireplace and its private sundeck.

Now ready for another metamorphosis, this home is destined to be a dream vision of your imagination in this quintessential location by the sea. Pacific Palisades still clings to a small-town feel even while The Village, its legendary central business district, is reincarnated with a picturesque town square development that promises to blend timeless sophistication with irresistible coastal charm.

There is no other Los Angeles lifestyle like Pacific Palisades, with its small-town feel on the edge of the water where the air is perpetually fresh, people enjoy full-moon hikes on mountain trails, the main street shuts down every year for a Fourth of July Parade, and summer movies are shown in the park. There’s a reason why many consider it “Mayberry,” an unexpected and delightful one-of-a-kind in the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles.
