Welcome to 536 Via Media, a timeless coastal retreat nestled in one of the most prestigious enclaves of Palos Verdes Estates—Lower Malaga Cove. Ideally situated just steps from the PV Beach &' Athletic Club and RAT Beach, this home offers not only exceptional walkability but also seamless access on and off the Peninsula. But above all, it boasts the view—sweeping, unobstructed vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Bay, and the iconic Queen’s Necklace by day, transitioning into a dazzling display of city lights by night.
Originally custom built in 1986 in the quintessential Palos Verdes Spanish style and thoughtfully remodeled since, the home blends classic charm with modern luxury. Recent updates include a beautifully reimagined kitchen and bathrooms, featuring top-tier appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero, elegant finishes, and refined details throughout.
The home’s striking curb appeal is immediately apparent: smooth white stucco, a traditional clay tile roof, arched doorways, and a stately paver driveway anchored by a decorative fountain, all setting the tone for the architectural character within. A gated entry leads to the main level, where ocean views greet you from nearly every room. The formal living room, with its French doors and arched transom windows, opens to the front patio and frames breathtaking views of the coastline. The dining room, adorned with a graceful chandelier, flows into the kitchen, which is appointed with a charming breakfast nook, marble backsplash, generous counter space, and abundant storage. Both rooms open to an expansive brick terrace, perfect for entertaining against a backdrop of ocean vistas and Fourth of July fireworks.
This main level also features a guest bedroom and a tastefully remodeled ¾ bath, which doubles as the powder room for the floor. Upstairs, you''ll find three en-suite bedrooms and a convenient laundry room with double washers and dryers. Two of the suites serve as primary bedrooms, both showcasing the most dramatic views in the home.
The lower level offers a private one-bedroom suite, a mudroom, and access to the spacious three-car garage. The backyard is a true oasis—complete with a built-in BBQ area, cozy fire pit, and sparkling pool and spa, all surrounded by lush landscaping on a 6,724 sq ft lot.
With its iconic location, exceptional layout, luxurious upgrades, and panoramic views, 536 Via Media is a rare offering that encapsulates the very best of Palos Verdes coastal living.
