Property Description

Find your private sanctuary at the Aitken Residence. Architects Abbot & Tozier expanded their Mid-century design on its gently sloping, almost half-acre parcel for the Aitken family, skillfully weaving outdoors and indoors into one. The Aitken residence creates a unique merging of its landscape with a warm and inviting late mid-century modern aesthetic. The house is welcoming with multiple large open sun-filled decks and bedrooms open to lush gardens, perfect for entertaining guests and family alike. Palos Verdes Estates, designed by the Olmsted Brothers, is a premier example of a master-planned, scenic coastal community that complements the natural environment. From the street, one sees only simple white stucco volumes and red-tile rooflines set in a rich, mature landscape of flowers, shrubs, and trees. As soon as one passes the threshold, the impression changes: the warm Modernist residence is open and sun-filled, with large rooms that flow into one another. A wall of northerly-facing glass allows soft daylight in all day through a sequence of sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. The substantial open-plan kitchen, dining room, and large living room interconnect, oriented to a brick-paved patio for entertaining and outdoor dining. From here, decks, stairs, and pathways meander downhill to an ample grassy yard, making up a landscape full of visual interest. Just a few steps from the entry hall are the separate private quarters, the bedrooms all accessed down a richly detailed hallway. All but one of the bedrooms has its own direct access to the outdoors. A classic wood-paneled office + media room/den does too, with its private deck. The side garden with citrus trees could become a gardener's retreat separate from the yard & gardens proper. The property also offers a studio/workshop and laundry room off the 2-car garage with its direct entry. Located in the heart of the Montemalaga neighborhood of Palos Verdes Estates, and barely a half mile from Montemalaga Elementary.
