One-of-a-kind Storybook Beauty! Once upon a time, in a small village nestled on a knoll above the ocean, there was - hidden on the only palm tree lined street - the most charming 1920's English Cottage with guest studio anyone could imagine! From its fanciful turret and white picket fenced rose garden, to its stone walkway and sheltered front porch, this home couldn't be more darling. Beyond its threshold, dreams dance under the moonlight and sway in the breeze of the Pacific, roaming freely from the village to the majestic bluffs. Rounded archways, hardwood floors, intricate built-ins, tiled counters, crown molding, sun-filled rooms, custom shutters, and a classic central fireplace nurture an ever-present feeling of home. In the heart of the magical world of Pacific Palisades, where the true meaning of community lies in endless possibilities between the mountains and the sea!
