7117 Avenida Altisima

This panoramic ocean-view home, originally built by the renowned architect Ray Rutter as his own personal Palos Verdes residence, offers an impeccable blend of Old Spanish elegance, executive comfort and the security of being on one of the Country Club area's exclusive cul-de-sacs. Beyond the wrought iron gates lies a perfectly designed single-story California Spanish ranch home with vintage Saltillo tiles, expansive and unobstructed Queen's Necklace views from Santa Monica to Malibu enjoyed, an upper deck for dinners and lounging against the backdrop of waves crashing against Lunada Pointe, and a gardener's dream below where you can grow all the organic vegetables that you want in the enormous fairy-tale garden once Reader's Digest Garden-of-the-Year. The sun setting into the ocean, whether from the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom or garden will make your jaw drop differently everyday. The home features 3 spacious bedrooms, including a large Primary Suite with vast closet space, at one wing of the house, and 1 bedroom with its own bathroom in the opposite wing off the laundry room, intended as separate maid or nanny quarters. The extra-large kitchen has ample cabinets and drawers for storage, double ovens, electric stove, and sliding glass doors leading to the backyard patio and garden for easy outdoor dining service. The large Living Room features a lovely fireplace, wet bar, and hand-carved built-in cabinet/book shelves. Newly installed Anderson windows frame the quintessential Palos Verdes vistas. New wood floors in the formal Living Room and Dining Room exquisitely complement the wrought iron handrails, hand-carved Spanish wood doors, and enormous chandelier. High-end carpeting in bedrooms and Bonus Room adds coziness and comfort. Owner is flexible but prefers long-term lease. The home can be leased partially furnished according to the needs of the tenant.
