Palos Verdes Homes–Luxury Is in the Eye of the Beholder–High-End is a Price

By | July 30th, 2012|Front Page, Los Angeles Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes|

  When it comes to homes, luxury is in the eye of the beholder, but high-end usually means the upper echelon of the price range for the area.  A spa bathroom complete with sauna and soaking tub meets the definition of luxury for many but such amenities may also be found in a mid-price range Palos Verdes home.   Life is full of many little luxuries with blurred lines between necessity or indulgence.  One man's luxury is another's requirement.  If a prospective buyer asks to see luxury homes in Palos Verdes the next step is to have them define what constitutes luxury for them.  Maybe [...]

My Favorite Palos Verdes Salad Stops

By | July 29th, 2012|Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes|

I love a delicious green salad for lunch and am always on the hunt for a fabulous new salad stop to add to my favorite eating spots on The Hill aka Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Last week I was in the Lunada Bay neighborhood of Palos Verdes Estates showing property and if it's mealtime and I'm in the area I always stop at St. Honore French Bakery for their delightful Tahitian Chicken Salad (with tiny slivers of crusty French bread).    I wish I had taken a picture as it looked good enough to eat, and that's exactly what I did.  However, the portion was so generous I enjoyed [...]

Tuesday is open house day for brokers and agents.  Today’s open house tour did not disappoint.  The star of the show list was definitely 253 Rocky Point Road listed by Prudential Realty.  Very few homes compel me to pull my iPhone from my purse and begin capturing the essence of a property.  This one did. If it is your dream to own a bluff home with nothing but the blue Pacific Ocean (there are mountains and city lights in the distance) to gaze upon from your backyard, then this setting is for you.  The home was built in 2007 with [...]
