Dreaming Of The ‘60s: Pierre Koenig In Pacific Palisades, $4.5M
Perched at the edge of a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this magical Modernist home was designed for Rob and Alice Beagles by Pierre Koenig in 1963, and has been occupied by the Beagles family ever since. It was a few years after his iconic and influential Case Study Houses, and he had a burgeoning career designing these utterly simple and beautifully finished houses while teaching architecture at USC. It’s deceptively modest from the street.This is a “Holy Grail” property– one designed by a hugely influential architect, with views overlooking the Pacific Ocean all the way to Palos Verdes, and in impeccable, well-maintained original condition, plus with deeded access to a semi-private path leading to the ocean beach below. The principal rooms along with four bedrooms and three baths are arranged around an atrium-like stairwell anchored by an immense steel fireplace on the lower level.More: Go to the listing for additional images and details. And outstanding opportunity to own a piece of LA’s design heritage, represented by architecture specialists Rick Grahn and Brian Lindner at Compass.Photo Credit: Cameron Carothers for CompassThe post Dreaming Of The ‘60s: Pierre Koenig In Pacific Palisades, $4.5M appeared first on California Home+Design.
Rare Double Oceanfront Promontory Parcel Hits the Market for $32 Million in Laguna Beach
Oceanfront properties in Southern California are a rare occurrence on the market. But a double-wide promontory parcel with a completely unobstructed front-row view to the Pacific Ocean? Well, that’s another level of rarity.This newly listed Laguna Beach property is perhaps one of only six promontory parcels in town – “and few are as large as this double parcel,” says listing agent Ray McAfoose of Coldwell Banker Realty in Laguna Beach.The current owners – who are only the second owners in the property’s entire history – thoughtfully updated, reimagined and maintained the original mid-century home since purchasing it approximately 35 years ago. The home is a statement in warm contemporary style, bringing over 4,300 square feet of grand, open entertaining spaces, mixed with two bedrooms and two and a half baths, into focus. A zen-like atmosphere permeates from every room as you take in the mesmerizing panoramic views of the surf and whitewater ocean stretching from the Palos Verdes Peninsula to San Diego’s Coronado Island from the dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows.The residence features a sturdily constructed steel and concrete “safe room.” Yet it’s the uniqueness of its coastal location that truly sets it apart: gated steps take you down to a privately owned sandy beach with a secured cabana. Concludes McAfoose: “Without a doubt, it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”The post Rare Double Oceanfront Promontory Parcel Hits the Market for $32 Million in Laguna Beach appeared first on Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Blog - Luxury Home & Style.
