1405 Via Gabriel

There are homes that “look nice,” and homes that transport you. This is the latter.

Perched at tree-canopy level in one of the South Bay’s most private coastal enclaves, this architectural residence dissolves the boundary between inside and out. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass frame ever-changing views of sunlight filtering through mature trees, while the home itself feels organically woven into the landscape.

Inside, the spirit of mid-century modern design remains pure: open, light-filled spaces, clean lines, and a seamless floor plan that encourages effortless living. That’s not by accident, the architect designed this home for his own family, and those bespoke personal touches are evident throughout.

Thoughtful renovations honor the original character while introducing contemporary comfort and functionality. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring custom bookmatched walnut cabinetry and a generous quartzite island designed for cooking, conversation, and casual entertaining.

Three of the four bathrooms have been refreshed with modern tile and sleek fixtures, while warm natural oak hardwood flooring runs throughout. Outside, new stucco and carefully terraced landscaping give the property refined curb appeal.

The grounds are equally special. A sleek rectangular pool serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by multiple outdoor living areas, sun-drenched decks overlooking the pool, shaded seating spaces, and intimate garden nooks tucked into the greenery. The indoor-outdoor connection is exceptional, making the home ideal for relaxed entertaining or quiet mornings with coffee and birdsong.

For those with vision, a substantial sub-level area offers outstanding expansion potential. The current owners have already completed conceptual plans, providing a meaningful head start for future improvements.

Located in a quiet neighborhood on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the home is moments from top-rated schools, shopping, dining, hiking trails, Palos Verdes Golf Club, the Pacific Ocean, and yet it feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life.
