783 Paseo Miramar Pacific Palisades CA MLS #23-331675

Welcome to Paseo, an Artist’s California Modern Ocean View Aerie and Studio in the exclusive neighborhood of Paseo Miramar. There are places that nurture the creative spirit. This is such a place. A former residence of a Beach Boy, the home was completely reimagined in collaboration with Architect Bill Bernstein, an associate of the incomparable Mexican Architect, Ricardo Legoretta, renowned Designer Megan Heacock White, and the Artists/Owners. The home was completely rebuilt, save the decision to retain the roof that sheltered a Beach Boy and contained those good vibrations. The house was recreated as an open, airy, rigorous yet organic retreat with a Mid-Century feel. The setting is spectacular.Wood gates shield the Cedar clad architectural masterpiece and bold 2 story artist’s studio. Extraordinary vistas of the lush canyon, mountains, and the sea expand outwards from the soulful, cascading gardens, wide, welcoming Ipe decks, and a serene pool. A spa nestles in the verdant hillside. Your future is here, enveloped in this home created as a refuge, a sanctuary, an art piece in its own right. The property melds function and flow with beauty. An open living space yields breathtaking views, with an expanse of sliding Fleetwood doors that pocket into a wall, eliminating divisions between inside and out. These views inspired a design journey of harmonizing vintage charm with modern appeal and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.A wide open, custom Chef’s kitchen, with an island both welcoming and practical, invites shared conversations, and the breaking of bread together. Wine drawers store select vintages. Elegant Walnut cabinets have storage for every need. Sleek appliances and limestone counters and sinks are sturdily beautiful. Light pools on the island from original handmade ceramic pendants. Across the driveway is every artist’s dream, a huge studio with perfect light, walls of glass, polished cement floors, high ceilings, wraparound decks, and a huge powder room that could evolve into a full bath. Divided into 2 huge studios, it could become one huge studio. Down an exterior wood staircase, another light filled, high-ceilinged space is a perfect office, with adjoining storage rooms. The landscaping is reminiscent of central coast resorts; waterfalls tumble, paths meander, Hummingbirds and butterflies flit about, fruit trees nourish. A short drive away, the beach beckons. Nearby trails lead into the park. The Palisades village, with its charming farmer’s market, exclusive shops, and foodie restaurants is nearby. But here, in your private world, you are away from it all.
