Perched atop a picturesque hillside in the heart of Palos Verdes Estates, 1409 Via Fernandez is a striking Spanish custom-built home that commands attention from the moment you arrive.The entrance welcomes you with a soaring chandeliered rotunda rising to a domed ceiling. Overhead, a circular wrought-iron railing on the 2nd floor is bathed in sunlight. From this dramatic centerpiece, the foyer fans out into 2 wings of formal spaces.Toward the pool, the ocean-view dining room, gourmet kitchen, butler's pantry and breakfast nook open to the family room with adjacent wet bar, creating an ideal gathering & entertaining space near 2 half baths and laundry room.The family room fireplace frames stunning views beneath soaring ceilings and skylights. Outside, the pool, spa and BBQ area invite family fun amid breathtaking ocean and sunset views. Off the patio is the guest house with living room, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, with stairs leading to the 3-car garage. To the left of the rotunda is a formal step-down living room with grand fireplace, high ceilings and ocean views. This leads to the central courtyard with stone patio and fire pit. Also on this wing is a dark wood library with coffered ceiling, private patio, adjacent 3/4 bath and minibar. Stairs off the library lead to the luxurious primary suite with beamed ceilings, fireplace and panoramic ocean views. The suite includes 2 walk-in closets and an updated bath with dual sinks, vanity, soaking tub and walk-in shower with 2 showerheads and built-in bench. Across the upper level are 3 additional bedroom suites, 2 with ocean-view balconies. Spanning approximately 6,326 SF on a 26,320 SF foot lot, the property includes a 4-bedroom, 7-bath main residence and a detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house positioned below the 3-car garage with French doors opening to the pool area. French doors, fireplaces, skylights, vaulted and coffered ceilings, exposed beams and expansive windows create a sense of elegance while maintaining a relaxed coastal atmosphere. But what no square footage figure can capture, and what no amount of money can manufacture, is what sits to the right of this property:nothing! No neighbor, no roofline encroaching on your sightline, no noise, no lights. Just open hillside. In Palos Verdes where lots of this caliber are tightly held and rarely traded, that kind of lateral privacy is essentially irreplaceable. You cannot buy the land next door. You can only be fortunate enough to own the estate beside it.
