Peaceful, private and ultra-luxurious. Enter an opulent world behind the ornately carved wood entrance of this 3-level oceanview villa along the Esplanade in Redondo Beach. Nearly 9,000 square feet of grand living space includes 6 roomy bedroom suites and exceptional details, from a handcrafted wine cellar and a 3-stop elevator to an 8-car garage.

Situated high above the beach for enhanced views and privacy, the residence has 6 terraces for enjoying dramatic 180-degree coastal panoramas from Palos Verdes to Malibu's Point Dume. Step outside to the broad Esplanade, where it's a few minutes' stroll to coffee shops and eateries on Pacific Coast Highway; and a 5-minute bike cruise to fine boutiques and dining in Riviera Village.

Back at 709 Esplanade, you enter on the middle floor, where accordion glass doors usher fresh ocean breezes and color-drenched sunsets through sleek living and dining rooms. Formal entertainment areas include a stately colonnaded terrace, as well as the airy kitchen with big marble island; a sun-splashed central gallery; and a refined fireplaced salon with custom bookcases.

A grand curved staircase or the elevator carry you to the top floor where bedroom suites feature chic designer bathrooms, and the primary suite boasts a marble fireplace, an oceanview balcony and elegant spa bathroom overlooking the Pacific. Guests and family love to congregate in the bright game room and bar on the first floor, where there's lounging and grilling on yet another sun-soaked terrace overlooking the beach.

Throughout the spacious villa there are glossy stone floors, high ceilings and arched doorways. And a crisp white palette punctuated by rich wood details that contrasts vividly against the deep blues of sea and sky abundant in a lavish home that sets a new standard along the Esplanade.
