SOLD! Original PVE Spanish in Valmonte

SOLD! – This charming Old PVE Spanish is being offered for the first time in 57 years. First known as the Hamilton Residence, designed by Arthur J. Williams and built by Henry Gardes in 1928, this is one of a few original homes built in this section of Valmonte for William H. Kindig, an LA City Councilman and one of the founders of the Braille Institute.  Extensively remodeled in 2009, the original charm was preserved while all systems were updated, dual paned windows installed, and the primary bedroom and the lower level and garage were expanded and enhanced.  From the original front door, rustic wood beams, and the sunroom that overlooks the backyard, this is one to be experienced in person.  The property looks out upon the treetops and a small canyon and has filtered city lights views.  The private backyard has a long  driveway perfect for neighborhood games and has plenty of room for a large play area, gardens, pool or whatever your imagination can drum up.

The house consists of approximately 3,000 square feet of living space on a 8,075’ lot with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths up, and a separate living area with its own bathroom and laundry downstairs.  The house lives on one level while having room for guests or extended family in the downstairs suite.  

Sale Notes: After review of the records available at the Palos Verdes Homes Association with PVHA staff, we were able to determine that the square footage reported by the tax assessor was off by over 700 square feet and the lot slightly smaller.  As a result, the marketed square footage was larger than what appeared on the assessor’s data, which helped the sellers recognize a higher sales price.
