Property Description
Pedigree. Timeless. Irreplaceable. Set behind a gated private drive, 609 Paseo Del Mar, known as Villa Sul Mare (Villa by the Sea), is an iconic estate exuding Italian-inspired sophistication. Perched on the bluffs of Malaga Cove, this residence offers a rare blend of European grandeur and California coastal living. With approximately 270 feet of bluff-top frontage, it commands panoramic ocean vistas stretching endlessly across the Southern California coastline. From its red-tiled rooflines to graceful loggias and intricate detailing, every element reflects enduring craftsmanship. An electronic gate opens to dual driveways: a welcoming guest drive and a separate entrance leading to a six-plus car garage with a private elevator serving all three levels of the home.

A formal dining room adjoins the chefs kitchen with oversized island, custom range, dual sinks, and breakfast nook. Additional spaces include a regal wood-paneled study with a coffered metal ceiling, a hand-painted powder room, an inviting family room with bar, and direct access to the spa and grounds.
