The story
- Pool
A rare opportunity to realize an estate-caliber residence on one of Huntington Palisades' unusually generous parcels. Set on approximately 11,000 square feet, nearly one and a half times the size of a typical neighborhood lot, 717 Toyopa offers a sense of scale, privacy, and expansive outdoor living seldom found in this coveted coastal enclave. The architectural vision draws inspiration from the grand residences of the Riviera, where timeless proportions, gracious interiors, and a commanding yet restrained presence define the character of a home. Reinterpreted through a modern traditional sensibility, the design balances classical architectural discipline with the openness, natural light, and effortless indoor-outdoor connection of contemporary California living. A grand double-height entry foyer establishes the home's architectural presence from the moment of arrival, introducing a sense of volume and understated grandeur that carries throughout the residence. Generously proportioned living spaces, thoughtful sightlines, and carefully composed transitions to the outdoors create an estate-like experience without sacrificing the warmth and intimacy of a family home. Envisioned as an approximately 5,500-square-foot residence with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a three-car garage, and a junior accessory dwelling unit, the home has been designed around both architectural distinction and everyday livability. The exceptional grounds are equally compelling, offering an expansive private yard rarely achievable in the neighborhood, with generous room for gardens, recreation, outdoor entertaining, and the unstructured pleasures of family life. Of particular significance is the opportunity to acquire a fully conceived architectural design already progressing through the City's permitting process, while retaining the ability to shape its final expression. The purchaser may collaborate with the design team to develop a bespoke exterior facade and curate select interior materials and finishes, creating a residence with a distinctly personal identity without undertaking the architectural process from its inception. The result is an uncommon offering: the architectural ambition and enduring character of a much larger estate, thoughtfully scaled to one of the Palisades' most desirable residential neighborhoods. A home conceived not merely around square footage, but around proportion, craftsmanship, permanence, and the luxury of space. 717 Toyopa represents a rare convergence of land, architecture, and opportunity-the chance to create a generational home of genuine distinction in the heart of Huntington Palisades. Anticipated completion date is summer 2027.
