850 muskingum avenue
Discover a rare sanctuary in the Pacific Palisades an untouched, impeccably maintained residence on a serene street that feels worlds away from any chaos. Drive down the tree-lined block and you'll swear time stood still; it's as peaceful and pristine as ever. This extraordinary California-style masterpiece, custom-built with inspiration from legendary architect Irving Gill, is nothing short of a heavenly retreat. Nestled on a sprawling half-acre of lush, organic gardens bursting with life and color, the property envelops you in nature's embrace. A sparkling crystal-blue swimming pool beckons for lazy afternoons, while expansive outdoor living spaces invite effortless relaxation and unforgettable entertaining. Step inside the approximately 6,500-square-foot home and be greeted by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and thoughtful design at every turn. The gracious living and dining rooms flow seamlessly, divided by a dramatic open fireplace and a light-filled atrium that brings the outdoors in. The adjacent family room, framed by oversized sliding glass doors, opens directly to the verdant gardens perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, outfitted with premium Miele and Wolf appliances, balanced beautifully by timeless, earthy finishes: rich Vermont soapstone countertops, a generous butcher-block island, and soft, inviting hues that exude warmth and sophistication. Descend to the lower level to find a spacious and flexible bonus area ideal as an additional family room, private theater, or entertainment space, along with a wine cellar and a versatile workshop complete with potting room perfect for creative pursuits or nurturing your garden. Upstairs, the serene primary suite feels like a private spa retreat, featuring its own balcony overlooking the grounds, a luxurious ensuite bath with steam shower, dual vanities, and a deep soaking tub. Down the hall awaits a versatile den with pocket doors, built-in Murphy bed, and full bath perfect as a guest suite or home office plus a spacious laundry room, a third ensuite bedroom, and a dramatic office with vaulted ceilings and direct access to its own garden patio. Once graced by the pages of Martha Stewart Living, this turn-key treasure is more than a home it's a legacy. Impeccably cared for and move-in ready, it awaits the next discerning Palisades family to fall in love and make memories that will last a lifetime. Your dream home isn't just waiting it's calling. Don't miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity.
