848 Vía Somonte

Originally built in 1929, this Spanish-style home is located on one of the most coveted streets in upper Malaga Cove with unsurpassed coastline and Queen’s necklace views. With their pick of locations, early builders had a choice in where to build, and this prime location reflects that freedom. This home has original, intact details which speak of another time, using stonework, high beamed ceilings and thick, plaster walls which give a substantial feeling of quality craftsmanship. Arched doorways, cozy fireplaces and a formal dining room are elegant details that add to the luxury, yet historic nature the home. The coastline views are abundant from the majority of the rooms in this well-laid out residence and are equally as dramatic from the multiple patios and terraces. Lovely upgrades have kept this home current such as an elevator, finished garage, separate laundry room, and bathroom remodeling. The 23,000 + sq ft lot offers many places to enjoy the ocean breezes, including a flat pad above the home where the views continue to impress. This upper Malaga Cove location provides easy access on and off the hill, yet provides a sanctuary upon your return.
