Perched above the Pacific Ocean in the Los Angeles County community of Rancho Palos Verdes<\/a>, this Paul Revere Williams<\/strong>-designed home<\/a> is fit for a midcentury-modern superfan.<\/p>\n

And just such an enthusiast seems to have materialized quickly, as the home is already pending sale after just a few weeks on the market. This listing is priced at $2.2 million.<\/p>\n

The four-bedroom, three-bath, 2,059-square-foot home was built in 1960 and is set on a 19,000-square-foot lot.<\/p>\n

It is part of the Williams-designed, 190-home SeaView subdivision, which was featured<\/a> in Atomic Ranch magazine in 2011.<\/p>\n

Offering semiopen floor plans, high ceilings, and disappearing walls via shoji screens, the development was geared toward World War II veterans.<\/p>\n

With 186 feet of sea-facing property lines, the home offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, vistas that can also be enjoyed from the owner\u2019s suite and adjacent patio\u2014one of two on the home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was designed for the homeowner to enjoy a year-round, vacation-type of lifestyle,\u201d says\u00a0Gloria Commiso<\/strong><\/a>, of Compass. \u201cWilliams was ahead of his time and created one of the first \u2018staycation\u2019 communities in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams, who died in 1980, might be best known as an architect to stars such as\u00a0Lucille Ball<\/strong> and Frank Sinatra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Recently restored<\/h2>\n

The home has been preserved to maintain its original retro character, the listing notes. A \u201ccosmetic remodel\u201d of the interior and exterior was finished just prior to the home\u2019s listing.<\/p>\n

Design features include a decorative block wall, open beams, a stone-surround fireplace, and a custom-built replica of the original divider screen, which offers privacy in the dining area.<\/p>\n

In the kitchen, a vintage O\u2019Keefe and Merritt stove includes a cooktop, double oven, rotisserie, and \u201cgrillevator.\u201d<\/p>\n

A two-car garage rounds out the property.<\/p>\n

\u2018Dream house\u2019<\/h2>\n

The house\u2014an example of the \u201cMonte Carlo\u201d model, the subdivision\u2019s largest floor plan\u2014was sold off market to the current owner in 2005, by a family that had owned it since 1971.<\/p>\n

The seller has since relocated for work and \u201ctold me he felt that he had hit the house lottery when he purchased it for $800,000,\u201d Commiso says. \u201cWhen they bought the property, it had some deferred maintenance, and the backyard was a bit of an eyesore. They restored it inside and out to bring it back to its glory days \u2026 to reflect its original vibes and midcentury modern character.\u00a0This is an entertainer\u2019s dream house.\u201d<\/p>\n
