In the late-1800s a carpenter named Micajah Thomas built his home in Redondo Beach: a two-story Queen Anne Victorian with three bedrooms, a parlor, and all the latest trimmings—from a decorative ceiling in the foyer to a second-floor cooling porch flush with lace-web porch supports. This home became known as The Birthday House of Redondo Beach.
Equally livable and luxurious, the home at 67 Paseo de Luz, which sits on a 24,387-square-foot lot in Rancho Palos Verdes, is ideal for both entertaining and intimate evenings at home.

Nearly 100 years later, the landmark Culver Hotel along Culver Boulevard survives—and thrives, riding the crest of culinary and artistic revitalization that is Culver City.
From the moment you enter the home, it’s clear that even without the magnificent collection of art that it was designed to showcase, every inch has been designed to evoke visual pleasure. Unique for homes of this type, it is open and modern while still warm and intimate, offering a balance of public and private spaces that flow gracefully into one other.
