While strolling along peaceful, tree-lined De Pauw Street in Pacific Palisades, you pass many nice homes in various styles: Mediterranean, Plantation, Nantucket Modern and more. There are even a few charming ranch homes from earlier decades. When you arrive at the curb of this fresh contemporary home, though, you’ll likely stop for a double take.
The reason for the interest might be the impressive scale of the place, a prim and oversized Nantucket-style residence sheathed in moss-green shingles and cut stone, but more likely it’s the lighthouse built along its edge.
The new, crisp white home on 1617 Hermosa Avenue—steps from the action on the beach and Pier Avenue—neatly exemplifies an aesthetic that’s been cropping up throughout the South Bay.
