Share News:

One look at these Pacific Palisades listings and you’ll be California dreaming. That’s because each of our Splurge vs. Steal picks offer fantastic pools and views with ample space to entertain. The only question is which would you choose? The Ultra-Luxe Splurge or the Cape Cod Steal? 

Splurge: Pacific Palisades Retreat In Ridgeview Country Estates For $15M

First, let’s start with a swoon-worthy splurge! According to the listing, the home is “sited on one of the largest usable ocean view lots.” And the five-bedroom, seven-bath Pacific Palisades gem comes with 24-hour security in one of the area’s most prestigious locales.

Secondly, epitomes comfortable luxury living. The nearly 10,000-square-foot estate holds the record for being the highest priced sale behind the gates. Yes, privacy is paramount here. Couple that with stunning ocean-views, and an address just minutes from Palisades Village shopping and dining and you have one epic retreat.

But the dreamy backyard oasis takes it over the top! The tranquil outdoor oasis comes complete with lushly landscaped gardens and a crystal blue pool and spa. Plus, there is a pool cabana and attached guest house, further adding to the appeal.

Inside, your fabulous chef’s kitchen awaits! It is decked out with top-of-the-line appliances and finishes. And when it’s time to unwind, the spa-like master offers lavish upgrades galore! Of course, you’ll also love the library, home theatre, gym, light-filled formals, and intimate living areas too. Jaw-dropping designer touches and unbeatable views come standard at this sophisticated Palisades palace.

Steal: Clark Remington-Designed Cape Cod With A Pool For $3.495M

Next up, a worthy steal! For a fraction of our splurge, this Pacific Palisades home comes with architectural prestige. Thanks to architect Clark Remington, it has canyon and peek-a-boo ocean views. And the incredible interiors are perfect for entertaining.

The five-bedroom, four-bathroom beauty offers a gracious 4,077 square feet with an easy open floor plan to host a crowd. The listing calls it a “beautiful value in a coveted location” and we couldn’t agree more! We love the spiral staircase, soaring ceilings, and large windows streaming tons of natural light.

There are hardwood floors, beautiful crown moldings, and a stunning gourmet kitchen. However, the real bonus is in the family room. It opens to the outdoors for the ultimate in California living. A fire pit, built-in seating, and pergola patio make the space shine.
