Set just up the hill from the Palos Verdes Country Club the home's outside features a private front greeting courtyard and a shady loggia, an entertainer’s backyard with a kitchen area, balustrade view terraces, a tennis court, a lilied koi pond, an outdoor curtained casita, a stone walking path, and space for a small vineyard.
