Pedigree. Timeless. Irreplaceable. Set behind a gated private drive, 609 Paseo Del Mar, known as Villa Sul Mare (“Villa by the Sea”), is an iconic estate exuding Italian-inspired sophistication. Perched on the bluffs of Malaga Cove, this residence offers a rare blend of European grandeur and California coastal living. With… Read More approximately 270 feet of bluff-top frontage, it commands panoramic ocean vistas stretching endlessly across the Southern California coastline. From its red-tiled rooflines to graceful loggias and intricate detailing, every element reflects enduring craftsmanship. An electronic gate opens to dual driveways: a welcoming guest drive and a separate entrance leading to a six-plus car garage with a private elevator serving all three levels of the home. The approach is crowned by a stone tiered fountain and mature landscaping, creating a sense of seclusion and grandeur. Inside, a two-story circular foyer frames the estate’s crown jewel — a wall of arched windows unveiling unobstructed Pacific views. The main level unfolds with a double-sized living room anchored by a commanding fireplace, flowing to a rare half-moon terrace that immerses the home in its coastal setting. A formal dining room adjoins the chef’s kitchen with oversized island, custom range, dual sinks, and breakfast nook. Additional spaces include a regal wood-paneled study with a coffered metal ceiling, a hand-painted powder room, an inviting family room with bar, and direct access to the spa and grounds. Upstairs, three secondary bedrooms — one ensuite, two with Jack-and-Jill bath — balance comfort and privacy. The primary suite lives like a residence within itself, with a sitting area, fireplace, coffee bar, dual closets, and spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, oversized shower, and terrace overlooking the Pacific. The lower level hosts a wellness center with gym, dedicated massage area, Mr. Steam shower/sauna, and a circular wine room reminiscent of Tuscany. Outdoors, the half-acre grounds unfold with mature trees, intimate pathways, built-in BBQ, oversized spa, and sprawling lawn with potential for pool or sport courts. Discreetly nestled behind its gates, Villa Sul Mare is one of only four estates along this coveted stretch of Paseo Del Mar — and one of only two end lots. With unrivaled architecture, bluff-top frontage, and timeless European character, this irreplaceable estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Read Less
