Speaking of Portugeuse Bend and the Vanderlip Estate....

In  my excitement over Catalina View properties just listed last week (and under $1M), I neglected to mention in my last post that a piece of Palos Verdes history is on the market now, for the first time ever. The L.A. Times beat me to the punch by featuring the 1916 Vanderlip "Cottage" as its Home of the Week last Sunday. I grabbed the photo (credit:  Emily Cristiano) at left from the slide-show featured in the lovely article by Mary Forgione.

For your pleasure, I invite you to take a few moments to sit back, relax and enjoy the Virtual Tour of the 4-bed, 4-bath + maid's quarters "Cottage" at 99 Vanderlip with its sumptuous decor, landscape, and views. Price: $2,500,000. - I think it's a steal, then again I have penchant for early 20th century California homes and am well aware that this kind of thing is just not just anyone's cup of tea. That said, if ever a cup might be enjoyed best in Southern California, I'd suggest it might be done here.

As ever, I welcome all interested parties, be they Temperance Society members, or not. Otherwise, please enjoy at your leisure. Salut! - Andrea
