Property details
About 448 Via El Chico
A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Hollywood Riviera: Welcome to a unique offering in one of the South Bay’s most iconic and storied neighborhoods—Hollywood Riviera. Nestled on a peaceful hillside with commanding, forever views of the Pacific Ocean, this 1973 original-condition home sits at the crossroads of history, potential, and possibility. In the mid-1920s, developer Clifford Reid discovered this stretch of coastline just north of Palos Verdes and was instantly reminded of the French Riviera. Enchanted by its beauty and inspired by the glamour of the motion picture industry, he envisioned a coastal enclave worthy of the Hollywood elite—thus, the Hollywood Riviera was born. Today, that spirit lives on in this rare property, waiting for the right owner to carry its legacy forward. This home offers solid structure, an eccentric layout that was thoughtfully designed to maximize the stunning views, and a hillside location that invites creativity. Whether you're dreaming of a sprawling modern estate, a Mediterranean-inspired retreat, or a coastal contemporary masterpiece, the possibilities are as expansive as the views themselves. Opportunities like this rarely come along. With great bones, unbeatable views, and a location steeped in charm and prestige, this is more than a fixer—it’s your chance to create a legacy home in one of Southern California’s most cherished coastal communities.
