There are homes with views, and then there are homes built entirely around one. Perched in the upper reaches of Marquez Knolls, this single-level contemporary residence in Pacific Palisades was conceived from the ground up to dissolve the boundary between interior life and an extraordinary coastal panorama Santa Monica Bay, the downtown Los Angeles skyline, and on clear days, Catalina Island. Conceived by Costa Projects, the architecture follows a clear, unhurried logic: clean lines, a restrained material palette, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors along every primary room. The main living areas open directly to a broad terrace where a pool, spa, and lawn all face the view inside and outside flowing into one another without interruption. The kitchen is warm natural stone countertops, natural wood cabinetry and custom millwork materials chosen for their longevity as much as their presence. Featuring built in Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Throughout the home, 9.5-foot ceilings, large-format natural stone and tile in the bathrooms reinforce a sense of calm, considered luxury without excess. The primary suite occupies its own world within the plan. Zero-corner sliding glass doors dissolve the wall entirely, framing unobstructed Pacific Ocean and coastline views from bed. The walk-in closet carries the same precision minimal in form, rich in execution, the kind of detail that reveals itself slowly. The ensuite bathroom is spa-calibrated: large-format stone, seamless glass, warm wood accents, a freestanding soaking tub as focal point and a walk-in shower that earns the designation. All four bedrooms are ensuite with generous closets. A powder room serves the main living areas. The 450-square-foot, two-car garage is accessed via an extensive enclosed driveway, with the property additionally secured by a private gate. The grounds are thoughtfully composed around native and climate-appropriate plantings selected for resilience and low water demand. Pacific Palisades offers the same coastal beauty, beach access, and proximity to Santa Monica and Malibu that have always defined it now paired with a rare single-level offering in a neighborhood re-emerging with renewed purpose.

It starts quietly. You turn off the main road and drop into Blithedale Canyon. The air cools. The light shifts. Redwoods rise around you, and the noise of everything else begins to fall away. Set across expansive, estate-like grounds, the property combines privacy, scale, and landscape in a way rarely found this close to downtown Mill Valley. This is 5 Marsh Drive. Long before the homes that define Mill Valley today, this land was part of something entirely different - an estate known as Miyajima, a Japanese-inspired compound created in the late 1800s by George T. Marsh. The grounds were known throughout the region for their beauty, their design, and the gatherings they hosted under lantern light. That history isn't something you read about it's something you feel. Today, the property has been reimagined through a modern architectural lens. Clean lines. Expanses of glass. Fleetwood doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. A home designed not to compete with its setting but to open fully to it. The main living spaces unfold with ease -kitchen, dining, living all oriented toward light, air, and the surrounding trees. Materials are warm, restrained, and intentional. Nothing feels overdone. And then you step outside. Decks and terraces cascade through the landscape. A fire pit tucked into the hillside. A bocce court. An outdoor kitchen built for long evenings that stretch well past sunset. The sound of water at the entry. Light filtering through redwoods that have stood here far longer than the home itself. There's a gate at the lower edge of the property that opens directly to Blithedale Canyon - trails just beyond, waiting. It's rare to find a home that feels this connected to nature, to design, and to something deeper. This is one of those places.
