About 17520 Stretto Way
Commanding panoramic ocean views from Malibu to Palos Verdes, Casita de Suenos ("House of Dreams") floats above the Pacific in romantic Castellammare, steps from beach access via the historic footbridge. This 1928 Spanish Revival masterpiece has been preserved with uncompromising care and artistry. Every surface tells its story: hand-troweled plaster walls, arched casement windows, forged-iron balconies, and Saltillo floors in sun-warmed terracotta tones. Malibu Potteries-style Talavera tiles, painted in cobalt, saffron, jade, and coral, adorn stair risers and niches with Moorish rosettes and geometric bursts. Interiors glow with Venetian-plaster ceilings, dark-walnut doors, and bronze chandeliers. The chef's kitchen pairs Verde Ubatuba granite with Viking, Sub-Zero, and DCS appliances. Spa baths of travertine and tumbled limestone feature Porcher, Duravit, and Americh fixtures. A detached guesthouse, also with ocean views, offers ideal space for guests, office, or studio. Multiple terraces framed by jasmine and gardenia capture sunsets melting into the sea. In impeccable condition and rich with architectural soul, Casita de Suenos is a romantic coastal sanctuary, timeless, luminous, and alive with history.
