ESS THAN A 5-minute drive from the manicured
shops and eateries of Palisades Village is a little-known
road named Marinette. Here, the wide and peaceful
streets are adorned with old-growth California green-
ery and large, pretty homes. There's a lot of space and
little traffic because, unless you live along one of Marinette's
three blocks or so, it's neither well-known nor en route to some-
where else. "This location is very special—it's a niche," says
longtime Pacific Palisades real estate agent Michael Edlen of the
site, which is located near Chautauqua Boulevard, and just north
of the Huntington and Alphabet Street neighborhoods. "Many
people don't know it exists because it's off the beaten path by a
couple of blocks. It's very private and very quiet."
Just a few homes from where Marinette Road ends, and
steps from Rivas Canyon Trail, is a brand-new custom residence.
Created by custom home builder Provincetown Estates, in collab-
oration with Westside designer Maya Williams, the modern
farmhouse spans about 5,400 square feet, on an expansive lot
of approximately 18,119 square feet. "This property is more than
twice as large as what's considered a 'larger lot' in the Village
area," Edlen points out. This combination—of a big new home
that's within walking distance to the Village, and surrounded by a
leafy, relaxing atmosphere—is a rare find. "It also has views," says
the agent. "Not only do you see a lot of trees, but you get a feel-
ing of a view towards the ocean, particularly on the second level."
Walk through the five-bedroom home, and one finds a
sun-splashed, clean cut floorplan spanning two levels, with
ample 10-foot high ceilings throughout. "'Upscale elegance
meshed with functionality' was the vision for this beautiful,
contemporary Pacific Palisades family lifestyle home," explains
