2011 Palos Verdes Home Tour - Part 2

So after the Chadwick house, we boarded the shuttle and went to the next stop on the tour - the Don Lawyer Residence, aka the Roessler House.  Recall my previous post about the home here ("New Life for an Old World home").  I learned a fair bit on this tour - and it was great to see this massive estate up close and in person!

Firstly, let me correct one error from my previous post - while Ed Beall's firm handled the restoration and expansion of the home, the architect at Ed Beall & Associates responsible for the project was not Ed Beall, but rather George Shaw, one of his associates.

The home is massive and extremely private.  The grounds are expansive, and the home is not visible from the street.  Quite a nice home!   While I was not allowed to photograph the interior, I will say that it is equally impressive.  Authentic, restored tile floors.  Replastered walls.  Wonderfully executed.

The views from the back of the home are fantastic!  Not quite as impressive as Chadwick House, but still - an unobstructed view of the blue Pacific.

Wonderful, seamless integration of the old and the new parts of the home.    If I only had a spare $10M....
