500 Swarthmore Avenue has sold — an 8,332-square-foot corner lot in the prestigious Via Bluffs neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, offered with Ready-To-Issue plans for a 5,521-square-foot residence of 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. With the planning work already completed, the parcel offered its buyer a meaningfully shortened path from vision to construction in one of the Westside's most tightly held coastal enclaves.
The approved plans embrace California coastal living: generous living spaces, refined architectural detail, and a layout calibrated for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The corner setting carries a distinct advantage — enhanced privacy, natural light from multiple exposures, and greater flexibility in design and landscaping. The rendered elevation reflects a modern coastal farmhouse aesthetic, with stone and board-and-batten cladding, oversized steel-framed windows, and a second-story balcony.
Moments from the bluffs overlooking the Pacific, the location offers effortless access to Palisades Village, celebrated dining and boutique shopping, acclaimed schools, neighborhood parks, and scenic trails. The surrounding blocks reflect a community in thoughtful renewal, with new construction underway on neighboring parcels.
Northstrand Group represented the seller. With limited land inventory remaining in the Palisades, 500 Swarthmore Avenue was a rare opportunity — and we were glad to help our client see it through.
