Description

1227 Tellem Dr. A reimagined 1960s Mid-Century in coveted Marquez Knolls with sweeping Pacific Ocean and Queens Necklace views, single-level living, and a comprehensive recent restoration, delivered fully turnkey. This 4-bedroom, 4-bath with detached office, residence spans approximately 3,503 square feet behind a dramatic entry that opens to vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, and true indoor-outdoor flow across a flat, usable lot. The floor plan offers a formal living room with fireplace alongside separate family and dining rooms, anchored by a remodeled kitchen with large center island, high-end appliances, and abundant storage. The primary suite features ocean views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms and three additional baths provide flexibility for family and guests, with the separate home office. Outdoors, a newly renovated pool and entertaining area includes a custom BBQ plus all new equipment, plumbing, tile, and plaster. The space opens to professionally landscaped grounds with a pergola, garden shed, outdoor shower, and all-new irrigation. The flat yard and view orientation make this one of the more functional outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. Additional 2026 upgrades include custom built-ins, new lighting throughout, refinished garage, upgraded electrical with a Tesla universal charger, full security camera system, and a serviced whole-home generator. Importantly, the property has been independently tested for post-fire air and environmental quality and documented clean, with complete reports available for your review. This is a meaningful distinction in today's Palisades market and a genuine turnkey opportunity. Set in a neighborhood on the rise. Palisades High School reopened in 2026 and the Village returns this summer. 1227 Tellem captures California living at its best: architecture, view, timing, and peace of mind, together.
