Gated and set on one of the Lower Riviera’s quietest streets, 773 Amalfi Drive in Pacific Palisades offers a compelling combination of seclusion, scale, and approachable elegance. The home, which was recently featured in the Los Angeles Times’ real estate section, “Hot Property,” is perched above Rustic Canyon with sweeping mountain and canyon views stretching toward the horizon. Represented by The Agency’s Parham Mansourian and Mauricio Umansky, the estate sits on over 18,000 square feet of property, with graceful old-growth trees providing shade and privacy over the manicured lawn and gardens.
Owned by renowned Hollywood director Sam Raimi and designed with the refined sensibility of interior designer Windsor Smith, this 7,500-square-foot residence unfolds across an expansive floor plan. The foyer flows into an airy dining room, where doors open to perfectly frame the picturesque yard and views beyond, creating an al fresco atmosphere within the home.
A formal living room anchors the main level with high ceilings, a grand fireplace, and rich architectural detailing. Moody and private, a large office offers retreat with a wood-burning fireplace and wall-to-wall built-in cabinetry.
The gourmet kitchen, outfitted with expansive counter space, an island, and double sinks, is also appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances—creating the kind of kitchen that you’ll never want to leave. The space opens to a comfortable living room with fireplace and spacious breakfast nook, ideal for both intimate dinners and large-scale gatherings. Large paned windows and French doors allow ample sunshine in and provide easy access to the patio and expansive backyard.
The primary suite is a peaceful refuge, with a dedicated sitting area, fireplace, and double French doors leading to a porch overlooking the property. Dual marble bathrooms and dual closets add to this sanctuary, which just begs for a rainy day and a good book.
Five additional ensuite bedrooms feature oversized closets and bespoke wallpapers, complemented by an upstairs sitting room and reading nook. A home gym, executive office, and full smart-home system — with Control4, Lutron lighting, Jandy pool controls, and integrated security—complete the residence.
Outside, the estate is built for year-round living, complete with a resort-style lap pool and spa, a full outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and BBQ, and an outdoor fireplace. Anchoring the property is a charming brick two-story guest house complete with downstairs living room and an enchanting upstairs bedroom surrounded by windows.
The property offers a serene escape overlooking the Riviera Country Club, but is just moments from the coast, canyon trails, and the neighborhood’s beloved dining and café scene.
