NEW CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITY - PALOS VERDES ESTATES 3819 VIA LA SELVA
$1,395,000
Take a drive up to Palos Verdes Estates to visit 3819 Via La Selva and you’ll see why long time Manhattan Beach residents are flocking to the hottest South Bay neighborhood called ‘Valmonte’. Zoned for Silver Spur Elementary School ranked 3rd highest Los Angeles County API score (Robinson ranked #11 - [source: 2012 Dept of Education]) its quickly become the most sought after neighborhood in the area with its mature eucalyptus tree lined streets, new construction projects everywhere you turn, and PARKING anytime you want it. With downtown Los Angeles just a 25.5 mile drive (Manhattan Beach Tree Section is a 24 mile drive) why not buy a 12,700+ square foot lot instead of a 4,800 square foot lot to build your dream house -- when they’re the same price?
This once in a lifetime opportunity to build a custom home on one of the largest lots in Valmonte.

Historical Tidbit – According to legend, this home was built by Charles Riddle of Riddle and Ross fame. He owned roughly two blocks around this property. He also developed the neighborhood commercial across Manhattan Avenue and on Greenwich Village and he chose this lot for his home and the lot next door for his pool, because he knew those buildings would have limited height because of the strenuous parking requirements associated with neighborhood commercial.

Since then, I’ve worked very hard and succeeded to break the chains of poverty for myself and my family. Today, I am proud to announce my partnership with

SAN PEDRO’S DRUM BARRACKS – THE GREAT CAMEL EXPERIMENT
BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES
PUBLISHER Warren J Dow

ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER Christopher Matalone

SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
The military has had a long history in San Pedro. Camp Drum was established as a five company Civil War outpost originally named Camp San Pedro in January 1862, on land donated by Phineas Banning and Benjamin D. “Don Benito” Wilson . This post was later designated as Drum Barracks. It was named by the War Department in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Richard Drum, assistant adjutant general of the Department of California. Drum Barracks was a footnote in U.S. Military History when it participated in the grand experiment of utilizing camels in troop movements. 31 camels were originally stationed at Fort Tejon which guarded Tejon Pass in North Los Angeles County. When the 1st U.S. Dragoons abandoned the fort to act as a deterrent against possible secession in downtown Los Angeles, the camels accompanied them. At first they gathered crowds but the novelty of the creatures soon wore out and residents of Los Angeles began complaining of the smell, asking the military to move them elsewhere. They came to Camp Drum in early 1862.

In 1863, Major Clarence E. Bennett, post commander, complained, He blamed failure of previous camel use on government employees who “regard service with camels as being extremely unpleasant.” He said, “In appearance camels are extremely ugly, in gait very rough, in herding inclined to wander, and with their long strides they make haste slowly, keeping their herders on the go.” He recommended the camels at Drum be tested for service across Mojave Desert and be shipped to Fort Mojave because almost all grass at Drum was gone. The idea was not approved, the camel experiment was then deemed unsuccessful and the camels were auctioned off at Benicia Depot the next year. In late 1870, the camp was officially abandoned. Wilson donated ten acres of land and two buildings at the Drum Barracks to the Methodist Church after the government returned the land to him and Phineas Banning in 1873.

The church took Wilson up on his plan, establishing Wilson College in the two buildings, the former hospital and the senior officer’s quarters building. The first class term ended in July 1874, with the first full academic year starting in August 1874. Unfortunately, a financial panic in 1875 devastated the college, forcing it to close. The Methodist Church had more prolonged success with a 348-acre land grant it received from J.W. Hellman, J.G. Downey and O.W. Childs, which was located a few miles north of Wilson College. The church built a college there which opened on Oct. 6, 1880, and eventually developed into the University of Southern California. Wilson College still is considered to be the first coeducational college to be established west of the Mississippi River. The site now houses the Drum Barracks Civil War Museum located at 1052 North Banning Blvd in Wilmington. www.southbayhistory.com

re/max estate properties
WRIT TEN BY HEI DI WALTER Gayle Probst is now an agent with Re/Max Estate Properties, but prior to 2013, she was the #1 Coldwell Banker agent for Palos Verdes and the entire South Bay. She understands the changing nature of the real estate market in her areas of expertise: Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, the beach cities, and other affluent areas of the South Bay. “There were 160 single family homes for sale as of October 30th,” she says of inventory levels in the South Bay, but compares them to levels back in the early 1990s when she began as an agent. The market was down then, and as a result, there were too many properties for sale. “We had 900-something homes listed,” she says. “You’d go down the street and you’d see sign after sign after sign. The market was crashing so fast that people had to get out…it was really sad to see a home that had been going for $750,000 going for $475,000. But that was the reality of what was going on back then.” The Palos Verdes Peninsula is Gayle’s home base. “Palos Verdes is the only place I know where you can get clean air, space, excellent schools, and the lowest crime in LA County.” High-end homes have fewer potential buyers, she says, simply because the higher priced a home is, the fewer people will be able to buy it. “What are you looking for in a house?” she asks. “Are you going to come to Palos Verdes for the schools and the privacy, and the safety and space? It’s a fabulous bedroom community, but it does not have the shopping and does not have as many good restaurants. Or, do you want Rolling Hills where you can have a fabulous piece of property and maybe a big view, lots of privacy? It’s a gated community that’s secure, there are a lot of horses, and it’s very equestrian. I mean, Rolling Hills is a fabulous community. Or, do you want one of the McMansions in Palos Verdes Estates? What is it you’re looking for? Do you want to live in Trump Estates? You have choices. If you want to go more glitzy, you could go up to the Strand in Manhattan Beach or live in a Palos Verdes Bluff home. It might not be as big, but the views are amazing on the bluffs. You can whale watch and enjoy the sunsets. But, not many people have that kind of money.” Because the buying pool is smaller, it is essential to market a luxury home properly. “You have to be able to target the marketing to the buyer,” she explains. Technology and digital media make marketing faster, but more complex than ever before. For instance, when listing a property in Rolling Hills, one would consider different methods online. “In addition to where you would normally market a high-end property, you could list it on a website specifically dedicated to high-end horse properties. There are also sites for bluff homes all across the US. You could decide you want to live on a lake and visit lake-front homes. The internet is up to date, to the minute, real-time. It happens fast.” During this interview, Gayle was getting ready to show a high-end town house in Hermosa Beach: 162 Ardmore. “There are 12 units in this complex,” she says. “This was the first one sold when built, and is now listed by the original owner. We believe it is the best unit because it has the biggest balcony. It has a view from the rooftop deck and is in mint condition. It seems to be a very well-run homeowners association. It’s on Ardmore, but it’s on the quiet end. You don’t have a lot of traffic down here. It has very high-end finishes, and I don’t know what else you could buy

CollectibleS at stars antique market WRIT TEN BY QUINN ROBERTS PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL JONASON
Walk into Stars Antique Market at 526 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach, and it can be a bit overwhelming. However, if you’re willing to take the time and stroll through the 7,000-square-foot space, you’ll come to find a treasure trove of vintage items and collectibles. Stars has everything from European antiques and California pottery to vintage jewelry and handcrafted furniture. When talking about Stars, even owner Bonnie Moton can’t pinpoint exactly what the store sells. “There should be a word, but I can’t think of it. It is everything,” said Moton. With 65 different dealers, it’s no wonder why every inch of the store is filled with one-of-a-kind items. Moton encourages vendors to price things reasonably and bring new items in on a weekly basis to keep customers coming back.
do it, especially if the items belonged to a family member or someone important.” However, it’s not just what’s in Stars, but the building itself that makes it unique. Built in 1917, the ‘Big Red Barn’ has gone through plenty of transformations. Moton jokes that it looks like Noah’s Ark upside down. It started out as a church, then a Best Foods market, Mrs. Gooch’s and now Stars. “The success of the business has a lot to do with the building,” Moton said. “You can really see how the building was once used. It is pretty amazing.” While nearly everything can be found and bought online in today’s world, Moton says she continually hears from customers that they prefer to come to Stars and see things up close.“We are still a hidden gem. The store looks so much smaller from the
