6606 Channelview Court, Rancho Palos Verdes: a remodeled ocean-view house beside Terranea, sold at asking in seven days

Sold

Seven days is what happens when the price is right and the view is real. 6606 Channelview Court is a 2,635 square foot house built in 1990 on a cul-de-sac in the planned community beside Terranea, on the south side of the Peninsula, with 270 degrees of ocean from the living floor: the Terranea golf course in the foreground, Catalina across the channel, and the bluffs running east. The owners had remodeled it with new white oak floors throughout, a new kitchen, a new glass balcony with frameless rails, and updated baths. We listed it at $2,198,000 in the spring of 2025, it was in contract within the week, and it closed at the full asking price on May 13, at $834 per square foot. The community’s clubhouse, gym, tennis and pickleball courts, sauna, spa and pool are included in dues of $475 a month.

What was the house?

A two level house entered at the top through a Zen garden, with the view from the front door. The main level holds the dining area, with windows onto the golf course and the water, the living room with floor-to-ceiling doors to the new glass balcony, the remodeled kitchen with bar seating and a breakfast nook, a bath, a fourth bedroom and a garage with direct access, its floor newly epoxied. Downstairs are three bedrooms, two baths, the laundry and the door to the yard and its brick patio; the primary suite has the ocean view, a walk-in closet and a bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a second bedroom on the level shares the view. The community sits on a walking path to the Terranea grounds and the coastal trails.

What was the goal?

A fast, full-price sale to a buyer who understood what a south-side ocean view in a maintained community is worth. The stakes on this part of the hill are the association and the view: a buyer wants to know the community is well run and that nothing will be built between the deck and the water, and a listing that cannot answer both on the first weekend loses a week. The strategy was to price at $2,198,000, at the number the recent sales in the community supported rather than above it, to have the association package and the view documentation ready with the disclosures, and to open on a single weekend so that the buyers who wanted it competed for it.

It worked as intended. The house was in contract in seven days and closed at $2,198,000, the full asking price, on May 13, 2025. Pricing at the market rather than above it is what produced the speed; the seller gave up nothing for it.

What does the sale say about Rancho Palos Verdes?

That the south side of the Peninsula, from Terranea toward Portuguese Bend, prices its ocean views with the same discipline as the north side once the buyer is satisfied on the community and the ground; see Rancho Palos Verdes for the neighborhoods, our note on the view restoration ordinance for how the city protects a view, and the Coastal Commission page for the rules that apply to any change within the coastal zone on this side of the hill.

Update: sold

If you own on the south side of the Peninsula and want a fast, full-price sale rather than a long one, the price has to be the market’s number on day one. Send Neil the address and we will tell you what that number is. The Sellers page describes how we launch a listing.
