Elin Vanderlip - The Grand Dame of the Palos Verdes Peninsula By Maureen Megowan / RE/Max Palos Verdes Execs
Contributing Photographer
Elin Regina Brekke was born in 1919 in Oslo Norway, the daughter of a lumber factory
Paul Jonason
owner. In 1946, Elin met Kelvin Vanderlip, one of the sons of Frank Vanderlip Sr., the Founding Father of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, on a weekend cruise to Catalina,
Contributing Writers Pamela Corante-Hansen Quinn Roberts Denise Kano
and married him soon thereafter. After marrying, Elin and Kelvin took up residence in the Cottage, the family’s summer home in the Portuguese Bend area. They lived there from 1946 to 1950, when they were given the adjacent “Villa Narcissa” as a gift from Kelvin’s mother Narcissa Vanderlip. Villa Narcissa was originally built by Frank Vanderlip as a guesthouse for The Cottage; however Elin made a number of additions to the property. The Villa has almost 12 acres of land, including 5 acres of land with

many steps up a cypress lined stairway leading to a “Temple of Eliana” overlooking the property. The property also includes wonderful gardens and 13 small cottages that Elin built for income purposes. During the 1940’s, Villa Narcissa, hosted many Hollywood celebrities. Myrna Low, had lived there before World War II, and Paulette Goddard and Burgess Meredith had honeymooned there. In 1946, Kelvin hosted his good friend Ted Geisel (a.k.a “Dr. Seuss”, the famous children’s book author) during the summer, and he later became the godfather to Kelvin Vanderlip Jr. Elin and Kelvin were instrumental in the establishment of many landmarks in Rancho Palos Verdes. Kelvin headed up the Chadwick School Board (which land had been donated by Frank Vanderlip Sr.), donated land and oversaw plans for the Wayfarer’s Chapel, built a four-room schoolhouse (now St. Peters by the Sea Church)

and — as president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce - lobbied hard for Marineland. Elin and the Vanderlip family also played a large role in the formation and development of the Portuguese Bend Riding Club (which had been originally built by Frank Vanderlip as riding stables known as “The Farmery”), the Portuguese Bend Beach Club (which Kelvin developed), and Marymount College. Elin also donated land for the construction of Nansen field, originally a

Although Elin never married after husband Kelvin Vanderlip succumbed to lung cancer in 1956, she found love for 40 years with producer Lehman “Lee” Katz (“The Train,” “Apocalypse Now,” “Fiddler on the Roof”), with whom she traveled to locations all over the world. Katz died at Villa Narcissa at the age of 89 in 2003. Elin passed away at the age of 90 in 2009. Her legacy, as well as that of the entire Vanderlip family, will live on forever on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

With tons of cupcakes, cookies and brownies, the Cake Bakeshop in Manhattan Beach has become the place where locals go to fulfill their sweet tooth cravings.

While Cake Bakeshop has the staples one would expect from any bakery, including red velvet cupcakes, walnut fudge brownies and snickerdoodle cookies, Mandracchia also has seasonal specialties, with most of the shop’s sweets ranging in price from 75 cents to $3. Making seasonal fruit scones, Mandracchia currently has blackberry, strawberry and blueberry scones. In the summer, as more seasonal fruits arrive at local markets, she also plans to make a variety of fruit tarts. Cake Bakeshop also offers gluten-free and vegan options.

Putting new sweets out every six weeks to two months, Mandracchia will be doing that once again with summer right around the corner. Along with trying to make more savory dishes, she wants to get a soft serve ice cream machine in the shop. While, Mandracchia is planning on only one flavor for now, she’ll make the base and offer a specific cookie to go with it. “I always have something different,” Mandracchia said. “I have staples, but I always try to switch it up.”

The beach lifestyle is all here for you to enjoy – surfing, sunning, biking, running, picnics in Valley Park or just strolling down the Strand into nearby Manhattan Beach for dinner. This home enjoys plenty of natural light and sweet ocean breezes that drift into the private Master Bedroom that opens to the patio and deck. Once you toast the setting sun from the back yard ocean peek view deck, you will know this is the home. This home lives large with so much to offer for those in the know. Add a second story one day and you will enjoy splendid views of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the crashing surf just down the street.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
When was the last time you saw a new apartment building being constructed in the beach cities? Since 1990, there have been less than 100 new apartment units added to the stock of apartments in Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beach. During that period, there have been over 1000 apartment units demolished in favor of new condos for sale. A net loss of 1000 apartments. No new apartments planned. Apartment buildings at the beach are EXTINCT.
Has the demand to rent in the beach cities declined over the past 20 years? What do you think? Ask a landlord: There are a dozen qualified applicants for every vacancy in the beach cities, and landlords are enjoying their best year in 15 years, filling vacancies with over-qualified, high income professionals who are paying 20% more than just a year ago.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND. It’s the law of the land - in the apartment business. Two of the best located existing buildings left in the beach cities. Buy to hold, then tear down and build new townhomes for sale. Present income sustains the buildings. Build-out doubles your down. Most interiors are remodeled into owner’s units. You don’t live in locations this special. You don’t own apartments remodeled like these.
$5 million per building. Seller will carry with 30% down.

The hotel was built at a cost of $500,000 and opened on May 3, 1890. The Redondo Beach Railway Station was located at the back of Hotel Redondo. Visitors who could not afford to stay at Hotel Redondo stayed at nearby Tent City. Patrons were charged $3.00 per week, or $10.00 per month for a tent. Wooden floors and electric lights were included in the price. The Hotel Redondo was sold in 1910 to Newton J. Skinner and W. J. Conner, who planned to revamp the hotel at a cost of $25,000.

MYTH #9: THE LENDER WILL SUE THE HOMEOWNER AFTER THE CLOSE OF A SHORT SALE (OR FORECLOSURE, OR DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE) FOR THE DEFICIENCY.
DEBUNKED: California has certain anti-deficiency protections in place for short sales and foreclosures, depending on the circumstances.* NOTE: THIS ACT IS DUE TO EXPIRE AT THE END OF 2012.
MYTH #10: AS AN AGENT, I DON’T NEED ADDITIONAL TRAINING TO LEARN ALL OF THE INS AND OUTS OF THE SHORT SALE PROCESS. AND IF I WAIT LONG ENOUGH, THE MARKET WILL RECOVER SO I MAY NOT NEED TO DEAL WITH SHORT SALES AT ALL.
Selling the Beach Lifestyle
DEBUNKED: How long are you willing to wait? Based on the most recent housing reports, home values are still falling. Hopefully, 2012 will see the bottom of the housing market but price recovery may continue to take some time.
2012 IS THE YEAR OF THE SHORT SALE. As an agent, one of my most valuable business tools is the understanding of how to help underwater homeowners avoid foreclosure. Please call me for a confidential professional consultation at no charge. My hope is to “Help You” understand your options.
