About this home
Welcome to Villa Molori, a legacy estate along the famed Palisades Beach Road in Santa Monica. Once graced by legends like Charlie Chaplin and Howard Hughes, this exclusive enclave known as the original "Billionaire's Beach"is now home to tech moguls, film executives, and captains of industry seeking the ultimate coastal retreat.
