6415 Riggs Place: A Bluff-Front Estate in Upper North Kentwood

Main Content

Published on July 22, 2026 by Stephanie Younger

There are perhaps two dozen parcels in all of Westchester that sit directly on the bluff with an unobstructed sweep across the Los Angeles basin. Riggs Place holds several of them, and 6415 Riggs Place is among the most compelling. The view runs a full 180 degrees, from the Pacific Ocean across the city skyline to the mountains beyond, and it is the kind of vantage that changes character six or seven times between morning and night.

The home itself, custom-built in 2016, was designed to make that view the organizing principle of daily life. Six bedrooms, six bathrooms, 6,125 square feet of interior space, set on a lot of nearly 15,000 square feet in Upper North Kentwood. It is offered at $5,695,000.

For anyone tracking the top of the Westchester market, this is a property worth understanding in detail. Here is a closer look.

The Approach and the Entry

The house announces itself carefully rather than loudly. A gracious entry opens into a dramatic foyer anchored by a sweeping staircase, wide-plank wood floors, and a statement chandelier that sets the tone for the level of finish throughout. Natural light moves through the space from multiple exposures, which is one of the practical advantages of a bluff-front orientation that many buyers do not fully appreciate until they stand in it.

The floor plan flows from there through expansive living and dining spaces designed to work at two very different scales. Intimate enough for a family dinner on a Tuesday, and genuinely capable of hosting large-scale entertaining when the occasion calls for it. That dual functionality is harder to execute than it sounds, and it is one of the things this floor plan does particularly well.

The Kitchen and the Wine Room

The chef's kitchen is anchored by an oversized island with breakfast seating, and the specification level is serious throughout: dual ovens, a full-size side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, a farmhouse sink, extensive custom cabinetry, and a generous walk-in pantry. It is a kitchen built for people who actually cook, and for households where the kitchen is the center of gravity.

Adjacent to it is one of the property's more distinctive features: a private wine tasting room with a temperature-controlled cellar holding more than 1,000 bottles. It is designed to display a collection rather than simply store one, which makes it a genuine entertaining space rather than a utility room.

The Backyard, Which Is the Point

Walls of folding glass doors open the interior directly onto what is unquestionably the property's signature feature. The backyard is an extraordinary retreat built around the view: a resort-style pool with a slide and spa, a pool house, a built-in outdoor kitchen, and multiple distinct dining and lounging areas arranged to take advantage of different times of day and different kinds of gathering.

A sprawling faux-grass lawn provides genuine recreation space, which is uncommon at this level of finish and increasingly rare on Westside lots of any size. It also enhances the property's privacy and sense of seclusion.

And beyond all of it, the panorama. City skyline, mountains, ocean. This is the reason the bluff parcels on Riggs Place trade the way they do, and this property makes as full a use of the position as any home in the neighborhood.

Upstairs: The Primary Suite and Beyond

A spacious family room serves as the upstairs gathering space, which is a smart plan choice in a home of this size. It gives the household a second center of gravity separate from the main-level entertaining spaces.

The primary suite captures the city view and includes a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, an oversized shower, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. Three additional ensuite bedrooms provide privacy and comfort, with select rooms featuring heated floors, and an upstairs utility room adds the kind of practical convenience that matters in daily life more than it does in listing photos.

The Main Level Flexibility

On the main floor, an ensuite bedroom and a dedicated home office suite give the property genuine flexibility. That combination works for guests, for multigenerational living, or as a proper secondary workspace, which is a meaningful consideration for the professional buyers who make up much of the demand at this price point on the Westside. A spacious mudroom rounds out the practical infrastructure.

Why Upper North Kentwood

Upper North Kentwood occupies a specific position in the Westchester market. It combines the neighborhood's essential character, larger flat lots and a genuine residential community feel, with the elevation and view corridors that only a handful of Westside neighborhoods offer at all.

The bluff-front parcels are the most sought-after inventory in the area, and they come available rarely. When they do, they draw interest from across the Westside and increasingly from buyers in the South Bay aerospace corridor who want the view and the scale without moving further from the Hawthorne and El Segundo employment centers.

The broader Westchester market context supports the case as well. The 90045 single-family market has held its pricing year over year through 2026, with months of supply running well below the level that would indicate a balanced market. The structural constraints on Westside supply, combined with the LAX people mover, ongoing Olympic infrastructure investment, and the sustained demand from the aerospace and technology corridors, continue to strengthen the neighborhood's long-term position.

A bluff-front estate on Riggs Place sits at the intersection of all of that.
