For many seniors, the question is no longer whether to downsize, but how to do it without giving up independence, dignity, comfort, or the lifestyle they worked a lifetime to build. The ideal home today must do more than look beautiful. It must support the future, adapt to changing needs, and provide peace of mind without feeling institutional or restrictive.

That is exactly what makes 901 Deep Valley Drive, Unit 104, in Rolling Hills Estates such a rare and thoughtful opportunity.

Located within Rolling Hills Villas, a highly sought-after 55 plus community in the heart of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, this beautifully designed two-bedroom, two-bath residence offers a lifestyle that is flexible, secure, and deeply livable. Whether your vision includes aging gracefully in place with one-on-one care when needed, or locking the door and traveling the world with confidence, this home supports both paths with ease.

This is not simply a condominium. It is a carefully designed home base for the next chapter of life.

Why Aging in Place Matters More Than Ever

Aging in place means living safely, comfortably, and independently in your own home as long as possible. For many seniors, it is not just a preference. It is a priority.

National studies consistently show that older adults overwhelmingly want to remain in their homes rather than move into assisted living facilities. The emotional benefits are significant. Familiar surroundings, personal routines, privacy, and autonomy all contribute to better mental and physical health.

But aging in place only works when the home itself supports it.

This residence was designed with that reality in mind.

A Floor Plan That Supports Independence and Care When Needed

One of the most important features of this home is its two-bedroom, two-bath layout, all on a single level. There are no interior stairs, no complicated transitions, and no wasted space.

The second bedroom is especially meaningful. It offers flexibility that many senior buyers specifically look for but rarely find.

This room can serve as:

• A dedicated live-in caregiver suite
• A private guest room for family and grandchildren
• A home office or hobby room
• A future care space that allows for one-on-one assistance without sacrificing privacy

With a full bathroom nearby that includes a tub and shower combination, the space is perfectly positioned to support a caregiver arrangement down the road if desired. This allows homeowners to receive individualized care in the comfort of their own home rather than relocating to an assisted living facility.

That level of planning is powerful.

It allows you to buy once and stay.

Comfort Without Compromise

While practicality matters, comfort and beauty should never be sacrificed.

This home strikes that balance beautifully.

From the moment you enter, the space feels warm, bright, and welcoming. High ceilings create an open and airy atmosphere. Wood flooring, crown molding, arched doorways, and plantation shutters add timeless elegance without feeling formal or fussy.

The living and dining areas flow naturally, anchored by a cozy fireplace that makes the space feel like home, not a condo. Natural light fills the room, and the layout allows for both quiet evenings and easy entertaining.

A private balcony extends the living space outdoors. It is perfect for morning coffee, fresh air, or tending to a small potted garden. For many seniors, access to outdoor space without stairs or yard maintenance is a major quality of life factor.

A Kitchen Designed for Everyday Living

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for functionality and ease.

Granite countertops provide durability and visual appeal. Newer stainless steel appliances are easy to use and maintain. Ample cabinetry offers generous storage, and the breakfast bar opens directly to the living area, allowing you to stay connected while preparing meals.

Travertine tile in the entry and kitchen provides a clean, stable surface that is easy to maintain and practical for daily living.

Whether you cook every night or prefer simple meals, the kitchen supports both styles comfortably.

 

The Primary Suite as a True Retreat

The primary bedroom is a peaceful and private retreat. It offers generous space, excellent natural light, and a calm atmosphere that encourages rest and relaxation.

The ensuite bathroom features tile finishes, a wood vanity, and modern fixtures. The layout allows for ease of movement and daily routines without feeling cramped.

Closet space is generous, which is often overlooked in downsized homes. This allows you to bring what you love with you, rather than feeling forced to let go prematurely.

Built for Safety, Ease, and Peace of Mind

Aging in place is not only about space. It is also about safety and convenience.

This home includes:

• Elevator access from the secured garage to the unit level
• Secure gated entry and controlled access
• One attached parking space plus ample guest and street parking
• In-unit washer and dryer
• Central air conditioning and heating
• Tankless water heater
• Dual-glazed windows for comfort and energy efficiency
• Recessed lighting throughout

These features reduce physical strain, improve daily comfort, and eliminate many of the maintenance concerns that come with single-family homes.

A Community Designed for Connection and Security

Rolling Hills Villas is more than a building. It is a community designed specifically for active adults who value both privacy and connection.

The beautifully appointed lobby welcomes residents and guests with a sense of calm and care. At the center of the building is a resort-style atrium with a bubbling fountain, creating a tranquil environment that feels peaceful the moment you arrive.

Residents also enjoy a rooftop deck with barbecue areas, tables, lounge seating, and umbrellas. It is an ideal space for entertaining family, meeting neighbors, or simply enjoying fresh air without leaving home.

The building offers controlled access, professional management, and a strong sense of security, which is essential for seniors living independently.

The community is pet friendly, recognizing that companionship matters at every stage of life.

The Ultimate Lock and Leave Lifestyle for Active Seniors

Not every senior is slowing down.

Many are traveling more than ever.

For those who love to explore, this home offers an exceptional lock and leave lifestyle. You can close the door, travel for weeks or months, and return knowing your home has been secure, maintained, and protected.

There is no yard to manage. No exterior maintenance. No worry about security while away.

It is the perfect home base for seniors who want freedom without complexity.

A Walkable Location That Supports Independence

Location is everything, especially as driving becomes less desirable over time.

This home is ideally situated in the heart of Rolling Hills Estates, within walking distance to:

• Grocery stores and pharmacies
• Medical and dental offices
• Restaurants and cafes
• The post office
• The public library
• The Norris Theatre
• Peninsula Center and Promenade PV
• Movie theaters

For seniors who want to remain active and independent, walkability is invaluable. It reduces reliance on driving and makes daily life easier and safer.

Scenic hiking trails, golf courses, and local parks are just minutes away for those who enjoy staying active.

A Smart Financial Choice for the Long Term

Downsizing is often about simplifying finances as much as simplifying life.

This home offers a rare combination of affordability, location, and future flexibility. With reasonable monthly HOA fees that include water, sewer, trash, insurance, maintenance, and security, ongoing costs are predictable and manageable.

The ability to age in place with a caregiver also protects against the high and rising costs of assisted living facilities, which can quickly exceed the cost of home ownership.

This is not just a lifestyle decision. It is a strategic one.

Who This Home Is Perfect For

This residence is ideal for:

• Seniors who want to age in place with dignity and privacy
• Buyers planning ahead for future care needs
• Active adults who travel frequently
• Retirees looking to simplify without sacrificing quality
• Individuals or couples who want a safe, secure, low-maintenance home
• Those who value walkability and community

Few homes meet all of these needs in one place. This one does.

A Rare Opportunity on the Palos Verdes Peninsula

Opportunities like this do not come often.

A true two-bedroom home in a 55 plus community. Elevator access. Walkable location. Caregiver flexibility. Lock and leave convenience. All within one of the most desirable areas of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

This is a home designed not just for today, but for the years ahead.

If you are thinking about downsizing, planning for the future, or helping a loved one transition into a more supportive environment, this is a property worth serious consideration.
