The most unique and fabulous townhome in Manhattan Beach, with a sophisticated open floor plan and eye-popping, panoramic, unblockable ocean views from Catalina to Point Dume. Designed by the late contemporary architect, Pat Killen, and remodeled twice down to the studs, once in 2010, when it was improved with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels on the ocean side that open up the corner of the home, effectively creating a giant indoor-outdoor room, with wide-open privacy. A wind-protected rear patio was added with a bi-folding window/counter to open it to the kitchen. And it was remodeled again very recently with no expense spared. From the Boffi kitchen with unrivaled lacquered cabinets, stylish La Cornue range and glass-front fridge, to the primary suite with backlit Chanel Onyx stone counters, and dreamy sculptural lighting fixtures from renowned artisans, this exceptional home was skillfully reimagined. There is so much nuanced detail to appreciate here; I can’t wait for you to experience the brass and lucite handrails, custom antiqued mirror wall, lit built-in cabinets, and fluted limestone fireplace. The dark herringbone, hand-oiled white oak floors provide a dramatic footprint for this romantic space that celebrates the architecture, interior design, and the view, blending all seamlessly as if in a dream. Imagine the long summer evenings on the patio from which you can see through the entire upper floor to the dramatic views. A secluded office space and moody powder room with gorgeous stone counters and crystal wall sconces complete the living space. But there is still more to explore on this level. The accordion window opens the kitchen onto the bar of the BBQ deck complete with professional BBQ, sink, and built-in seating, black Dekton counters, and stone floor. The whole deck is covered with a metal pergola with shade slats. The primary suite includes a comfortable walkout deck. The primary bath is one of the most luxurious spaces you’ve ever seen with a brass shower enclosure and a completely custom layout with bespoke materials. The primary walk-in closet is designed like a high-end boutique, providing lots of enclosed cabinets, drawers, and storage for precious clothing and accessories. All the bedrooms are en suite. With easy beach access, a stunning beach shower, three-zone AC, integrated sound, security, climate control, automated window treatments, and three essentially enclosed or covered parking spaces. Perfection at the beach.
