If you are looking for a run of the mill cookie-cutter home in Manhattan Beach, perhaps you should look elsewhere. If on the other hand, you want a home filled with the personality and style that meets your shifting moods, you will love the way this remodeled luxury residence lives. The feeling is inspired from the moment you open the gate and see the trussed beam front porch and private shrouded front yard, reminiscent of classic Pasadena craftsman homes. The first impression at the front door is the great room with island kitchen and black steel doors leading to one of the vignetted exterior yard spaces, seamlessly spreading between the home and the detached two-car garage, which has cleverly been converted into indoor outdoor space, with a glass accordion door that opens 15 feet (and is easily converted back). Lustrous hardwood floors accent the living space. The sparking white cabinets in the chef's kitchen, with its complete array of state of the art appliances, are accented by dark stone counters and pulls. Natural light pours in and drenches the interior with warmth through an array of glass windows and doors. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor with two full baths. Plus a private family room at the back of the home, that is highlighted by a wood burning fireplace, and access to a super cool and very private yard. And there is so much more. Up a flight of stairs on the exterior, is a magical elevated deck AND nestled perfectly at the back of this immense 50 X 150 lot is an amazing elevated pool. As you can imagine, the atmosphere at night is perfectly cerebral; your family and guests alike will discover all of the dreamy spaces on the inside and outside of this home. If it feels as though we are jumping inside, then outside, then back again, this is how the home reveals itself, opening like a flower, to display the wonders within. And the greatest spot of all may be the Primary suite sanctum, perched alone on the second floor, with vaulted wood beam ceilings, and crackling fireplace, two walk in closets, and a luxurious bath with old fashions steeping tub, separate shower, and dual lavs, all lavishly appointed. The best part may be the view from the primary deck across the yard to the pool and pool deck, which are at the same elevation - like the elevated feeling you get throughout this truly unique and glorious home. So convenient to shopping, award winning schools, transportation and of course the most pristine beaches on the planet!
