Adjacent to the great room is the spacious breakfast nook
overlooking the backyard and gourmet kitchen with a massive
slab island of marble atop blue cabinets. Every necessity a chef
requires, from a Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual dishwashers, Wolf
Range and cooktop, to a convenient walk-in pantry, all amid a
pleasant backdrop of candied brick tiles in Robin egg blue. It
beckons plucking a rare bottle of wine from the Sub-Zero wine
tower before heading outside to cozy up by the outdoor fireplace.
Trimmed with vegetation and neighboring mature trees, the
pool-ready backyard is private and comfy.
Upstairs, along with the aforementioned master suite, is the
balance of the bedrooms and an open study nook for kids or
possibly an alcove for yoga. "e first floor rooms open to beautiful
garden porches while the upstairs bedrooms have twinkling city
lights," shares L'Esperance. ere are even views [spanning] from
downtown to the Westside with the Santa Monica Mountains
sparkling in the background. Meanwhile, balconies and
window seats make it easy to take in these lovely vistas
day or night. Refreshingly, the jack-and-jill bathroom
connecting the two front bedrooms feature barn door-
style glass shower doors—a reminder that, throughout
all of the bathrooms and powder rooms, are individually
designed mosaic tiles and custom fixtures.
Beyond aesthetics is the home's sophistication, including
the dedicated home theater tucked behind sliding barn
doors, high-end speakers throughout, whole house water
purifying system, and tankless water heaters. Reaching
the basement to catch a movie, meanwhile, is easy via a
full-sized residential elevator. Here, a stunning full-size
wet bar with dramatic cut-glass mosaic backsplash sets
the stage for a great entertaining space. Just across, the
huge game room can also accommodate dining, seating,
and gaming. Also included on this floor are the guest en-
suite bedroom and a powder room.
Perched atop the beloved Manhattan Beach Hill Section,
this striking estate has it all, including close proximity
to sand-and-sea, the amenities of downtown Manhattan
Beach and Robinson Elementary School, MBMS, and
Mira Costa High School. How fitting for a home that is
ideal for a growing family and clearly the class of its field.
