out and luxuriate in the Southern California climate whenever
one gets the urge. (e bedroom suite next door also has a deck.)
Like the home's fenestration, Sellers has positioned such open
spaces for privacy as well as beauty and views.
While the house sports a modern take on beachside
traditionalism, nice surprises abound when one heads to the
lower level. "at's when the '[w]ow' factors hit you," says
Sellers. "It's a bit of surprise, for this is a very sophisticated
house on the main living levels, with a party option downstairs
with lots of entertaining options." Nearly 2,000 square feet
dedicated to leisure. ere's a professionally outfitted movie
theater with stadium seating, and a wine cellar with capacity
for about 1,000 bottles, tucked behind glass that one can see
from the game room, smartly continuing the luxurious aura of
the home's other two levels. (Even the bathroom on this floor is
tiled in marble.) Nearby is a full bar decked in Italian tile, with
a Sub-Zero beverage center and ice maker.
Of note on this floor is the abundance of light and air
throughout; a feat Sellers achieved via the use of light wells:
essentially, vertical tunnels that reach below ground to create
a window. "Light wells are key," says Sellers, pointing out that
by creating an above-ground atmosphere on a lower level, the
home is able to have its voluminous footprint. "Most houses
around here are not above 5,000 square feet on this size of a
lot," he explains.
Speaking of location, the home is located on a relaxing street
in Manhattan Beach's Tree Section, named for its bounty of
old-growth trees. It's also an especially family-friendly part of
town, making this home's mix of easy living elegance and smart,
roomy floorplan a particularly keen fit for the neighborhood.
"It's a custom-level built home with every amenity that you
would like for your family for entertaining, for the epitome of
the Manhattan Beach lifestyle," muses Range. "You can live
here for the rest of your life."
