says Forbes. Upstairs one finds another roomy, sunlit
level where one can stroll along the central catwalk
that overlooks the space below, and links together
different quadrants of the home. Five of the home's
six bedrooms are on this floor; nearly all of them suites
with doors leading out to a balcony or the spacious
terrace, about 850 square feet, where one has instant
access to the tropical setting below. "Pretty much
every room in the house gives you a sense of the
indoor-outdoor lifestyle," notes Forbes. "There are
picture windows everywhere and French doors looking
out at the lush, mature landscape." The master suite,
located across the way from the other bedrooms, is a
private retreat with a stone-clad fireplace and cathe-
dral ceiling. French doors open the space to the terrace,
and even the walk-in closet has sunlight and views. The
master bath is oversized, with a walk-in shower and an
oval-shaped soaking tub where one can gaze out at the
garden scene below.
Located a block west of the Valley Ardmore
greenbelt, the home occupies a best-of-both-worlds
location—less than 10 minutes on foot from the
shops and dining on Pier Avenue, yet situated on a
peaceful cul-de-sac with sidewalks and ample parking.
Should one need a lot of the latter, the home is outfit-
ted with a roomy two-and-a-half car garage revamped
with custom storage, a unique epoxy floor and a Tesla
charging station signed by Elon Musk. This classically
California styled home is a tech-friendly one: recent
additions include a comprehensive home automation
system to control everything from the lights and secu-
rity to the TVs, music and more. "It has complete Alexa
capabilities," Forbes describes. "You can say 'Alexa,
turn the kitchen lights to 80 percent.'" Another notable
comfort is a built-in home theater with cushy seating
for eight, where a karaoke station and a gaming system
add versatility beyond movie nights.
"It's one of a kind," says Forbes of the home. One
imagines such a spacious and elegant coastal property,
near to both beach and town, tucked away from the
fray on a quiet street in Hermosa Beach. Already it's
a tall order. Add spacious grounds that are decked out
in the style of a warm-weather luxury resort, and the
home becomes that much more special. "If someone
is looking for all of this, it's really the only house they'll
find," Forbes assures.
