where, incidentally, one of the home's most pleasing extras
is found. It's a two-bedroom and one-bathroom guest suite,
complete with a walk-out patio nicely shrouded from the street
by greenery. "It works great as any number of things," says
real estate agent Shawn Dugan of this space. "Anything from
having the teenagers hang out down there, to guest quarters,
or an in-law area."
This new feature is one of many implemented by the home-
owners in the five-bedroom home during the last few years.
"Since they've lived there," says Dugan of the owners, "they've
continued to customize and add high-end finishes." The result,
he points out, is "a home that's better than your brand-new,
typical spec home." Among the upgrades is home automation,
controlling everything from the garage and water, to music and
thermostats. There's a comprehensive security package with
six exterior cameras, and even a place to park your golf court.
The latter is a natural given the home's address—an uber-con-
venient location that's just a few minutes from the stores and
eateries in the downtown districts of both Hermosa Beach and
Manhattan Beach. Here, it feels like you're living in both towns.
