Standing on the Strand
at 25th Street in Manhattan Beach, one can watch white-tipped
waves fold into the shore and birds soar across powder-blue
skies. Along this broad stretch of oceanfront, the atmosphere is
quiet and residential; yet the shopping and dining of Downtown
and the North End is only a short stroll away. Just four homes
away from the Strand, poised along the pleasing wide span of
the 25th Street walk street, is a recently completed fresh resi-
dence of approximately 4,275 square feet. Designed as a place
for family and guests to gather comfortably at the beach, the
architectural home at 2415 Manhattan Avenue has also been
keenly crafted with forward-thinking elements to distinguish it
from other well-heeled area homes.
Its exterior is pure Modernist beach home, with an angular
silhouette that's accentuated with a flat roof and overhanging eaves.
Softening its profile is a textured menagerie of rake stucco and
pale-hued wood in an eye-pleasing natural palette of white, sand
and slate. "It's a one-off," says real estate agent Barry Host of the
home. "It's really thought-provoking, really custom and designed
to maximize the views." The home's design premise—a cleanly
sophisticated architectural home with uber-modern elements—
was conceived by its owners, who enlisted architect Anthony Laney
(Laney LA), along with Tyler Krikorian (Krikorian Construction) and
interior designer Anita Lang (IMI Design Studio) to execute.
There's plenty of premium features meant to make the most of
living along the Pacific Ocean, like Fleetwood sliding doors and
floor-to-ceiling windows. Al fresco spaces, from spacious decks
to intimate bedroom balconies, welcome in the sky, sea breeze
and ocean at every turn—including a manicured outdoor lounge
along the walk street where you can host about 50 guests on a
sunny day or under starlit nights. When you walk in the front door,
however, two statement features instantly establish the blue-rib-
bon design and build credentials of the home.
