t the corner where South
Dianthus Street meets Tennyson
Place, a new designer home has
been thoughtfully constructed
to revel in the kaleidoscope of
majestic natural beauty that surrounds it—
with a floorplan and suite of features tailored
for elevated coastal living in 2022 and beyond.
A custom home on steroids is how one observer
describes the 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom contem-
porary residence, where the build-design team
considered every square foot in their quest
to make the most of the prime lot, and its
stellar views of ocean and sunset. The home
spans approximately 5,685 square feet—with
another 1,200 square feet added for outdoor
living along its sculpted decks, which have
been given as much attention as the glamor-
ous indoor spaces.
The home was a collaboration among the
teams of Pacific Shore Construction, Tomaro
Architecture and Noelle Interiors—each
possessing a keen understanding of how to
design and build luxury homes at the beach, and
masterfully applying it at this striking residence.
"The unique orientation of the lot enabled many
of the home's most extraordinary features,"
says real estate agent Ray Joseph. "The team
did some unique architecture on the property,
enabling it to really optimize the views and
elevate the backyard, plus wrap a raised pool
around the deck, which is very difficult to do."
The
al fresco hub of the three-story home is
found on its mid-level deck, where you can
swim laps in the pool before settling into the
warm, bubbling waters of the spa. Nearby is a
sun deck where you can bask in ocean breezes,
soaking up the sights and sun before joining
friends and family around the table, neatly
shaded and steps from the gleaming outdoor
barbecue island. After dark you can lounge
around the firepit, where orange flames danc-
ing on the glossy slab add a relaxing glow to the
night, or step inside—past the open glass wall
linking the deck with a welcoming family room
with wood plank floors and a floor-to-ceiling
fireplace mantel of rough-hewn stone.
"The highest priced properties in Manhattan
Beach, such as those on the Strand, have direct
west views," points out Joseph. "This property
is not only new construction, but it has west-fac-
ing ocean views—that can't be blocked—on two
of its floors and in the main living areas, where
you spend the bulk of your time."
