cated to the oceanview primary suite: You
walk through an open sitting room with
beam ceilings and character-rich plank
floors to reach the fireplaced bedroom.
Dual walk-in closets are nearby, as is a
white primary bathroom with a marble-
clad footprint and amenities that make it
a true haven.
"The family loves to do spa days," says
Forbes of the calming space, where you
can soak in the tub or relax in the gener-
ous steam shower before heading into the
dedicated dry sauna. Like the rest of the
home, the design of the spacious rooftop
deck, approximately 750 square feet in
size, is equally oriented to hosting large
social events or more intimate get-togeth-
ers: There's built-in seating for
gatherings around the firepit,
and a bar where friends and
family can socialize on starry
nights or watch sunset over
panoramic ocean views.
"Second to the Strand,"
states Forbes, "Hill Section
homes sell for among the
highest prices in Manhat-
tan Beach. It's due to the
big oceanview lots and close
proximity to beach and Down-
town." From this address, for
instance, you can pedal to
the beach in five minutes and
reach the lively downtown
scenes of either Hermosa
and Manhattan Beach, both
located about a mile away, in
five minutes by car. Schools
are also nearby; Robinson
Elementary is within walking distance and
Mira Costa High School is just a mile away.
It's always a welcome return to this
home, however, where you have ample
room to rest, relax and entertain in well-re-
freshed, elegant spaces with lofty ceilings
and wood-plank floors. And enjoy the seem-
ingly endless panorama of blue of sky and
ocean that surrounds you. "The commu-
nity just spent the last several years getting
all of the utility poles and wires under-
grounded," explains Forbes. "So it's made
the view completely clear, which is very rare
in Manhattan Beach." Rare and—stepping
onto one of the home's two oversized decks,
where ocean air and waving palms amplifies
the already dynamic scene—even sweeter.
