he uppermost floor of 616
12th Street in Manhattan Beach
offers a view of endless blue ocean
and cloud-free skies that never gets
old. Walking out of the elevator and
into the polished space, you're met with an
instant shot of calm and refreshment at the
scene—particularly as the floor-to-ceiling glass
walls slide out of sight and the fresh coastal air
mingles with the home's cleancut, luxe interior.
"The ocean view is wide open and 180
degrees," describes real estate agent Mike
Pennings. "You can see the whole bay, as well
as Palos Verdes, Catalina Island and all the
way north to Malibu." And enjoy it all from
this sculpted perch, where you can soak up
the sun's rays on the deck, or gather under
the covered outdoor lounge, where music and
movies pipe in while nature provides this strik-
ing backdrop. Even after dark, flames in the
outdoor fireplace add glow to the stars twin-
kling over the darkened sea. "And," the agent
adds, "you're in town with this view."
Aside from its stellar ocean views, this
home—completed in 2022 and situated in
a tucked-away residential neighborhood—is
just a minute or two away on foot from the
boutiques and sleek eateries of Downtown
Manhattan Beach. "It's got spectacular views
like a penthouse," Pennings says, "but then
you step outside and walk seven houses down
the street, and you're in a bustling downtown,
with all the top restaurants."
The 5-bedroom and 4.5-bathroom residence
also has much going for it within its sun-kissed
interior. Created by TriWest Development, a
luxury home firm producing one-of-a-kind
designer residences in the Beach Cities and
on the Westside, this approximately 4,300
square foot home features three roomy levels,
all neatly designed to accommodate high-end
beach living in 2023 and well beyond.
The kitchen, for instance, is a modern
magnet for daily gathering, and smartly occu-
pies its own roomy section of the upper level.
It's visually centered around a robust center
island made of veiny Arabescato marble
sourced from Tuscan quarries. Around it, appli-
ances are high-grade and all neatly integrated
