Back outside,
the skill of the
designer is fully
on display—you
feel completely
immersed in the
beachfront envi-
ronment, yet are
buffered from the
Strand and walk
street by neat rows
of tall grass and elevated, landscaped
tiers. Likewise for the charming veranda
that runs along the side of the home on an
upper level. "It's been so incredibly well
cared for and updated over the years," says
Forbes of the home, which was completed
in 1996.
The ground level boasts a particularly
well-executed floorplan: A hallway leads to
a bright, beachfront bedroom suite made
more luxurious with its private access to
the terrace, large guest closet and a bath-
room with marble walk-in shower and
vanity. There's another bedroom on this
floor, which can easily transform into a
cozy den; and extra niceties like a bubbling
indoor-outdoor spa and a wood-crafted
sauna with room for six. "You can almost
have a personal spa here," says Forbes.
Notable also is the oversized garage, with
parking for five cars ("If you have smaller
cars you can fit seven in there," Forbes
remarks), and room for up to three more
vehicles right outdoors.
At this property, the generous scenes of
sand, sea and sky are always fresh—seen
from different perspectives, and engaged
by the windows and outdoor living spaces,
all designed to savor this special point on
the Strand. Views reach from Palos Verdes
to Santa Monica, and at night, a pale glow
of lights shimmer along the coast. And
here, at one of the Strand's best points,
is an elegant house with the comfortable
ease of a home.
