large jacuzzi tub, glass shower, dual vani-
ties, and private water closet.
Further down the entry-level hall, an
abundantly bright gallery of gorgeous glass
doors includes direct access to the bounti-
ful backyard patio and leads to the fabulous
game room with corner bar and fireplace
beyond. Two bedrooms with en-suites as
well as a laundry room and an additional
bathroom round out this level, which offers
stair access to the generously dimensioned
basement that presently accommodates
another bedroom, substantial storage and
a media room that can easily morph into a
home gym or be used for another purpose.
Upstairs, adorned with a dazzling chan-
delier, space built for a grand piano and
copious windows offering extravagant
views, the home's hospitable heart unfolds
in a thoughtfully choreographed manner
in tune with the rest of the house. "The
entire upstairs level, home to the main
living, dining, and kitchen spaces, is truly
breath-taking," Forbes says of the space.
"As you ascend the grand staircase, you are
immediately greeted by panoramic ocean
vistas that stretch across the entire front
of the home. These unobstructed views
set an idyllic backdrop for both elegant
entertaining and elevated
everyday living." As the hub
of the home's daily activity,
the amply appointed kitchen
opens to the cozy family
room and breakfast nook and
includes an extensive butler's
pantry connecting to the
formal dining space that flows
with ease into the main living
room with stone fireplace, wet
bar, and access to the front
balcony, all bookended by
vistas of the ocean and backyard alike.
Thriving with sun, swaying palms and
birdsong, the resort-style backyard is an
abundant Shangri-La of stone, natural
splendor, wrought-iron accents, and tran-
quil water features that fans out in two
lush tiers. "The thoughtfully tiered layout
fosters a natural and seamless flow, effort-
lessly blending the home's indoor and
outdoor spaces," Forbes notes. "The lower
patio offers ample room for outdoor living
and dining, extending effortlessly into the
adjacent bar and game room, making it
perfect for hosting gatherings. It's a full
extension of the house. The yard's upper
tier—home to a large pool and spa, sitting
areas, sundeck, and fireplace—further
enhances the property's private retreat-
like ambiance, creating the ultimate oasis."
Above the garage, an outstanding guest
house with full bath and picturesque
outdoor deck overlooking the backyard is
currently being used as a home office but
doubles as the sixth bedroom.
A once-in-a-lifetime Manhattan Beach
