ucked behind tall lush hedges
and a private gate on one of Manhat-
tan Beach's most leisured streets,
this stunning five-bedroom Euro-
pean-styled villa at 1000 Highview
Avenue possesses a rare combination: peaceful
seclusion with an expansive lot and top-of-
the-world ocean views—yet moments from
Downtown and the beach.
"This location is really special," states real
estate agent Jen Caskey, who has been trans-
acting luxury properties in Manhattan Beach for
three decades. "Highview has very little traf-
fic, and this is the most westerly portion of the
Hill Section, so you get ocean views but you're
also incredibly walkable to town and the beach.
That combination is huge."
At first glimpse, what makes this property
notable is its rare, corner-lot configuration—the
home occupies an entire city block, spanning
about one-fifth of an acre, with frontage on
three streets.
This unique positioning floods the inte-
rior with natural light from multiple exposures
while providing an uncommon sense of open-
ness and privacy. "You get incredible light
because there are no neighbors on three sides
of the house," she explains. "Between 3:30
and 5 p.m., it's magic lighting. The more time
I spend there, the more I love it."
CALIFORNIA LIVING, EUROPEAN STYLE
The grand residence is approximately 5,541
square feet, with a European-inspired layout
that centers around a private courtyard. French
doors from the living room, dining room,
kitchen and family room all open onto this
central outdoor space. "It's built around the
courtyard with the pool and jacuzzi," Caskey
notes. "So it's this great blend of indoor and
outdoor living that feels very European."
The paradise-like setting is decked out
with a sunlit pool and spa, as well as a fire pit
and outdoor fireplace for cozying up on cool
evenings and crisp days. Mature landscaping
boosts the Mediterranean atmosphere, includ-
ing a flourishing passion fruit tree on a trellis
that produces fruit year-round. The courtyard is
framed by palm trees and established plantings,
while views span the sparkling Pacific Ocean to
the west, and some of the town's highest-value
estates to the north and south.
Upon entering through the courtyard gate—
itself a nod to European villa design—guests
discover a home that balances grandeur with
warmth. A sunken formal living room filled with
natural light welcomes friends, while European
white oak floors flow through the main level.
