dominates the space, allowing for no blind
spots, so that one can prepare a feast or
help with homework while monitoring kids
or events in the backyard. It also provides
the kitchen with plenty of natural light and
lovely leafy views.
Step down from the kitchen into the
more intimate, high-ceilinged family room,
which opens to the covered outside patio
deck in a soaring example of indoor/outdoor
living. "It's unusual to find a home with an
atypically spacious, useable and broad
turfed backyard surrounded with a privacy
hedge without compromising the natural
light that make it a year-round oasis," Alta-
mura says of this resort-worthy refuge with
a retractable awning, outdoor speakers, a
luxury spa and hot tub, and an outdoor
kitchen with grill, smoker, fridge, and
counter space, plus a modern multi-colored
gas fireplace and an outdoor family room.
The raised deck patio offers another cozy
outdoor space with dining table for eight
along with overhead heaters. From this
incredible space, one has a front-row seat
to the 2,000-square-foot, high-grade turf
yard, its flatness perfect for soccer games,
all while cocooned in park-like privacy.
Rounding out the ground floor is a
custom, extremely quiet home rear office
with steel-glass 8-foot door that allows for
a true private work-from-home environ-
ment; a bedroom perfect for guests, an
aging parent, or an older family member;
and a two-car garage with built-in cabinetry,
counters and overhead storage designed to
maximize usability and functionality.
Upstairs is the province of privacy. The
open, abundantly bright space at the top
of the stairs that is currently being used
as a home gym (but could also be an ideal
study area) is a prelude to the bulk of the
home's bedrooms, all with built-ins and
closets configured for maximum storage.
Among these is the master suite, a beau-
tifully finished exodus from the rest of the
house with wood floors, a striking fireplace
surrounded in a lustrous stone continued in
the spa-quality master bath with a double
vanity, a giant shower, standalone soaking
tub and more.
Located within close proximity to a
relaxed and well-rounded Manhattan Beach
lifestyle, 1852 6th Street is a best of both
worlds proposition—a blend of intimate
family living and entertainer's dream in
perfect condition for under $5 million. In
that way, it's priceless too.
