ocated high above the street
in the iconic Hill Section, on a
sought-after Southwest-facing
corner lot, 215 S. Poinsettia Ave. is
an address extraordinaire, defined by
a sublime Santa Barbara-style coastal estate
that combines the feel of a private resort with
prime access for a best of Manhattan Beach
proposition.
"It's rare to find this much interior space in
Manhattan Beach," agent Ed Kaminsky says
of the 9,047-square-foot residence, which
offers six bedrooms, eight baths, multiple living
spaces, a club-inspired basement, a tropical
backyard oasis and more. "The house has it
all." Including an artful design with a unifying
theme of height, light, and flow that leverages
its position high on the hill. "It feels like your
neighbors are a mile away," adds Kaminsky,
noting that, in addition to offering private views
of both Hill Section and Sand Section homes,
the house enjoys distant views of the ocean
and Palos Verdes.
Amid this backdrop, the sprawling,
eye-catching estate sets a modern Mediter-
ranean tone. Flanked by palm trees as tall
as churches, the home's neutrally hued, tile-
roofed façade complements a picturesque
mix of greenery, hardscape, and wrought iron
accents for an artisan aesthetic with contem-
porary overtones. Its defining rounded entrance,
meanwhile, centers an exquisitely arched front
door that gives gracious way to a radiant interior,
marked by soaring ceilings and natural light,
and featuring fresh white oak flooring juxta-
posed with warm rich wood and natural stone.
A drama in three thoughtfully arranged
floors, the interior begins to take flight in the
classy, incandescent foyer, where sweeping
dual staircases and statement chandeliers
are the scenery of an entry level that flows
easy as a dream. Of the five bedrooms on this
floor, each is a sanctuary with ample stor-
age and good light; four are ensuite, and one
opens to a private, pool-facing deck via debo-
nair French doors. These private quarters are
artfully composed around a spacious and sunny
living room with a fireplace and an adjacent
flex space/study area—a brightly lit bonus with
lovely views. With multiple glass doors that
open this inviting social core to the flourishing
backyard, entry level makes an idyllic indoor/
outdoor transition.
Positioned as the home's pleasure center,
the tropical backyard oasis with White Lotus
vibes is both a private refuge and entertain-
er's ideal, fixed for five-star fun year-round
with a fireplace, a pool, a spa, a swim-up bar
and, in the most conspicuous nod to island
style, a grass-roofed tiki bar that faces the pool,
making it easy to float by the bar for lunch or
