oaring ambitions for effort-
less coastal living reach new heights
in 2965 La Carlita, an exceptional
ocean-view home in the highly-val-
ued Hermosa Hills.
"If you want to be in the Beach Cities, a
beautiful house in newer move-in condition
with lots of light and plenty of size is very hard
to find right now," agent Ed Kaminsky says of
this 7,832-square-foot residential sensation.
Located on a corner lot, the home features 7
bedrooms and 7.5 baths across three levels,
among them a built-out entertainer's basement
with home theater and full bar, multiple outdoor
spaces including a vacation-inspired backyard
and a large rooftop deck, plus a 3-stop elevator,
4-car garage, and Control4 technology. "This
house checks every box."
In her search for the ideal home, the resi-
dence's current owner says, "We had a very
specific wish list: a large backyard, a cul-de-
sac location, and ocean views. Finding all three
in one South Bay property felt nearly impossible
until we found this home."
Immaculate and expansive with clean,
elongated lines, the house declares itself as
desirable from the curb, its modern, sugar-white
facade accented with timeless materials of
honey-hued wood and textured limestone that,
together with the home's tidy landscape, enor-
mous pivot front door and charming wraparound
front porch, make for a fresh yet enduring
aesthetic that chimes with contemporary tastes.
A continuation of the exterior motif, the
skylighted interior is radiant and showered in
sunlight, featuring an elegant yet understated
canvas of white walls, extravagant stone, warm
wood soffits, and golden hardwood floors inter-
spersed with the occasional spectacle, from the
dazzling waterfall chandelier over the central
modern staircase to a pure wall of glass that
disappears like a dream. Add to these modern
markers superb openness and flow.
"The home is incredibly spacious for the
South Bay, yet it feels remarkably liveable—
wonderful for entertaining while still feeling
intimate for family life," the owner says.
This is true the moment one steps inside the
double-height foyer where, hovering high over-
head like a lone cloud in a bright sky, a dramatic
drum-shaped pendant light floats in the frame
of a large window. When aglow at night, "It's
really beautiful," the owner notes. From here,
the ease and fluidity of entry level moves past
the splendid formal fireplaced living and dining
rooms, both of which open to the wraparound
porch, and continue toward the spaces at the
home's hospitable heart.
Of these, the virtuoso chef's kitchen, with
a picture-windowed dining area, is a first-class
