Nowhere is the view more promi-
nent than on the rooftop deck, where an
exuberant panorama from Catalina Island
to Malibu is a feature of both the glass-
wrapped Crow's Nest bar—a hidden idyll
that seems to float among the clouds,
weightless and free—and the rooftop itself,
which presents as sublimely marooned
from the world, with a hot tub for watching
the sun fade over the golden horizon. From
here, Starr says, "You can take it all in."
Privacy has special provenance on
the ground level, where, just steps down
from the luminous, light-filled foyer, the
bulk of the home's bedroom suites (three
with beautifully finished en-suite baths)
include the serene primary suite. With a
modern fireplace and the quiet drama of
a frameless corner window that seizes on
sublime natural light from two angles and
landscape views, this sumptuous retreat
exudes respite and repose. Following suit,
the primary bath has the spoils of a spa,
including a refined vanity with dual sinks,
a contemporary soaking tub and a knockout
dual-head shower swathed in lustrous stone.
A customized walk-in closet with ample
storage, meanwhile, is the finishing touch.
Also downstairs, the open-layout recre-
ation room (or second family room) enjoys
an alfresco connection to the low-mainte-
nance backyard. Landscaped for privacy
with a meticulous patio and tidy faux turf,
this indoor/outdoor refuge is perfect for
playtime, a peaceful moment, or dining en
plein air. "It really is a wonderful space,"
Carpenter says, noting its child-friendly flat
surface as a benefit. While more modestly
sized, "It's big enough for kids to roam and
play," she adds.
From this home's Manhattan Beach-adja-
cent location, to its all-encompassing views,
to its intentional design that responds to its
extraordinary setting, 724 24th Place has it
all, including smart home features, a whole-
house sound system by Sonos, an exterior
and interior lighting system, solar energy
production, and a Tesla power wall and EV
charger, plus central AC, allocated space for
a future elevator, a laundry room and a garage
with lots of storage. "Few homes are as
thoughtfully designed, this is a masterpiece
that checks all the boxes," says Carpenter.
