There's no doubt that the kitchen and formal dining area are the centerpiece. It's often said, but this home really is an entertainer's delight with a gourmet cooks kitchen featuring an Iron Chef commercial grade stove, as used on the Food Network show, plus a 48" Subzero fridge,Wolf exhaust hood, food warmer, beverage fridge, wine fridge and more. Separating the kitchen and dining area is a 17 foot genuine quartz countertop island. At the rear of the main level is a family room with sliding glass doors opening to the back yard and a large adjacent covered patio with views looking back through the house and to the great sunsets to the west. On the upper level there are five bedrooms separated by an open library which provides an ideal space for kids to do homework or hang out while the family room downstairs can be used for TV time. From the library you get spectacular views of the sunset, ocean and the Palos Verdes hills, not to mention a lot of light and warmth during the winter. The library also provides separation between four bedrooms to the east of the house and the master ocean view bedroom facing west. The master bath is equipped with a sunken tub and river rock tiling. The sixth bedroom is found on the street level first floor and is completely secluded from the rest of the house, making it perfect for extended family, guest room, or a nanny. Adjacent to the en-suite bedroom is a large room that could be perfect for an additional family room, workout area, home office or any other use. The house faces West and South, flooding it with natural light throughout the day. And when it just gets to be too sunny, there are electronic blinds throughout the house that can be easily raised or lowered. When the sun goes down you are treated to the designer lighting, from chandeliers to multiple elegant pendant fixtures, Swarovski crystals and stainless steel all created by Lindsay Ho, co- owner of the home and the custom lighting company INLIGHT International. (The company also custom fabricated the staircase, various built-in cabinets and bamboo doors.) This property is truly one of a kind. Because of the lot size and zoning, it is highly unlikely that another home of this size could be built west of PCH in South Redondo Beach. And, due to the unique nature of the lot, being able to incorporate 3 levels would also be extremely difficult. The current owners designed this home for multi-generational living including small children, teens and grandparents and their lifestyles. The wide open flexible floor plan can accommodate many other uses. It is not surprising that with so many distinctive qualities, this Redondo Beach beauty has been a featured "Home of the Week" in the Los Angeles Times. While you can learn more and see more pictures and a 3D Virtual Tour at 628Elvira.com, the absolute best way to truly experience this unique listing is to see it in person. 628 Elvira Avenue | Redondo Beach | 6bd 7ba | Price Upon Request
