About This Home
As of August 2025Architectural masterpiece with resort-style elegance on a serene tree-lined street in East Manhattan Beach. This stunning 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home was meticulously designed by renowned architect Doug Leach, showcasing extraordinary attention to detail throughout.
Soaring ceilings, a dramatic winding staircase, and strategically placed skylights create an atmosphere of casual elegance and light. Your gourmet kitchen becomes the heart of your home—where premium appliances including a SubZero refrigerator/freezer, Viking Range, new wall oven/warming drawer/built-in microwave (2022), and dual Bosch dishwashers work alongside a butler's pantry to make cooking feel effortless, whether you're preparing a quiet breakfast or hosting dinner parties.
French doors from the living room reveal a spectacular backyard oasis featuring an expansive patio and built-in Viking BBQ—perfect for California indoor-outdoor living. The versatile first-floor bedroom offers a private side entrance, functioning beautifully as either guest quarters or a home office. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms, while the luxurious primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and opens to a private balcony overlooking lush backyard greenery. The spacious upper landing serves as an ideal den or office, complete with French doors opening to a peaceful balcony with treetop views.
Distinctive features include a charming front patio with wood-burning fireplace, convenient upstairs coffee bar, rich hardwood floors, abundant storage, and an oversized 3-car garage with additional street parking. Located minutes from top-rated schools and everything the South Bay offers, this one-of-a-kind home delivers the perfect blend of architectural distinction and family functionality.
