The most unique and fabulous townhome in Manhattan Beach was reimagined in 2024, taken down to the studs, inside and out, with no expense spared. Designed by the late contemporary architect Pat Killen and now completely reborn, it delivers a sophisticated open floor plan and eye-popping, panoramic, unblockable ocean views from Catalina to Point Dume, with craftsmanship and systems you won't find in a home that hasn't been rebuilt from the bones out. The 2024 transformation touched everything: a Boffi kitchen with unrivaled lacquered cabinets, a stylish La Cornue range, and a glass-front fridge; a primary suite with backlit Chanel Onyx stone counters and dreamy sculptural lighting fixtures from renowned artisans. There is so much nuanced detail to appreciate here. I can't wait for you to experience the brass and lucite handrails, the custom antiqued mirror wall, lit built-in cabinets, and fluted limestone fireplace. Dark herringbone, hand-oiled white oak floors provide a dramatic footprint for this romantic space that celebrates the architecture, interior design, and view, blending all three seamlessly, as if in a dream. There are floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels on the ocean side, opening the entire corner into a giant indoor-outdoor room with wide-open privacy, plus a wind-protected rear patio with a bi-folding window/counter to the kitchen. Imagine long summer evenings on that patio, with views straight through the upper floor beyond. A secluded office and a moody powder room with gorgeous stone counters and crystal wall sconces complete the main living level. The accordion window opens the kitchen onto the bar of the BBQ deck, complete with a professional BBQ, sink, built-in seating, black Dekton counters, and stone floor, the whole deck covered by a metal pergola with shade slats. The primary suite includes a comfortable walkout deck and one of the most luxurious baths you've ever seen, with a brass shower enclosure and a completely custom layout in bespoke materials. The primary walk-in closet is designed like a high-end boutique, with enclosed cabinets, drawers, and storage built for precious clothing and accessories. All bedrooms are en suite. With easy beach access, a stunning beach shower, three-zone AC, integrated sound, security, climate control, automated window treatments, and three enclosed or covered parking spaces, this is perfection at the beach, rebuilt for the way you want to live today.
