Description

This three-bedroom, four-bathroom, 4400 square-foot Marshall Lewis home boasts a perfect blend of Mid-century modern and contemporary architectural features, providing character and unique design touches throughout. Tall, vaulted ceilings lined with rich redwood paneling give off an iconic beachy vibe while the bright white walls, gray marble, and unique architectural features make the space feel clean and cool. There’s not a square inch of cookie cutter, from the ultra-private front facade to the visually interesting, layered backyard. Enjoy ocean views from large outdoor terraces and through large picture windows throughout the homes’ multiple levels. The entryway leads to a formal dining room and the heart of the home - the kitchen. Beyond, a small sitting room and banquette-style breakfast nook add charm and extra living space. Down a half-set of stairs, a massive family room awaits, featuring a sunken couch, fireplace, outdoor access, min wet bar, and two-story-high vaulted ceilings filled with natural light. The backyard is ready to entertain, with a small pool, ample patio space, 1400-bottle wine cellar, and an outdoor bathroom for convenience. Up the main stairway, a loft on the landing offers private space perfect for working from home or grabbing a quiet moment. Upstairs, the Primary Bedroom’s cathedral-like ceilings and clerestory windows bring a sense of grandeur and endless space. The additional sitting area with a marble fireplace and a large terrace makes this Owner’s Suite a truly sweet escape. The en suite bathroom is a circular oasis with a luxurious soaking tub, expansive shower, and semi-circular double vanity offering unrivaled countertop real estate. Ascend farther and find another bedroom that feels like the top of a treehouse, with a terrace, big picture windows, and an en suite bathroom. Located in the desirable Hill Section, this home is close to top-rated schools, the beach, and Downtown Manhattan Beach, offering a perfect blend of luxury and convenience.
