Modern sensibility, soulful interiors and state-of-the-art innovation come together in this soaring seaside home artfully reimagined in a unique collaboration with the owner, May Sung of SUBU Design Architecture and Suzanne Ascher of Waterleaf Interiors. Offering three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths in 2251 square feet and perfectly positioned on a walkstreet corner across from the Strand, this special home boasts an abundance of natural light and a juxtaposition of contemporary architectural elements with interiors rooted in classic design. From the ground floor, where indoor/outdoor living is seamless and inviting, to the classic shapes and materials utilized throughout, this residence makes use of every inch of space, including thoughtful details and amenities that make for relaxed seaside living. The office/guest room opens onto a tiled barbecue patio- an ideal spot for hosting friends and family among refreshing ocean breezes. Inside, a hidden beverage fridge, built-in entryway mud room (with docking stations) are convenient to the ground floor. The showstopping floating oak staircase with steel stringers and glass railings is the central focal point and creates an ideal sightline from the bottom floor to the top, bathed in natural light. The primary suite offers a restful haven and includes a floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelf and a gorgeous, spa-like bath with ocean views, glass shower and soaking tub. Additional built-ins and ingenious storage solutions are integrated in the additional two bedrooms and throughout the home for maximum ease of living. The open-plan top floor is surrounded by windows and capped with a shiplap vaulted ceiling, an inimitable feature that draws the eye up, while frameless corner windows offer unobstructed sand and water views. The kitchen is home to everything from a hidden coffee station and pantry to automated windows opening onto bar seating on the deck, allowing for harmonious indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining. In the living room, a concealed theatre-style projection screen drops down for cozy movie nights, and the dining area opens on to an outer deck, where glass panels and a built-in bench are warm and inviting. Enjoy incredible views of the Pacific from all levels. Featured in South Bay magazine and within walking distance to the Strand, Grandview Elementary, and downtown Manhattan Beach, this home was meticulously crafted to offer every convenience while optimizing space for idyllic coastal living.
