Overview

This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity! Nestled in the coveted Mira Costa neighborhood of East Manhattan Beach, one of the most desirable communities worldwide, this stunning Modern Farmhouse is the total package. Fantastic curb appeal draws you in, and the thoughtful design and impeccable finishes will have you wanting to make this your forever home. This masterpiece has even been featured in a music video and named a finalist for the prestigious Holiday Homes Tour presented by the Sandpipers philanthropic organization. From the moment you step past the charming front sitting area perfect for morning coffee or an evening with neighbors, the light-filled, open-concept interiors and exceptional quality of construction set the tone. The showstopping chef's kitchen anchors the main living space, featuring a dramatic oversized island and breakfast bar with custom stone slabs, a stunning marble backsplash, a large walk-in pantry, Thermador appliances throughout, dual refrigerators, dual freezers, and a built-in Miele espresso machine, because mornings here deserve to be savored. The living room flows seamlessly to the outdoors through beautiful cantina doors, opening to an incredible covered patio complete with a fireplace, mounted TV, and built-in speakers, perfect for year-round entertaining. The large approximately 7,500 square foot lot boasts a custom heated saltwater pool that dazzles with a water feature and jacuzzi, while a separate low-maintenance turf area provides room to relax or play with the dog. Mature lemon and orange trees complete this private backyard retreat. Back inside, the floor-to-ceiling onyx slab fireplace in the living room is nothing short of a work of art. The main level also offers a dedicated a guest bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom, plus a stylish powder room for visitors, a separate office/additional guest bedroom and a sophisticated dry bar with built-in wine fridge that makes entertaining effortless. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms each feature their own ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, including one with a lovely front-facing balcony. A generous loft-style den with a well-appointed built-in desk serves as the perfect second workspace or study station. The primary suite is a true sanctuary: serene and complete with dual closets, an inviting balcony overlooking the backyard, built-in speakers, and a spa-inspired bathroom with stunning tile work, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a generously sized separate shower. Additional highlights include a tankless water heater, two sets of full-size washers and dryers, a fully integrated Smart Home system with built-in speakers throughout, a 4-car garage with EV charging station, and two additional driveway parking spaces. All of this on a quiet and private street, walkable to Pennekamp Elementary, Manhattan Beach Middle School, and Mira Costa High School, with wonderful shops and restaurants just minutes away, and less than 1.5 miles to the beach. This is Manhattan Beach living at its finest!
