Limited public parking result in the surf and sand of this hidden gem being much more quiet and uncrowded than surrounding beaches.
Those who want to be just minutes from private flights out of Long Beach or the surrounding business hubs are drawn to this remarkable stretch of Orange County coastline.
This extraordinary statement home sits on a premier and oversized 40 foot wide, beachfront, corner lot (think unobstructed views vs looking into your neighbor’s window), making this one of the largest lots you can find on this stretch of beach.
Entering the residence you are immediately embraced by the large and open floor plan with black slate tile and featuring an enormous kitchen with bamboo flat paneled cabinets, black leathered granite countertops, a large island with a secondary sink, stainless steel professional Viking gas range with 8 burners, a griddle, wok system, double oven, custom range hood, pot filler, multiple dishwashers, a wine and sub-zero fridge,and a mosaic tile backsplash.
If you can take your eyes off the beach landscaping visible from everywhere on this level, you will notice a comfortable living area with a fireplace, a large sitting bar with two wine/beverage fridges, an ice maker, and dishwasher and sink, making this THE place to serve your guests beach cocktails!
Open the accordion doors to integrate the sounds of waves crashing and all the charming sights and ocean scents this exceptional stretch of heaven offers.
Outside on the sand, there is a large paver patio system making this a perfect space for relaxation or distinguished entertaining.
There is also a nicely appointed custom ½ bathroom and a door to the elevator for easy access to all levels.
The 2nd level has 3 generously sized bedrooms, one with a fireplace, all with captivating ocean views, including a primary-like bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a large glass enclosed walk-in shower with bright and whimsical mosaic tiles imported from Spain.
This level also offers a media area with AV connections (could also be an office or play area), a wet bar with a dishwasher and laundry hook-ups, and a nautical themed full hallway bathroom with a shower/tub and water fixtures from early 1900’s sunken ships.
The entire 3rd level is dedicated to the master suite, including a sitting area with a fireplace surrounded by stacked stone and a mantle, AV hook-ups, a wet bar with both a wine and beverage fridge, high end Miele microwave and coffee maker, and 2 large walk-in closets.
Here you can privately enjoy some of the most coveted, unobstructed and panoramic views of Catalina, Palos Verdes and coastal city lights.
The luxurious master bathroom offers dual sinks, an enormous jetted soaking tub with views of the Pacific Ocean and a glass-enclosed shower with multiple shower heads and steam capabilities, all making this a delightful retreat.
The new aluminum gated front courtyard generously offers room to park 3 or more cars or toys, plus 2 cars outside the gates (total of 5).
Situated close to the region’s iconic dining, culture, and beaches, these offerings rarely change hands, and with unobstructed beach access, unmatched panoramas of the Pacific, spectacular sunsets, and some of areas best kept secret beaches, you can enjoy the lifestyle of this idyllic seaside community.
