Description
High above the street in the iconic Hill Section of Manhattan Beach, this Southwest-facing corner estate feels like its own private resort—where ocean breezes drift in, sunlight pours through soaring ceilings, and every level delivers a new experience. In a city where space, privacy, and ocean vistas are hard to come by, the Hill Section is one of the few neighborhoods that offers all three—along with a short stroll to the beach, easy access to downtown, and walking distance to award-winning Robinson Elementary. Step inside on the main entry level and the drama begins: dual curved staircases, statement chandeliers, and fresh white oak floors that instantly lighten the mood. Five bedrooms (four ensuite) are thoughtfully positioned alongside a spacious family room and bonus flex space—ideal for homework marathons, movie nights, or a quiet work-from-home escape. Slide outside and you’re transported to a tropical oasis: pool, spa, swim-up bar, tiki hut with grass roof, outdoor fireplace, turf lawn, and bamboo-lined privacy that makes every day feel like a five-star getaway. Upstairs is where life unfolds in grand fashion. The living room opens to a balcony overlooking the lush backyard, while the gourmet kitchen—complete with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Dacor 6-burner range, double warming drawers, two Miele dishwashers, and an expansive granite island—anchors the home with effortless entertaining power. Double butler’s pantries and a built-in work area keep everything running smoothly. A warm library/study with fireplace invites slower moments, while the primary suite is a retreat unto itself: balcony access, dual-entry walk-in closet, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a spa-style shower designed to start and end your days right. Then there’s the level no one sees coming. Take the elevator down and you’ll find a moody, club-inspired escape reminiscent of the Foundation Room at House of Blues—ornate carved doors, ambient lighting, full bar, VIP lounge, theater room, and a vibe that says the night is just getting started. With over 9,000 square feet, six bedrooms, seven baths, multiple living areas, three-car garage, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this estate fully captures what makes the Hill Section so sought-after: room to spread out, privacy to unwind, and views that remind you why Manhattan Beach living is in a class of its own. It may feel like a faraway escape. Spoiler alert: it’s right here.
