Description

Welcome to “The Koa Lanai House,” a custom-designed architectural masterpiece by the late Patrick Killen, AIA—founder of Studio 9one2 and a pioneer of modernist beach design in Los Angeles. Set on a rare 3,524 sq ft corner lot just moments from the sand, this striking residence offers panoramic views from Malibu to Palos Verdes, including both Manhattan and Hermosa Beach piers—alongside exceptional indoor-outdoor living rarely found this close to the beach. Inside, the open-concept living space features approx 14-ft soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and newly refinished Brazilian cherry wood floors—each plank a unique work of art. A large terrace expands the living space, while the chef’s kitchen centers around a 9.5-ft custom Acacia Koa wood island with built-in pop-up TV, Sub-Zero fridge, Viking 6-burner range, wine fridge, walk-in pantry, and breakfast bar seating for six. A second terrace off the dining area offers views of Catalina and Palos Verdes. The main level also includes a powder room, recessed lighting, and integrated in-ceiling speakers. Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature ensuite baths, ocean views, and smart audio integration. The primary suite includes a custom-built-in platform bed, daybed nook, private ocean-view terrace, dual vanity bath with rainfall shower, ceiling-fill Acacia Koa soaking tub, and walk-in closet. The lower level houses an expansive flex space currently configured as a combined screening room and fitness area, with polished concrete floors, a 135" projection screen, wet bar, and decorative fireplace—plus a guest suite with full bath access and sliding doors to the patio. Additional highlights include a wine cellar, laundry room, and a rare Sand Section yard with wraparound seating, grass lawn, water feature, and sunset-view pebble patio. The home includes a recently replaced roof, A/C, dual tankless water heaters, Nuvo filtration system, Tesla charger, and a 3-car garage with deep-bay storage and built-in shelving. Tech upgrades include Savant smart controls and rooftop deck potential (buyer to verify feasibility). Ideally located near both piers, the Strand, top-rated Mira Costa High, and local favorites like Martha’s and The Bottle Inn—2114 Manhattan Avenue “The Koa Lanai House" is a modern coastal sanctuary with iconic views and timeless appeal.
