Description

Settled in the coveted Hill Section of Manhattan Beach, this extraordinary custom residence—designed by Pat Killen, widely regarded as a founding father of modernist architecture in the South Bay—offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, breathtaking ocean views, and effortless California coastal living. Southwest-facing panoramas stretch across the Pacific to Catalina Island, filling the home with natural light and a constant connection to the sea. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home honors its architectural heritage while embracing modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, skylights, and expansive windows illuminate the interiors, highlighting refinished original oak floors and Killen’s timeless design. Recent upgrades include new air conditioning and water heater, fresh interior paint, curated landscaping, new appliances, an EV charging station, and a fully integrated indoor-outdoor sound system. Spanning approximately 4,259 square feet on a 7,126-square-foot lot, the home offers generous yet comfortable living spaces. Three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths are complemented by a sun-filled office that can serve as a fourth bedroom. The living room with fireplace opens to a view deck, while a dining area off the kitchen, breakfast bar, and family room connecting to the backyard create an ideal indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with built-in office space, an en-suite bath with separate tub and shower, and an impressive dressing room with built-in storage and a large walk-in closet. A private deck overlooks the lush backyard, complete with a tranquil water feature and multiple seating areas. A rare highlight in the Hill Section, the oversized six-car garage offers exceptional flexibility for collectors, creatives, or additional storage. With direct access and extra space, it also presents potential for bedrooms, bathrooms, a media room, gym, or studio. Including driveway parking, the property offers space for up to nine vehicles—an uncommon amenity so close to the beach. Ideally located near downtown Manhattan Beach, the Greenbelt, award-winning schools, the Manhattan Beach Pier, The Strand, and the city’s renowned beaches, this architecturally significant residence offers timeless design, stunning views, and one of the South Bay’s most coveted coastal lifestyles.
