1001 1st St, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Property Description

The most impressive and high-quality Contemporary estate ever built in Manhattan Beach, featuring panoramic ocean views from every room. After a laborious multi-year build, this approximately 9,500 sq. ft. showstopper seamlessly fuses glass, cedar, and concrete into a triumphant architectural tour de force with a sense of permanence and grandeur. Integral to the structure and aesthetic of the home, the scalloped concrete walls seen on the exterior and interior walls resemble an undulating wave-like texture accomplished by custom milled formwork which complement the surrounding Pacific landscape. Custom cedar clads the remaining walls and ceilings, bringing warmth and visual impact throughout the sleek space. Double-height ceilings and oversized automated Otiima pocketing doors and windows create a sense of expansion within, as the home seamlessly unfolds into an extensive beautifully landscaped outdoor terrace and pool/spa perfect for California living. An additional shaded patio with fireplace is created by the deep cedar overhangs from the upper floor and the roof. Generously nestled on an extra-wide corner lot, the home is replete with 6 bedrooms plus an additional office/nursery, 9 bathrooms, home theater, game room, wine cellar, wet bar, and gym, with architecture by Laney LA. Additional amenities include 48 solar panels with Tesla Powerwalls, elevator, 14 zone A/C technology platform system, Control4 home automation, and 3-car garage with additional driveway parking. An exceptionally rare opportunity to own a meticulously crafted beach estate with soul and sophistication.
