644 11th Street, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

This peaceful retreat unfolds to reveal a thoughtful balance between indoor and outdoor living with many unexpected features. Relaxed but refined, crisp but inviting, the casual elegance of this purposeful environment embraces an active beach life where sun, sand and memories are closely interwoven. On the open market for the first time in over 50 years, this home has been a place of celebration and joy for friends and family over the decades. Walking distance to town yet private and discreet, this is truly a one-of-a-kind property in the heart of the hill section. The seller engaged the renowned architecture studio, Laney LA, to design a truly unique masterpiece. Led by Anthony Laney, his studio is responsible for some of the most distinctive homes in Manhattan Beach. Their concept for 644 11th Street is no exception. The journey begins with a dramatic entry, & views across a reflecting pond towards the massive garden beyond. A sculptural stair and formal foyer anchor the interior space, while a poetic dining room floats as an island above the surface of the water. The ground level is defined by a truly unparalleled connection between the home and generous outdoor space. The living room and kitchen open to the western sky, while the eastern landscape provides the private green backdrop. A cozy family room and oversized breakfast nook add further definition to the primary space. A "dirty kitchen” provides additional cooking amenities, & an attached parking space gives priority to the daily driver. A 27’ pool and 9’ hot tub are supported by a luxurious outdoor kitchen and shower. An entire detached structure serves as a dedicated pool house for entertaining and also includes showcase parking garage. Upstairs, the project situates four bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. The primary bedroom is complete with a private deck, dedicated laundry, private coffee bar, impressive closet, and a primary bathroom flooded with natural light. The basement includes two additional bedrooms, a massive game room, a bar, and complete gym and wellness center. The exterior architecture embraces elements of tradition with a decidedly contemporary spirit. Individual pavilions are defined by subtle hip roofs, while soaring openings and thin cantilevers represent the innovation deployed throughout the home. The wood shingles and dry stacked stone provide the timeless aesthetic to compliment the soft interior and vibrant landscape.
