A stunning property in Hermosa Hills, this 5-bedroom home was recently remodeled with a timeless aesthetic. Open living space on the main level is private and warm, but at the same time capitalizes on dramatic high ceilings and abundant light. Rich details such as white oak wood floors, new Milgard windows, furniture-quality custom cabinetry, iron railings and quietly graceful details make this a remarkable home in every way. The kitchen is anchored by a custom island that can comfortably seat 6. The island is topped in quartzite and situated under striking designer pendants. Glass front cabinets, walk-in pantry, Wolf 6-burner stove, satin brass fixtures, Rejuvenation hardware, Thermador appliances and Calacatta porcelain countertops seamlessly work together to create a remarkable space for the center of activity. A pass-through window to the backyard opens to a dining bar, perfect for a casual meal, while the formal dining room offers an elegant option to comfortably seat 8 people. Just beyond the kitchen area is the breezy family room featuring a custom fireplace clad in cement tile. A telescoping door spans the full length of the room to really capture the indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Once outside, the private yard with newer artificial turf has a dining area with built-in BBQ /cooking area for easy entertaining. The living room has a herringbone zellige tile fireplace, built-in shelving, two-story ceilings and multiple windows allowing for plenty of light. On the upper level the primary suite has a balcony to take in sunset views, a spa-like bath and generous walk-in in closet. The private bathroom has stone throughout, dual sinks, make-up vanity and a separate soaking tub. Three additional oversized bedrooms feature high ceilings, roomy closets and private access to bathrooms. On the uppermost level is a rooftop deck with lovely unobstructed views of the ocean, swaying palm trees and Malibu in the distance. With room for an outdoor sectional and free-standing fire pit, it’s a great way to wind up the day. Other features of this special home are direct-access garage with epoxy floors, separate laundry room, air conditioning, new windows, new fencing, and nest thermostat. Half a mile to upper Pier Ave. and a one mile walk to the ocean, the home’s location in this iconic beach town will keep you close to some of the best stretches of sand while nestled away from the crowds.
