If true luxury is the intersection of quality & design, then 1145 Pine Avenue may be its pinnacle. Artfully created in 2021 by award-winning Abramson Architects, this open-concept home’s sleek, European-flavored minimalism simultaneously impresses and embraces. This home’s unique situation opposite – and adjacent to – quiet commercial properties ensure maximum privacy, a treasured commodity in chaotic Los Angeles. And while the Postmodern exterior immediately impresses (especially its welcoming front patio with built-in seating and fire pit), it’s the soaring interior spaces that truly wow. Entering the home, you’re greeted by a spacious living room with recessed lighting above, imported Italian stone below, a suspended bio ethanol fireplace and French door access to the front patio. The spacious office boasts dramatic backlit shelving with an inlaid electric guitar, a true conversation starter. Nearby, the home’s finished garage with EV charger leads to a delightful bonus room that is perfect for an in-home gym or theatre. Moving towards the rear of the home, you’ll pass a bold showcase wall currently used as a library before reaching the open-concept great room. Here, a jaw-dropping island kitchen by Boffi includes Gaggenau appliances, custom cabinetry, breakfast bar seating, a hidden pantry and even handmade Italian tile covering the range hood. The attention to detail is astounding. The breezy, open dining room with Artemide chandelier is bursting with light thanks to full-height Fleetwood window wall doors, as is the adjacent family room with unique LED light fixture installation and indoor/outdoor fireplace. From here, the home’s beautifully landscaped rear yard with 1,600-plant vertical garden, LED-lit pool, hot tub and ample outdoor living/dining space comes into view. This area can also serve as an outdoor theatre since the South-facing wall makes a perfect screen for your projector. The second floor’s skylit landing leads to three bedrooms, including a stunning primary suite with in-bedroom 2-person tub, privacy-maintaining clerestory windows, relaxing balcony, custom walk-in closet and open bathroom with twin sinks, massive two-headed shower and cutting-edge Woodbridge heated bidet toilet.1145 Pine Avenue offers levels of privacy, elegance and futuristic luxury that’s simply unparalleled in Manhattan Beach. The opportunity to wake up every morning in a masterpiece like this won’t happen again, so make your move before it belongs to someone else.
