This ultra-custom California Coastal home is situated on an over-sized corner lot in the American Martyrs area of Manhattan Beach’s Tree Section within an easy walk or bike ride to the beach and Downtown. The design was tailored by the original owners to create a functional family home that also presents as a timeless architectural showpiece reflective of refined, yet casual beach living. A traditional brick walkway leads from the quintessential white picket fence to the covered porch with it’s darling dutch door entry that welcomes the ocean breezes. Outdoor space close to the beach is a coveted commodity in Manhattan Beach. Folding panoramic doors open the back wall of the family room to extend the living area to the covered back patio which is beautifully finished down to the outdoor living area ceiling. Complete with patio heater, outdoor TV, fireplace and outdoor kitchen, this is a natural extension of the casual living areas of the home. Because this home was built for the original owner and not as a builder spec, thoughtfully placed amenities and features are what distinguish 1728 Laurel Avenue as truly unique. Extra touches of finish work, such as interior shiplap siding and seagrass wall coverings, coffered ceilings, built-in bench seating and storage solutions, glass subway tiles, herringbone pattern flooring, and subtle feminine touches of crystal and glass that balance the bold, rich lines of this classic coastal home are what set this home apart from the rest.
