LOCALLA

One of Southern California's most desirable addresses, this Cape Cod contemporary comprises a main residence and two guest houses with spectacular views and abundant space for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Set behind gates, the oceanfront compound has tall, wood plank ceilings, extra large windows, and wide doorways opening to tranquil patios, lawns, and beachfront decks on two levels. In the main house, a light-filled great room with wood floors includes a spacious living area with a fireplace, a bar area, and a top-of-the-line island kitchen that will serve as the hub of any gathering. Extending from one side of the living room, the dining room has glass doors on two sides, one opening to a grand dining pavilion and the other to a private lawn and garden, also accessible from the living room. From this lawn, steps lead up to a wide beachfront deck furnished for relaxing and stargazing, with a hot tub, comfortable couches, a fire pit, a day bed, and steps to the sand. The views are sensational, from Point Dume to Palos Verdes, with island and ocean and gorgeous sunsets. The home has three bedrooms on the main floor, one, en-suite, currently used as a gym. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private getaway, with vaulted, beamed ceilings, a huge sitting area, a spa-style bath, and a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass that overlooks the lower deck and opens onto an upper-level oceanfront deck with majestic views. Separated from the main residence by a large lawn, the two guest houses are toward the front of the property. One has a living room, full kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms, plus a patio area with a sauna and firepit. Nearby is an additional structure that could be used as a yoga room, art studio, gym, or storage area. The second guest house is a large studio suite with vaulted ceilings, huge windows, ocean views, skylight, kitchenette, living and dining area, and a wraparound architectural sunroom. The home has covered parking for two cars, complete with a 220v plug, plus guest parking for five additional vehicles, as well as room for surfboards and other beach equipment. This is a wonderful, welcoming oceanfront home with vacation style and year-round comfort.
