This stunning turnkey custom-built 5-bedroom, 7-bath Cape Cod was designed by noted architect Doug Leach for an over-sized 5602 sqft lot in the coveted Manhattan Beach Tree section. This exquisite property is conveniently close to shopping, blue ribbon schools, pristine beaches and downtown Manhattan Beach and is just steps from the Greenbelt walking path. The home's exterior and the surrounding hardscape feature extensive use of Lompoc limestone, including the front walkway and the front entry portico as well as a unique driveway medallion comprised of limestone pavers. Upon entering the home through the 36" Dutch door, one is greeted by a two-story foyer and a meticulously-crafted interior that boasts attractive wainscoting and solid wide-plank hickory pecan hardwood floors throughout. The open floorplan is enhanced by a paneled coved ceiling detail in the family room and kitchen and a coved ceiling with recessed lighting in the spacious dining room with matching built-in display cabinets.The home is filled with natural light from numerous Cape Cod-style Marvin windows and doors as well as abundant skylights. The chef's kitchen is luxuriously appointed with an oversized quartz-topped center island, wine cabinet, large walk-in pantry, breakfast nook, dual dishwashers, separate 30" designer column refrigerator and freezer by Subzero and a Viking range with a custom hood. Bifold doors connect the kitchen with an outdoor living room that includes a fireplace, outdoor tv, flush-mounted ceiling heater and Lynx BBQ island and faces a custom water wall, also constructed with Lompoc limestone. The highlight of this property may very well be the basement which features a bar constructed of recycled materials (note the unique recycled glass backsplash), a gym and a custom-designed theater with seating for eight. This is a 'smart' home that utilizes Lutron lighting and recessed automated shades and a Savant whole home automation system that allows one to operate the lights and shades, the home security system with 4 cameras, televisions, music (via flush-mounted ceiling speakers), home theater, climate control and even the family room fireplace remotely, either through conveniently-located ipads on each floor or from your own iphone app. The spacious primary suite has a fireplace, a private balcony overlooking the lushly-landscaped backyard, and a bath with fixtures by Hansgrohe and Rohl, an MTI spa tub and heated floor and towel rack. Truly a very special home.
