A Manhattan Beach home on the oceanfront stretch known as The Strand recently sold for $24.5 million.
Completed in 2000, this three-story, 5,329-square-foot corner-lot residence in a Mediterranean style has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. It features a single solid-wood staircase constructed off-site and then installed.
The July 15 deal set a new high-water mark in the South Bay community, surpassing the previous record held by a beachfront residence that fetched $21 million in 2017. According to the Real Deal, which first reported the sale, the seller, concealed by an LLC, is a Hong Kong-based real estate and finance executive, while the buyer is a retired attorney.
Ample natural light floods the home’s interior, thanks to abundant glass, including skylights in the primary suite’s walk-in closets. Glass walls frame views of the Manhattan Beach Pier, Palos Verdes Peninsula and Catalina Island beyond.
The house has an open floor plan with luxurious touches. A box-beamed ceiling mirrors the wood-inlaid tile floor of the kitchen, which boasts marbled surfaces, a large center island with a raised breakfast bar and a breakfast nook with a built-in corner bench.
Take the elevator or the staircase to the top-floor primary retreat with two bathrooms and walk-in closets. The bedroom opens onto an ocean-facing curved balcony, which sits atop a curved rooftop terrace off the main living areas below.
There’s also an ocean-facing patio at the ground level.
Other highlights include a 360-bottle wine cellar and parking for seven cars, with two in the driveway and five in the garage. It has a lift to two hermetically sealed vaults, which keep cars safe from the coastal elements.
Robb Stroyke and Bryn Stroyke of Stroyke Properties Group at Bayside Real Estate Partners were the listing agents. Ty Bergman of Equity Union represented the buyer.
