About this home
A singular expression of modern architecture, this one-of-a-kind residence transcends the traditional notion of a home and emerges as a true architectural masterpiece. Designed by architect Kami Rezai, recipient of a Houzz Award, the residence is an extraordinary study in proportion, light, material, and space—where sophisticated design and uncompromising craftsmanship meet with the sensibility of a work of art. Encompassing more than 5,000 square feet, the home reveals itself like a fine modern painting, with every plane, volume, and material thoughtfully composed. From the moment of entry, striking architectural details create a dramatic sense of arrival, including a statement fireplace, floating staircase, hotel-inspired wine cellar, and elegant walk-up bar. The expansive chef’s kitchen is impeccably appointed with a premium Dacor appliance package, waterfall-edge countertops, custom cabinetry, integrated lighting, and a thoughtfully designed butler’s pantry. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between architecture and landscape, opening to a private backyard oasis conceived for grand entertaining and quiet retreat. At its center, a shimmering pool and spa create a resort-like atmosphere, surrounded by built-in seating, a sculptural firepit, and fully equipped barbecue. Together, they create an extraordinary outdoor setting that feels intimate, sophisticated, and connected to the interior. Five generously proportioned bedrooms each offer a private en-suite bath and walk-in closet. A versatile main-level bedroom provides a sophisticated setting for a home office, fitness studio, or guest suite. The extraordinary primary retreat is a sanctuary unto itself. Boutique-style his-and-hers walk-in closets frame an intimate haven, while a dramatic fireplace and disappearing glass walls create a seamless connection to a serene private balcony. The spa-inspired primary bath features a luxurious soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, custom cabinetry, and premium fixtures. Throughout the residence, natural light becomes part of the architecture, illuminating carefully considered materials and contemporary forms while creating an ever-changing composition. The result is a home that feels less designed than composed—a rare convergence of architecture, art, craftsmanship, and contemporary living.
Eastside Manhattan Beach, located between Sepulveda Boulevard and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, is a residential and coastal-adjacent Manhattan Beach neighborhood with a grid of tree-lined streets and a low-slung, beach-town feel. The scene concentrates around the Sepulveda Boulevard and Manhattan Beach Boulevard crossroads, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and small studios keep sidewalks active. Housing reads as classic postwar bungalows alongside crisp contemporary rebuilds, often set behind tidy hedges and wide driveways. Polliwog Park adds lawns, a pond, and community programming that shapes daily routines. Manhattan Beach Art Center and the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market bring a cultural and local-food cadence. The Strand and the Manhattan Beach Pier sit a short ride west, tying the Eastside to the ocean’s rhythm.
