ON THE COVER New and Next On 9th: well-heeled glamour and outdoor living take center stage at this spacious Hill Section home presented by Nick Schneider & Lauren Forbes of Compass.

558 15th Street is located in the quiet enclave just north of Montana with supermarkets and specialty shops, a high-ranking public elementary school, coffee shops, cafes, and a farmer’s market nearby. Only slightly further afield would be movie theaters, some of the city’s best private schools, its famed stretch of beaches, its many hiking trails, and its best private clubs.

It was the mellow atmosphere of the Hill Section in Manhattan Beach that convinced a custom home developer Saeid Shokravi to go ahead with this voluminous new five-bedroom home and inspired its plantation-influenced modern look. The result is a residence ideally suited for life as it’s lived today, with sophistication and user-friendliness locked in neatly together.

Among this collection of exquisite real estate, it’s the homes tucked between San Vicente, the bucolic passageway to the rest of Los Angeles, and Montana Avenue, its bustling boulevard of exclusive boutiques, sumptuous restaurants, and well-stocked markets, that are most desirable.

With an abundance of natural light inside and a mature garden outside, the property 4021 Mandeville Canyon sits on a lot of over 30,000 square feet, immediately convinced the homeowner—an interior designer—to transform it into an indoor-outdoor sanctuary.

4347 Marina Drive, Santa Barbara situated on a 1-plus acre of land—atop the crest of a bluff, with unobstructed views of the Channel Islands—the gated, hacienda-style manse offers 14,000 square feet of living space on a single level designed by Wallace Neff.

Why long for escape in far-flung locations when there is a home offering the amenities of a fantasy vacation within immediate reach? A house that is both private and accessible, grand and intimate, near the beach but tucked into the woods, centrally located but also remote.

Found in the affluent gated community of Hidden Hills, 5545 Dixon Trail is a captivating residence ideal for entertaining with its refined style and luxe finishes yet offers a floor plan more than befitting a family lifestyle and grounds suited to the avid equestrian.

The slender rectangle that calls S. Venice Boulevard, Washington Boulevard, Ocean Avenue and South Strongs Avenue boundaries encompasses the historic Venice Beach canals.
