A Santa Barbara-inspired Home in Manhattan Beach and an Entertaining Enclave in Beverly Hillsbespoken for

This Santa Barbara-inspired home in Manhattan Beach’s Tree Section boasts all custom features imaginable, not to mention meticulous attention to detail, high-end finishes and the always coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

But its best attribute, according to listing agent Giovanni Altamura of Altamura Real Estate Group is… “the great room leading out to the private rear yard. The downstairs floor plan offers great volume to the room, bringing in plenty of natural light, and indoor-outdoor entertaining and dining.”

Built in 2006, the estate has been updated with reclaimed barn wood flooring, coffered and groin-vaulted ceilings, French terra-cotta tile, custom wrought iron, designer lighting and handmade reclaimed wood doors. The current owner also added audio-visual upgrades to make it a smart home.

Yet other highlights include a spacious master retreat with a fireplace, balcony, and spa-like bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub, plus a gourmet kitchen outfitted with an expansive center island, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a butler’s pantry with wet bar.
