Welcome to 1833 8th Street, a custom Contemporary Craftsman that strays from the norm of Manhattan Beach homes in the best possible way. The crafted wood and natural stone both inside and out, are the features of the traditional Craftsman that we have known and loved for over 100 years. Completed in 2017, this stunner encompasses the best parts of traditional, but also includes modern amenities that make it anything but traditional. The blend of rich mahogany hand hewn wood flooring, crisp light walls, clean lines and wide open sightlines throughout are truly a perfect marriage. There are many jaw dropping features in this home, but the hero is the living space. It’s summertime ALL YEAR when you open up the corner situated disappearing doors, merging your indoor living space and kitchen with your outdoor dining room. The expansive covered outdoor patio with gas burning fireplace is truly perfect for every meal al fresco any time of the year. This backyard oasis is abundant with character including a private pool with tranquil waterfalls (and a shark, no, not a real one), spa, space for a cabana and several chaise lounge chairs, not to mention the lush landscaping including a strawberry tree, lemon tree and greenery surrounding the pool. The possibilities are endless out here - fire up the BBQ, turn on the big game on the TV, jam to your favorite playlist with the built-in speakers and enjoy the Southern California sun. Prepare a feast in this chef’s kitchen with a massive kitchen island topped with caesarstone counters, double oven, 6 burner gas range and cabinet space galore. Our favorite part is the butler’s pantry and full size wine fridge, right around the corner (very convenient). Upstairs you’ll find a generous primary suite with a covered patio overlooking your backyard, and two additional bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms. Plus, a laundry room that dreams are made of. But let’s be clear, working from home does not mean working from your bedroom, there’s an office downstairs for that…with built-ins for all of your office treasures. It’s honestly too good to write down in a simple summary, you’ll have to see it for yourself - this home is really something special, we know you’ll agree.
