The estate at 814 Pacific Ave carries six bedrooms and seven baths across a reported 10,000 square feet on a parcel of more than half an acre.

The residence takes its cues from Nantucket architecture, with rough-hewn stone and reclaimed wood running through the interiors and ocean views opening from several points in the house. Roughly 30 rooms are arranged over the main house and a lower level that holds a wine cellar, a media and game room, a mudroom and further flexible rooms. A detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage has ocean views of its own and a two-car garage, and a subterranean retreat adds a second wine cellar, a gym, a library and a pool hall.
The grounds hold a full sport court, a pool and spa, a fire pit, two outdoor kitchens, pergolas and several outdoor entertaining areas, with garage parking for five cars. The Hill Section site sits moments from the beach and a short walk from downtown Manhattan Beach.

EBTA architects designed the St. Tropez-inspired house and PrideMark built it. A grand staircase rises from the entry foyer toward a circular formal dining room ringed with columns, a great room with a hand-carved limestone fireplace and a media room. The kitchen has an oversized island, a butler’s pantry, a six-burner Wolf range and a breakfast room facing the ocean, and stone imported from France and Italy, antique French pavers and French white oak floors run through the house.
