18th Street

Built from the ground up, this Manhattan Beach home was designed for a family with three young girls and two active dogs, drawing inspiration from their upbringing in New York City and the Hamptons. A soft, neutral palette sets a calm foundation throughout, with white oak cabinetry and millwork layered alongside marble and other textural finishes to bring warmth and longevity to the interiors. Each level of the home was thoughtfully designed to support both gathering and retreat—from seamless indoor-outdoor living on the main level with a pool and outdoor fireplace, to a basement designed for movie nights and game days, and a dedicated kids’ wing on the bedroom level, complete with charming “hotel suite” lights outside each bedroom door.
