EXTRAORDINARY MODERN WALKSTREET ESTATE HOME 201 18TH STREET, MANHATTAN BEACH, CA •

Custom built in 2007, this stunning KAA designed 7,900 s.f. 5 bedroom / 7.5 bath home resets the bar for exceptional design with an uncompromising commitment to the highest quality finishes and workmanship… it simply does not get any better than this.

•

Situated on a rare lot and a half (4,050 s.f.), on the north side of arguably the very best walkstreet in town, this property straddles the border of the 100 and 200 block and features short walks to the beach and town.

•

A spectacular blend of stone and wood, mountains and beach, ocean and sky, this extraordinary home features towering walls of tumbled Chief Cliff Ledge stone from Montana Rockworks, rich Spanish Cedar exterior and interior structural finish and trim (including all wood siding, and beamed ceilings), with a combination of tempered steel and Honduran Mahogany wood windows and wide plank hand distressed walnut floors.

•

The top floor features an exceptional wide open floor plan including two large decks/ outdoor rooms that merge into one extraordinary space when the many sliders are open and blur the distinction between the interior and exterior space. The physical dimensions of the top floor are reminiscent of a larger Hill section view property and unlike anything in the Sand Section.

•

Home features full basement with world class 5000 bottle wine cellar, a spectacular Chief Cliff Ledge Stone encased wine dining room, a full butler’s pantry and a bonus room gym/ home theater room.

•

Home has too many features to list but includes world class office with a view, kids study, 4- stop elevator, craft room, huge beach room with walnut bar, beach bath with separate entrance and laundry, Sun Valley Bronze fixtures, bronze exterior rails, low voltage Lutron lighting system designed by KGM Architectural Lighting, 3-car garage, laundry room with walk in cleaning closet, Russound Apple driven sound system, B-Radiant heating, indoor and outdoor wood burning fireplaces, and much, much more.

•

DIGITAL MEDIA SPECIALIST Kieron McKay

The Vincent Thomas Bridge is a 1,500-foot long suspension bridge crossing the Los Angeles Harbor linking San Pedro, California with Terminal Island. Prior to the bridge’s construction in 1963, the Terminal Island Ferry transported people and cars to Terminal Island. The Ferry building was a working ferry terminal from 1941 to 1963 and currently houses the Los Angeles Maritime Museum.

The bridge is named after California Assemblyman Vincent Thomas of San Pedro.

FT. MacARTHUR In 1888, the War Department took control of a tract of land next to the San Pedro bay,

SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Paul Jonason

and added to it in 1897 and 1910. This became Fort MacArthur in 1914, and was a coastal defense site for many years, which also included a Nike missile site in the White Point area.

In 1978, the Secretary of the Interior transferred ownership of the White Point U.S. naval reservation to the City of Los Angeles to be used for recreational purposes.

KOREAN BELL The Korean Bell of Friendship is a massive bronze bell housed in a stone pavilion in Angel’s Gate Park, in the San Pedro district of Los Angeles, California. It is located at the corner of Gaffey and 37th Streets. The bell was donated by the Republic of Korea to the people of Los

Angeles, California to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States, to honor American veterans of the Korean War, and to symbolize friendship between the two nations. It was dedicated on October 3, 1976.

POINT FERMIN LIGHTHOUSE Built in 1874 in the Stick Style Victorian style, the Point Fermin Lighthouse was the first navigational light into the San Pedro Bay. Phineas Banning, proposed construction of the lighthouse in 1854 however land disputes delayed its construction until 1874. On December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed and the coast was blacked out for fear of being a beacon to enemy ships and planes, that included turning off the lighthouse beacon. Sadly, the light was never to be lit again.

THE MULLER HOUSE Steeped in history the Muller House was originally located at 129 Front Street in the Nob Hill neighborhood of San Pedro California and moved when Front Street was widened. The colonial Revival style house was built for the parents of Edward “Big Ed” James Mahar, Mayor

of San Pedro. In 1901 shipbuilder William Muller bought the home for his family. The house was owned by the Mullers from 1906 to 1963, when they donated it to the San Pedro Bay Historical Society, who restored it and now operates it

“I highly refer

Maureen Megowan”

I never understood how complex the job of being a realtor could be until I worked with Maureen Megowan. She worked tirelessly to assist me before, during and after the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. It took a month to prepare my home to be put on the market. She orchestrated the remodeling and staging of my home so that it showed like a jewel. Closing the sale required a delicate dance. She was the force which made it all happen.

The purchase of my new home required creative financing. She helped to guide me along that path. I cannot thank Maureen enough for the endless hours she spent helping me and my family. I highly refer Maureen Megowan and would absolutely use her again.

“Well, real estate is always good, as far as I’m concerned.”

Since we tend to always focus on what the local real estate numbers are telling us about local market conditions, I thought I would share some “big picture” economic numbers that you may find interesting.

Housing contributes to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in two ways: private residential investment and consumption spending on housing services. Historically, residential investment has averaged roughly 5% of GDP while housing services have averaged between 12%-13%, for a combined 17%-18% of GDP!

MARKET R E A L E S TAT E I N S I D E R

THE CHANGING MARKET Not only did inventories rise in April 2013, but home prices surged! Home values are on the rise throughout the nation; listing prices rose 2.6% last month and were 3% higher than in April 2012.

Locally, our Southern California neighborhood markets reflect these trends. In Los Angeles, home values were up 34% from one year ago in April 2012. It’s what we expected to see, since for 13 consecutive months the median home value in Southern California has increased. Southern California homes also spend less time on the market than they did a year ago: about 11% less time, according to Realtor.com.

DO YOU LIVE IN A COMPETITIVE HOUSING MARKET?

Higher-end and luxury homes sell faster than mid-priced homes; the sales of properties priced above $800,000 increased by 50% from April 2012 to April 2013. The strong demands for beachfront luxury homes, homes in good school districts, and homes that reflect lifestyle upgrades are greater than the number of available homes in the South Bay, which means that our local property values are escalating and rapidly recovering.

Numbers can be misleading, however; while it looks like sales are down, overall, there is simply a nationwide supply shortage, despite the number of homes for sale in the US increasing by 4% in April 2013 alone. As long as there are more buyers than there are available houses, we can expect to see rapid property value growth like we have from April 2012 to April 2013.

MARKET SNAPSHOT | BEACH CITIES

According to Redfin, if you live in Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, or Los Angeles Counties, you live in one of the four most competitive housing markets in the entire country. 85% of all offers placed on properties faced competition in April 2013, and almost 35% of all offers accepted were over the listing price, while almost 10% of all accepted offers were all cash.

ed kaminsky WRIT TEN BY HEI DI WALTER “Everyone is asking where the inventory is. We are still looking,” jokes Ed Kaminsky of Shorewood Realtors, one of the top real estate agents in the South Bay. Kaminsky says that increased demand creates instant appreciation in the beach cities at the fastest pace he’s seen in the entire 25 years he’s been an agent. He has other observations, as well.

“One thing you will notice is the increase of new development projects around town,” he says. “Manhattan Beach is starting to become a second home market.

Hill Section or Tree Section but they want a home on The Strand. Other buyers are permanent residents in Los Angeles or places like Scottsdale and The Silicon Valley… with the best climate in the world, the greatest beaches, the best school systems and plenty of business opportunities, the South Bay continues to be a major draw.”

L U X U RY H OT E L

After transitioning into real estate from a job selling jewelry, Kaminsky found success within his first year. “It took me six months to earn my first client,” he says, “but after that I went on a roll and sold 17 houses my first year in the business.”

The market has changed considerably since the late 1980s. “Today’s pace is lightning-fast and clients demand instant answers, 24/7 access, and they are armed with more information than ever so you have to stay ahead of the curve to provide

valuable insight and skills in today’s real estate market.”

$795,000

Kaminsky eventually launched SportStar Relocation, a company that is dedicated to the relocation needs of athletes and anything related to their real estate moves.

Additionally, in the early 2000s, he launched the Premiere Estates Auction Company to market luxury properties across the USA. He calls those marketing campaigns “extremely aggressive and exciting.”

You can find Kaminsky at the new Shorewood Realtors office in downtown Manhattan Beach. “We still maintain the Kaminsky Real Estate Group’s main office at our Rosecrans location,” he explains, “but love to be able to pop into our office in the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach. It feels like you’re on vacation when you’re down there. We also have had a very successful re-launch of Itznew Development in partnership with Todd Wohl from Zaco Development, a company designed to renovate the older homes in the South Bay and bring them up to today’s standards.

Many buyers love the character of the older homes but want modern amenities. We have been able to do that while maintaining the original architecture and landscape of the South Bay as opposed to tearing down and rebuilding these beautiful homes.”

Kaminsky’s take on the South Bay is that it has a small-town feel that he loves.

“There is a sense of community that is hard to find in other areas,” he says. “I did transplant here from Cleveland, Ohio and certainly am glad I was able to raise my two

IN THE KITCHEN WITH...

B RO O K E W I L L I A M S O N of Hudson House in Redondo Beach

As a Top Chef runner-up, mom to a young son, and co-owner of two restaurants with her husband, chef Nick Roberts, it’s a miracle Hudson House’s Brooke Williamson ever gets to eat at a restaurant where someone else is in charge. But the self-taught chef—who happens to be the youngest female chef to have cooked at the prestigious James Beard House in New York—not only finds time to dine out, she relishes the experience. South Bay Digs sat down with Williamson and learned a thing or two about entertaining, food prep and the value of television cooking shows.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KAMINSKY REAL ESTATE GROUP

Ed Kaminsky

Tina Kaminsky

Becky Davidson

STACI BROOKS

I knew Ed was one of the most active agents in the area, so when we started working with him I thought he might be too busy for us. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was there for us morning, noon and night, every step of the way. I don’t think he sleeps. He is organized, a great negotiator and his team was spectacular.

- Paul K., Manhattan Beach

My wife and I had already spent three or four months monitoring the online listing sites and visiting open houses on our own before we decided to enlist the services of a buyer’s agent. We felt confident that Tina and Ed understood what we were looking for and over the next few months they worked with us, developing our understanding of the local market and helping us hone our own priorities as we visited listing after listing.

They brought us an opportunity that checked off several of our must-haves, but was located in a section of Manhattan Beach that we had not seriously considered.

After spending a few hours in the neighborhood, we knew – it was perfect. We put together an offer over the weekend and although we found ourselves in a multiple bid situation, by Thursday we were in escrow.

- M. Fransciso, Manhattan Beach

If you’re looking for an amazing Realtor, Becky Davidson is it! My husband and I just bought our first home and couldn’t be more thrilled. Becky’s professionalism, knowledge of the market and enthusiasm made the process go very smoothly. Right from our first meeting, I knew she understood our needs and was totally committed to helping us find our perfect new home. Becky always made herself available to us by email, phone or text. We never had to wait long to get an answer to our questions or a follow up on an issue.

Another quality that makes her a stand out agent is that she never pressured us into the wrong home. Who needs the added stress of second guessing such an important decision? If we are ever in the market again, we will definitely be calling Becky.

- Ivonne and Sal Huertas, Redondo Beach

“When we decided it was time to buy our first home to support our growing family, we really didn’t know where to begin. We couldn’t have been more fortunate to connect with Staci, who not only found us the perfect house but also helped us through every step of the process.

We had many specific needs, including space for a home office, a quiet street, a house that required very little maintenance (we aren’t very handy!) and she found us the needle-in-ahaystack that fulfilled them all. She both brought us to a fantastic house and helped us get a great price as well. We love it and will absolutely be recommending her to our friends in the South Bay who are buying a home.”

MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING Tucked behind a solid wood gate and two towering Canary palm trees is a private courtyard and fountain that leads to a 7,028 sq. ft. estate with 100 ft. of ocean-frontage. The 22 ft. high entry foyer reminisces California’s rich cultural heritage with its tiled grand staircase, iron banister and wood beamed truss ceiling. Cool ocean breezes flow throughout this Mediterranean style home. The panoramic Pacific Ocean views are IMAX-like from each of the four bedroom suites. The infinity pool and spa seem to flow into the sea. With Crestron and Lutron “smart-house” touch-pads throughout, each room enjoys its own lighting, temperature, sound and visual ambiance, programmable for day to ebb into evening. From the genuine-period tile patterns to the decorative wood ceilings, from the authentic light sconces to the antique hardware, and whether wood, marble or travertine floors, everything throughout this home was designed in elegant detail. Each of the four bedroom suites is unique, with custom designed cabinetry, stone, tile and lighting elements. The master suite custom cherry-wood, walk-in closets mirror the level of finish in every room. Each floor has its own laundry. Five fireplaces provide warmth and charm. The office conjures feelings of command central for just about any

The library has exquisite built-in bookcases to display an avid reader’s personal collection. The patio/pool and loggia paver floors and the large al fresco dining deck are radiant heated. Private secure access from the terrace to the beach paths invites those within to venture to the sand to enjoy all that the beach has to offer. Locally and regionally, nothing comes close to this home. It is unique, irreplaceable and irresistible.

STUDIOS BRINGS HOLLYWOOD INTO THE HOME

WRIT T EN BY QUINN ROBERTS

Working with antiques and salvage, with a background in ceramics, Breck Armstrong has handled some unusual materials throughout his career. So when he bought a few 35mm film reels on a whim from a friend, a new project was born.

“I really didn’t know what to do with them in the beginning,” Armstrong said.

“Then I just started playing around with the nuts and bolts of it and came up with the table.”

Helping people bring the big screen into their home or office, each film reel table by Moss Studios is made just outside of Lansing, Michigan with an original aluminum 35 mm film reel from the 1930s and costs $850. In between two sheets of glass, the reel is offset by a steel base made from salvaged gear parts.

First introducing the design in 2008, Armstrong went through a few different prototypes before settling on the final table. The biggest change Armstrong made throughout the process was having the table become adjustable, ranging in height from 18 to 26 inches.

“I really like repurposing and designing products that speak for themselves and stand alone,” Armstrong said. “I want the object to be recognizable, but not too tricky. It has to be truly authentic.”

Finding and buying most of the film reels at flea markets and on the internet, Armstrong has traveled from New York to Ohio to California to find the parts he needs to make each table.

While the aluminum film reels are from the 1930s, much of the actual film comes from other decades. A few of the movies he’s come across have included: North by Northwest, Dances with Wolves and Nicholas Nickleby.

Getting interest in the piece because of its authenticity, he even sold about 25 tables in 2011 to Anthropologie, who featured the table in stores across the country.

“Anything to do with movies, cameras and reels, people are nostalgic about,” Armstrong said. “People really connect to the piece and find comfort in it.”

Wine to me is passion.

It's family and friends.

It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit.

Wine is art. It's culture.

It's the essence of civilization and the art of living. ~ Robert Mondavi

TOTAL TRANSPARENCY With the rates that we offer, there is nothing to hide.

We provide our clients honest answers, sound advice and exclusive programs.

Recent Client Testimonial: “I was given Regan’s contact information from our realtor in order to secure financing for our remodel.

After shopping the loan around with two big banks and a mortgage broker I realized I could have saved myself a lot of time and gone with my first instinct which was Regan. He made what is usually a long and painful process (this is my 4th home loan) a very short process with absolutely no pain. Every lender I spoke with said my loan would not be a problem but when I would ask specific questions regarding the details even the big banks didn’t really know the answers and Regan did. I know it sounds like a cliché, but Regan delivered exactly what he promised me and in half the time.”

- Joe and Carrie

Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasn’t had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that I’ve gained the trust and respect of my clients. In today’s market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal.

Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and find out why Watermark is right for you.
