One of a kind mini-estate. This classic cottage style residence is privately situated on a 10,000+ sqft level site, just 2 blocks from the beach. Inside the walled compound, ocean and Catalina Island views compliment a stunning tropical environment. The rambling cottage overlooks an enormous swimming pool, spa, sauna, gazebos, L.E. Cord rails, gardens and thousands of bricks laid painstakingly over the decades. The bright interiors are accented with steel pegged floors, skylights, vaulted beamed ceilings, French doors and an atmosphere of casual elegance. The residence boasts a guest quarters, spacious entertainment room, porcelain accented kitchen, porches, patios and generous ocean view decking. Without adjacent neighbors on three sides, the privacy of the compound presents a unique beach-close retreat. Truly an entertainer's showplace with a history that goes on and on.
