This distinguished Manhattan Beach residence is the longtime personal home of celebrated architect David Watson, whose Mediterranean Revival influence is reflected throughout the home’s architecturally detailed and thoughtfully curated design. Travertine stone and hardwood flooring run throughout, reinforcing a sense of craftsmanship and timeless sophistication. Upon entering, an elegant foyer welcomes you with a well-appointed powder room and sightlines into the main living areas. Formal living and dining spaces sit just beyond, designed for intimate gatherings and entertaining. Transitioning seamlessly to the rear of the home, the open-concept family room and kitchen create a warm, relaxed heart of the residence featuring wood beam ceilings, a breakfast nook, and direct access to the backyard. The kitchen includes a recently replaced built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, dual ovens, a breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. Two fireplaces are located on the main level, both gas-ignited and wood-burning, adding character and functionality. The adjacent office contains two sets of French doors and overlooks a private interior courtyard with a fountain and a majestic bougainvillea-laced tower containing the winding ironwork staircase inside. Upstairs, the home offers five bedrooms, including the primary suite, a junior suite, and three secondary bedrooms. The west-facing primary suite features dual walk-in closets, a Juliet terrace, and a spa-inspired ensuite with dual vanities, soaking tub, glass shower, and a private water closet. The junior suite–also west-facing–includes dual walk-in closets, a private terrace, a Juliet balcony, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, and glass shower. A full bathroom with dual vanities serves the secondary bedrooms, and an upper-level laundry room adds functionality. The backyard unfolds as a private sanctuary anchored by stately trees including a striking double-trunk avocado, along with an outdoor fire pit and a barbecue bar with stovetop. An outdoor shower adds a convenient and refreshing touch after a day at the beach. Additional features include solar panels, a fast EV charger, and a premier location close to the greenbelt providing access to downtown Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village, parks, and scenic walking paths. Timeless, inviting, and impeccably crafted, 2508 Pine Ave offers a level of character and grace seldom found on the Manhattan Beach market.
