"Palazzo on Poinsettia". It sounds like a dreamy retreat! With its Italian-inspired exterior design situated on a quintessential block in the Tree Section, this 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom residence offers a refreshing blend of sophisticated elegance and comfort. From the private gated stone courtyard entry to the towering clear-story living room, every detail exudes luxury. Hosting dinners will be a delight in the formal dining room with its high coffered ceilings, while the newly remodeled center island kitchen, with custom crafted Inset bead, small bone style cabinetry, quartz countertops and handmade tile backsplash, is a culinary delight; with a complete array of lustrous stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner Viking range, built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, under-counter microwave, and U-line wine cooler. The interiors are awash in natural light that accentuates the gleaming Brazilian Cherry floors, and custom plantation shutters and window coverings. The family room, with its large built-in lighted entertainment center and fireplace, opens up to a verdant outdoor living area. Upstairs, the romantic Primary suite is a true sanctuary, boasting a fireplace, sitting area, and a private balcony where you can unwind in peace overlooking the lushness of the backyard. And then there is the completely renovated Primary bath, impeccably designed and reimagined with custom cabinets,, swirling spa tub, marble and handmade ceramic tile, and a massive, walk-in shower. One of the other upstairs bedrooms is en-suite and the two other bedrooms are connected with a Jack-and-Jill bath. The convenient full service upstairs laundry room has a sink, and plenty of storage and folding space. But the amenities don't stop there! This spectacular floorplan includes a downstairs bedroom/office, with direct bath access, and a basement with limestone floors. What a perfect spot for a work-out/yoga room, or wine room, or kids rec room. You will love the fully renovated garage with epoxy flooring, custom cabinets, shelving and storage. There is Central AC, lots of smart home technology and ceiling fans upstairs. There's even an outdoor shower to help keep the beach sand outside. And with one of the most superlative school systems in the country, and downtown Manhattan Beach basically a 10 minute walk down the nearby chip path, this should be your palazzo.
