506 S Gertruda Ave

Welcome to Zen House. Rare opportunity to live in a stunning, custom architectural masterpiece with massive ocean views on arguably the nicest street in South Redondo Beach. Walking distance to the ocean, this home is more like a compound and was designed and built by Internationally-renowned architect Pat Killan.

More than a house, it's a sanctuary with a rare combination of natural light, stunning architectural design, thoughtful attention to every detail, and an organic relationship to both the ocean and the earth. Equally potent, yet less tangible is a certain energy that flows through every corner of the home - it has incredible feng shui - and former tenants have all reported experiencing extreme levels of creativity, opportunity and yes, abundance. If you are of discriminating taste and a statement home is what you are looking for, there is no other house quite like this one, regardless of price point.

Offering a unique combination of high-style, views, and tranquility, guests enter the property through a locked gate and approach the front door under a gorgeous laced Torrey Pine tree. The home is centered around a beautiful bamboo-lined koi pond and organic waterfall. It boasts ocean views of the living room, kitchen, one downstairs bedroom, master suite and upstairs bonus room. Every room in this thoughtfully designed home opens to the outdoors through floor to ceiling glass doors providing seamless flow from interior to peaceful exterior spaces. The huge ocean-view deck off the front of the house provides for year-round al fresco entertaining.

This light-filled, Japanese-inspired modern architectural home is a Zen paradise, gorgeously appointed with top of the line everything - from flooring to tiles to light fixtures, including an all-Miele kitchen, bathrooms outfitted with high-end Dornbracht chrome fixtures, a Japanese soaking tub, and a huge laundry room with a ton of storage and a Bosch Washer/Dryer. The entire top floor has soaring ceilings under a beautiful wooden cylindrical roof, which includes your exquisite master suite with sweeping views spanning PV to Malibu, fireplace, 2 private decks one overlooking the ocean, the other overlooking the koi pond. Luxurious and elegant Master Bath is enormous with dual sinks, all German cabinetry/fixtures, a European jet tub for 2, very large walk-in shower with top of the line fixtures, and a massive walk in closet.

Adjacent to the master is a bonus room with frameless corner windows to capture uninterrupted ocean views, which works as a spectacular office or master sitting room. Other features include a lovely dining room with bar and bar fridge/freezer, as well as a lovely sitting room/TV watching room originally designed as a Japanese Tatami tearoom which opens to the koi pond, and a private bamboo-lined backyard which the rear bedrooms open onto for additional indoor/outdoor tranquil living.

This is a must-see home. Perhaps you are looking for the ideal spot in the Southbay to call home, or a sublime designer-perfect second home, the many interior rooms and exterior spaces provide for multiple private retreats, ideal for one or more private home offices for the many who are now working remotely. We used to live in prime Manhattan Beach, but traded in the tightness and density of the Sand Section for this amazing South Redondo Beach paradise equally close to the beach but with a sense of airiness and wide streets not found in Manhattan or Hermosa.

The home has radiant heat floors, so when the weather gets a little chillier, there is nothing yummier under your feet. Huge garage with finished flooring, large built -in workbench with tons of storage, slatwall, and 220v electric charging station for your Tesla or other electric or hybrid vehicle.

Serious inquiries only. I'm looking for only an A+ tenant with excellent credit and references. Will consider short-term lease for the right tenants. Please call me to discuss your specific needs.
