Designed by Laney LA Architecture with interiors by Waterleaf, this Hill Section estate is conceived as a living coastline—glass, cedar, iron, and concrete layered in harmony with sand, sea, and sky. Rather than simply facing the Pacific, the home sits parallel to it, creating sweeping, wraparound sightlines that immerse you in horizon, light, and air.

Set on a rare corner lot of over 9,300 square feet with additional breathing room from the city right-of-way, the property feels more like a private compound than a neighborhood residence. Open on two sides, it offers a level of privacy and scale seldom found in Manhattan Beach. More than 9,400 square feet of living space balances volume and warmth—grand enough for entertaining, calm enough for everyday retreat.

The understated arrival reveals little, enhancing the sense of discovery within. Ceiling heights are thoughtfully calibrated for comfort, while expansive walls of glass pocket away to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Ocean views extend from both levels, with daily life oriented around the main living floor where kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly to outdoor terraces and yard.

Six bedrooms plus an office are complemented by well-considered bonus spaces including a game room, wine room, and full gym—each integrated naturally into the home’s rhythm. Outside, the property offers an exceptionally usable, contiguous yard, a rarity in the Hill Section, with room to envision a pool, pickleball court, or future outdoor amenities—all oriented toward the view plane.

Sustainability and technology are embedded throughout, including 48 solar panels, multiple Tesla Powerwalls, multi-zone climate control, and full home automation managing lighting, climate, sound, and security with ease.

100 N. Dianthus is a modern coastal estate that lives like a private resort—architecturally intentional, emotionally grounding, and quietly confident—offering a rare alignment of design, setting, and lifestyle above the Pacific.
