Cindy Shearin presents

One can truly live a life they don’t need a vacation from in this resort-style estate in Lunada Bay.  Everything you need to host the ultimate summer soiree from your backyard; stunning ocean and sunset views, sparkling pool, sprawling grassy lawn, wholly enclosed with privacy fence, and a separate guest house. Couple that with plenty of room for visiting family and friends, and one has found the perfect vacation-lifestyle home.

Enjoying gorgeous sunsets and ocean views are a part of daily life from this home in the prestigious Lunada Bay area of Palos Verdes Estates.  The light-filled estate is designed in a timeless-transitional genre with a nod to soft-modern, making it suitable to any taste.  Recently, the home underwent a full remodel and displays ocean views from almost every room, clean design lines, and all the modern finishings today’s home buyer desires.  Updated details include Carrera marble countertops, wide-plank French Oak floors, crisp white Shaker-style cabinets, French Encaustic tiles, and two massive outdoor decks for indoor/outdoor living, a must in Southern California.

The main house contains four bedrooms and six baths at just over 3700 ft.².   Three of the bedrooms are en-suite with private balconies and newly remodeled baths in Carrera marble, Calacatta Neolith, or Quartz, respectively.  Throughout the home, one will find updated lighting and oodles of natural light.  Built for the Southern California lifestyle, the home is constructed with an open floor plan including a large family room adjacent to the kitchen and flex-space upstairs, perfect for a game room or movie room.  The open modern galley kitchen includes ample storage space, a large kitchen island, updated pendant light fixtures, and a separate food prep area topped with Carrera marble.

Outside, the expansive backyard is fully secured by a privacy fence for safety and seclusion. Here, the large pool and spa are trimmed by a grassy lawn, full outdoor kitchen, and a large patio for lounging and dining. Meanwhile, two large decks on the main house overlook the backyard and pool area to capture spectacular sunset views each evening.  A bonus to this property is the guest/pool house with a 3/4 bath and kitchenette attached to the two-car garage.  This flex-space is perfect for a home office, homework space for distance-learning, or a game room large enough for a full-size pool table and poker table for hosting games nights.

Lunada Bay is one of the most highly desired areas of Palos Verdes Estates for its beauty with towering cliffs and ocean views.   Thorley Road, in particular, is a flat road, perfect for kids riding bikes and skateboarding.  Likewise, it is also walking distance to the shops at Lunada Bay, the elementary school, and high school, an added convenience that is rare on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

2129 Thorley is a vacation lifestyle home with every convenience for the modern family, and a perfect place for basking outdoors in the fantastic climate all summer long.

Address: 2129 Thorley Rd, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274

Price: $3,699,000

Fun-filled events are held year-round in Palos Verdes, but during the holiday season, the hill is teeming with festivities; holiday pageants, The Parade of Lights, tree lighting ceremonies, luncheons, and candlelight services. The city plazas and neighborhoods are a winter wonderland of lights and holiday decor in the season's spirit.

Celebrate the holidays in your timeless-lifestyle estate in Lunada Bay. This home has it all; stunning ocean and sunset views, sparkling pool, grassy yard & guest house—the perfect place to call home with plenty of room for visiting family and friends. Gathering around the cozy fireplace or creating a holiday feast in the roomy kitchen makes entertaining easy. Meanwhile, the kids can watch a holiday flick in the movie room or decorate cookies outside on the lawn in this picture-perfect estate.

Haute Residence: What is your take on what to expect for the Manhattan Beach area real estate in 2021?

Cindy Shearin: The Shearin Group has proudly served the South Bay for more than 30 years. We are grateful to represent such a fantastic community year after year. The beauty of the beach cities and the proximity to LAX Airport, downtown Los Angeles and the city's conveniences keep our marketplace healthy.   

With the new year upon us, we expect a continuing robust market in the South Bay. Luckily, real estate has been hot for both the buyer and the seller during the 2020 pandemic. This has been primarily due to our area's desirability in which to live, low inventory, and minimal new construction. The low amount of new construction is merely due to the lack of buildable lots throughout the beach cities. We continue to see multiple offers and cash offers for homes and the few buildable lots that come to market. Buyers are moving around throughout the coastal communities, from other cities in the greater Los Angeles area, and some movement from buyers from other cities and states that desire to be in our immediate area.

Currently, The Shearin Group is building one of a few spec homes coming to market in Manhattan Beach in late 2021.  We continue to remain in the top tier of real estate groups with a pulse on the market and the "coming soon" inventory. 

We are grateful for our thriving community. Thank you, South Bay clients and friends, for the opportunity to serve you. We'd like to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2021.

“I am so proud of the City of West Hollywood.  Of all the Los Angeles regional townships, West Hollywood has been visionary in its development plan for the beautification of the famous Sunset Strip retail & restaurant locations. Impressive world-class hotels have located here. Parks and broad avenues have been created. West Hollywood is a joy.” - Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA.

"Malibu is still one of the most sought after locations in the world. I believe that prices will continue to increase as inventory is low. In 2020 we saw an influx of people moving to Malibu and I believe that people who have moved here have realized what an incredible place Malibu is." - Jeff Chertow, Malibu, CA.

“Montecito has seen exceptionally strong sales volumes in 2020 as the urban flight into our local communities continues. This, combined with increased Buyer activity from local homeowners, is expected to continue in the early part of 2021 and I see no reason for it to be otherwise.” - Cristal Clarke, Montecito, CA.

“Based on what has been happening as we close out 2020, I fully expect the Pasadena market to continue to thrive into 2021. Our median price just broke 1M and we are still seeing tight inventory, which is leading to multiple offers on many transactions at every price point! There is an influx of people wanting to live in Pasadena from the more western areas of LA because buyers typically can get more space, more house for their money, and a fantastic overall quality of life, all while still being minutes to everything.” - Tim Durkovic, Pasadena, CA.

“November marked the 13^th consecutive month of very low inventory and it set an all-time record low of only 1.99 months of supply.  Buyers, especially from Los Angeles and San Francisco have created a record-breaking year in sales revenue in 2020.  I expect to see low supply and strong demand continue into 2021.” - Wendy Gragg, Santa Barbara, CA.

“Just as the Spanish Flu gave birth to the Roaring Twenties, we feel the years ahead have many records that will be broken. Buyers who want to be in here have multiple residences and California Taxes aren’t any concern.” - Jeff Hyland, Bel-Air, CA.

“I am anticipating that 2021 will be the best year ever for Luxury Real Estate in Southern California. Normally December is a relatively quiet month! However, the Joyce Rey team is currently negotiating five properties between five and $20 million, which is an extraordinary number at any time! Both hope and optimism are evident with vaccines on the horizon! An improving economy and renewed focus on the home environment will spur residential investments in 2021!” - Joyce Rey, Beverly Hills, CA.

“The overall Corona del Mar market has seen a 32% increase in sales for 2020 vs. 2019.  The year over year growth in Corona del Mar can be attributed in part to pent up demand following the initial pause caused by Covid-19, migration from dense urban metro markets, i.e. NY, LA, SF, and historically low-interest rates.  The foregoing factors have placed pressure on the already strained inventory.  For 2021, it appears the current pace will continue, unless and until inventory and demand are more in equilibrium.” - Timothy Norman Tamura, Corona del Mar, CA.

"We anticipate seeing current trends continue with a slight rise in home sales and home prices in most Silicon Beach areas - such as Westchester, Mar Vista and Playa Del Rey. Playa Vista home sales should also maintain similar levels in 2021 although prices behave a bit differently in that market as home and condo prices are seeing decreases year over year." - Kris Zacuto, Silicon Beach, CA.
