In 2017, a year after their marriage, the couple purchased the then-brand-new property at a price of $2.73 million. In 2019, the pair reportedly updated to a $5 million multi-structured compound in Venice as their main residence. The “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” star currently owns three homes in Southern California. However, Robbie and Ackerley are now planning to bid farewell to Hancock Park as they have listed their former residence on the market for a price of $3.48 million.

Beyond secured gates and a high wall, the nearly 3,400 square foot property includes four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This two-story home can be accessed from the picturesque tree-lined street and is described as “Soho-inspired.” The living area highlights a marble fireplace and dazzling chandelier. The family room offers access to the large outdoor patio equipped with a curved sofa and charming swing. The bistro-style kitchen sits adjacent to the casual dining area and highlights Thermador appliances, a marble sink, white cabinets, and a spacious island. The formal dining room presents a stylish light fixture and picture window.

Heading upstairs, the landing features built-in shelving and a bench leading to the master suite. The master suite includes a balcony that overlooks the pool. Stepping outside, the space offers entertainment options such as a pool, cabana, and bar. Decorative elements of the home consist of hand-fabricated metal doors, Carrara marble, and imported European oak floors. Other perks include an office, wine cellar, private pet room, two-car garage, whole-house audio, and camera-equipped security system.

Sam Real and Justin Fierro of Engel & Völkers represent the listing for this property.

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.

Haute Residence: How did the real estate market look at the beginning of 2020?

Cindy Shearin: The real estate market in the South Bay typically fluctuates very little. Pre-pandemic, we had low inventory, market prices were steady, and the US economy looked very promising.  There was a temporary pause in the market for about 60 days starting in late February.  This pause was simply due to the unknown with COVID-19. Though very brief, movement in the marketplace picked back up quickly in mid-April.

HR: What, if any, changes did the pandemic have on prices? On inventory?

CS: The pandemic has had little-to-no effect on the South Bay market, especially in Manhattan Beach. We continue to have low inventory, plus there are fewer spec or custom homes being constructed due to the short supply of lots in which to build on. In fact, the Shearin Group has one of the few spec homes under construction right now in Manhattan Beach, but we’ll share more on that with Haute Residence when we get closer to completion.  

Interestingly, our numbers are up on properties sold, and even price points are up despite COVID-19. The South Bay is one of the premier areas to live in LA, and we see many Angelinos buying second homes as beach houses during this time. Buyers are looking for a place to retreat to for a lengthy amount of time but still work remotely from their own home. An excellent solution for this is reflected in an oceanfront property we represent in Hermosa Beach property called the Beach House, LA’s only condotel along the coast in So Cal. The Beach House has been very hot lately as a second home location being a great income property when not in use. Other benefits of owning at the Beach House are being right on The Strand, steps to the sand, daily housekeeping service when wanted, turn-key, and walkable to everything this great beach town has to offer.

HR: Professionally, what have you learned in 2020 about yourself?

CS: It has undoubtedly been a unique year of self-discovery for us all.  We quickly learned how to maintain our top efficiency by working remotely.  We also had to adapt to safety changes in real estate by developing new methods for working with clients in person and online and just being flexible to each individual's comfort level. 

I feel fortunate with how easily we all adjusted and maintained healthy attitudes as well as healthy bodies.  We have great hope for the new year, and we'd like to wish everyone a healthy, happy 2021.

Cindy Shearin presents

A timeless-lifestyle estate in Lunda Bay that has it all; stunning ocean and sunset views, sparkling pool, grassy yard & pool house, plus much more.

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 homebuyer 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 sq. ft. 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.

The post A Vacation Lifestyle Estate In Palos Verdes Estates By Cindy Shearin appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Some of the most coveted and most expensive properties in Southern California lay along The Strand in the South Bay. This famous four-mile pedestrian pathway is draped between gorgeous beachside estates and pristine sandy beaches from North Manhattan Beach to the border of Torrance Beach. Ocean views are locked-in along The Strand, as well as iconic vistas of the famous Manhattan Beach Pier, and the Hermosa Beach Pier that was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster film LaLa Land.

Manhattan Beach Realtor Cindy Shearin of the Shearin Group intimately knows what life on The Strand is all about. Previously living on The Strand herself, as well as both building and selling multiple homes here over a 30-year career, Shearin has a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients.

A completely unique option for ownership on The Strand in which Shearin is the exclusive agent is the only Condo-tel in the South Bay called Beach House. “The Beach House is an excellent opportunity for clients who want to own on The Strand to enjoy all that the strand-lifestyle has to offer along with the comforts of an upscale hotel, yet not have to carry the responsibility of seaside home maintenance,” explains Shearin. Coupled with that is the perk of being able to own on The Strand for under a million dollars.
