About 2516 Walnut Avenue
Italian inspired essence and timeless design, 2516 Walnut Avenue presents a thoughtfully crafted home with exceptional scale, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. A grand entry sets the tone with a cathedral-style walkway and mosaic tile detailing. Inside, a double-height foyer opens to the formal sitting room, anchored by a stone fireplace and framed by a Juliet balcony above. Sightlines extend to the open-concept main level, where the dining room, kitchen, and family room connect. At the heart of the home, a charming courtyard adorned with star jasmine and mosaic tile offers a private and tranquil setting, accessible through French doors from multiple living spaces. The kitchen is generous in scale and designed for both functionality and gathering, centered around a tiered island with breakfast bar seating. A full suite of premium appliances includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, Miele dishwasher, warming drawer, and wine fridge. The adjacent family room is warm and inviting, complete with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and French doors that open to the backyard, allowing natural light to fill the space. Outdoors, the backyard serves as a peaceful retreat, surrounded by mature landscaping and featuring a spacious patio, outdoor fireplace, and ample room for dining and entertaining. Also on the main level, a versatile ensuite bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative space, along with a conveniently located powder room and direct access to the two-car garage. Upstairs, four additional ensuite bedrooms provide both privacy and comfort, each offering abundant natural light, full bathrooms, and generous closet space. A front-facing bedroom features vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and a Juliet balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. Privately situated at the rear, the primary suite is a true retreat. Expansive in scale, the space showcases vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a fireplace, and French doors that open to a private terrace overlooking the backyard. The ensuite bath is well-appointed with dual vanities, a soaking tub, glass shower, private water closet, built-in makeup vanity, and a large walk-in closet. Additional features include a full laundry room with built-in storage and a sink. A home defined by architectural character and thoughtful scale, 2516 Walnut Avenue delivers a refined living experience in the heart of Manhattan Beach.
