When one endeavors to build a special custom home it starts with an excellent location. 401 27th Street, MB fits the bill, sitting on the crest of 27th St and Alma on an oversized, north corner. This special plot allowed the family to assemble a dream team to design and meticulously build their iconic home, reverently referred to as "Cloudbreak". Combining exceptional design talent (Jon Starr), with precision, quality building (Dan Bronner) and no budget restrictions, they were able to create incredibly special living spaces that allow privacy, tranquility and massive ocean views. Cloudbreak is a coastal oasis with an unheard of 6,227sf of open living space above ground, including 4 bedrooms and a kids family room that could easily be a 5th bedroom. Upon entering through the mahogany outer gate, one steps into a stone courtyard sanctuary, centered around a majestic 25' tall Laurel tree that welcomes you to the heart and soul of the home. The ground level open entry is designed with massive 9 floor to ceiling wood sliding pocket doors that open into seamless indoor/outdoor living spaces. Also, rare, is the brilliant layout placing the main living areas on the ground level. A unique feature that benefits from having ocean views from all levels. From its dramatic great room with its 20 Douglas Fir ceilings, well-appointed gourmet kitchen, expansive island, dining area, 6 zoned AC and second family room with an elevated ocean view stone patio to the west, perfect for entertaining with its fire pit or BBQs. The second floor has rich built-in library shelves, cabinets, a fireplace, enough room for a billiard table and a beautiful office with sliding mahogany & glass doors. The east area of the second floor, one finds 3 large bedrooms, two baths & a spacious kids family room that could very easily be converted into a fifth bedroom suite. The top floor offers a world-class ocean view living area and a bar purposely designed for entertaining that flows seamlessly to the spacious indoor/outdoor entertaining haven with a fireplace, spa tub, BBQ and seating area with unblock-able ocean views from Palos Verdes, past Catalina Island all the way to Malibu and beyond. Going east on the top floor, one finds the luxurious, private primary suite, which is a virtual paradise with a custom stone, tiled spa-like primary bathroom, walk-in closet & a 400sf stone deck along its southern flank.
