FEATURED LISTINGS

Your Own Private Beach....

Tonys Blog

A dear riend was visiting us rom Toronto recently and he was seeking advice while contemplating the purchase o a particular property

he was very interested in. He kept reerring to valuations and how there seemed to be an inconsistency within the marketplace even

when including the variables such as schools, proximity to nightlie, parking, etc - all very tangible and reasonable components o course.

Then I asked him about their decision making process... was the decision to buy the home fnancially or emotionally driven? The National

Association o Realtors conducts routine studies and in July reported 31% o Buyers in the marketplace are age 33 to 47 (the largestgroup by age category) and the median age was 39 - ironically the exact age o my riend. It was a very long conversation but a Buyer

simply cannot deny that there is someone else in the marketplace looking or the exact same eatures in a home. Thereore, the largest

contributing actor to valuation in todays real estate market is very simply appeal (or what the theory calls Demand). It was a healthy

debate or hours and he summarized quite eloquently - So what youre saying is I have to bid just above what the next emotional Buyer

is willing to pay or it. Exactly.

PALOS VERDES COUNTRY CLUB

BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES

Shortly ater Frank Vanderlip acquired the 16,000 acre Palos Verdes Peninsula with a

group o investors in 1913 he developed plans or a gol course on his property. Original plans

included the construction o a magnifcent gol club on the blus overlooking Portuguese

Bend, to be known as Los Palos Verdes Country Club. The gol links was to include a

clubhouse with 150 guest rooms, locker rooms, and numerous dining and community rooms.

Other amenities were to include a large swimming pool, tennis courts, polo grounds, and a

yacht club with concrete pier. World War I however curtailed these plans or the country club.

In the early 1920s, developers o the Palos Verdes Project built a number o amenities to promote

lot sales in the new community o Palos Verdes Estates. The gol club was constructed at the same

time as other amenities o the new city, such as the La Venta Inn and the Palos Verdes Swim Club.

Palos Verdes Gol Club opened on November 15, 1924. The gol course was designed and built by the

team o William P. Billy Bell and George C. Thomas. It is a classic example o courses built during the

era that has become known as the Golden Age o Gol Course Architecture. Other examples o their

work in Southern Cali. include, the North Course at Los Angeles CC, Riviera CC, Bel Air CC, as well as

the Ojai Valley Inn Gol Course. The course was designed with ocean views rom 14 o its 18 holes. The

club was very popular in the 1920s with celebrities such as Douglas Fairbanks.

The land on which the course is situated is owned by the City o Palos Verdes Estates,

and the club is operated under a concession agreement with the City. The club is semi-

private, with private memberships sold giving club members priority tee times, and only club

members and residents o the City (in the aternoon) may play on the weekends. The public

does have access at certain times and days mid-week.

The clubhouse was designed by Clarence E. Howard, with landscaping design by the

Olmsted Brothers. The landscaping included hundreds o Eucalyptus Trees, which line the

airways o several holes, most o which had been planted years beore by early ranchers. The

clubhouse cost $60,000 to build, and it was determined almost immediately that it needed to be

expanded. Both the course itsel and its restaurant quickly became overcrowded. The building

was extended 60 t to the east to make room or a new gol shop and caddy house. The clubhouse

was completely remodeled in 2007.

The Country Club hosts twice

monthly meetings o the Palos

Verdes Breakast Club, a group

o Palos Verdes Estates men

who have met since the clubs

ounding in May 1942. The intent

o the club was to bring the

people o the community closer

together during the trying times

o World War II.

Home prices in the U.S. have historically risen at an average of

about 3.6% a year. Interestingly, if the housing market had not

gone through the recent boom and bust cycle, and prices simply

had risen at the historic average of 3.6% during the cycle, home

prices would be almost exactly where they are today. Last year

in Manhattan Beach the average sales price for Single Family Homes was $1,791,081, which

would equate to a price gain of approximately $65,000 at the average price increase

of 3.6%. Thus far in 2013, the average sales price in Manhattan Beach is $2,005,700 a

$214,619 (12%) increase year-over-year. See more LOCAL MARKET TRENDS on page 60.

Home Values are up for the 16th month in a row , but higher

home values has not deterred buyers from purchasing

as new inventory comes on the market; new homes sales

are at a 5 year high. According to Zillow, home values are

expected to rise at least 5% in the next 12 months and so is

the rate at which buyers purchase property.

Originally rom Atlanta, Georgia, Cindy Shearin o NW Real Estate Brokers

grew up around the real estate business; her aunts and uncles operated a

development company and as a child she was ascinated by the building, buying

and selling. Immediately out of college, Shearin worked in building management

and ultimately marketing in Texas. Eventually, she ended up in the South Bay

selling and developing real estate. I loved what I was doing, I worked 24/7 and

was hooked on the business, she explains. After over 20 years in the business,

she nds being able to watch families grow and my ability to help the nextgeneration with their real estate decisions incredibly rewarding.

Shearins oce consists o two other licensed agents and two ull-time

assistants. In addition, I regularly attend industry seminars to stay abreast of

industry developments, and am very well connected via round table groups

attended by the top South Bay real estate professionals.

Shearins specic expertise when it comes to the South Bay are denitely

in Manhattan Village and The Beach House properties. Shearin can answer any

questions one might have about building or remodeling in Manhattan Village.

This week I am bringing to market a single family home in the Manhattan

Village. The Manhattan Village is the only gated community in Manhattan

Beach. The excitement stems from the fact that it has been many many monthssince a single family home has come available for purchase, she explains.

Until recently, the changes that are occurring in the Manhattan Village

have been a well kept secret for many residents of the South Bay. New homes

are starting to be built and total remodels are occurring. Its well landscaped

common areas, community pools and spas, pedestrian riendly environment and

proximity to retail amenities, makes the community unique to the South Bay. As

an added bonus, one can walk to the newly renovated Manhattan Country Club

and enjoy its full range of offerings.

The Manhattan Village is beginning to be recognized or the unique eatures

it offers. Where else in the South Bay can children safely ride their bikes on the

streets, play and walk their pets in the common areas and then go or a swim inthe community pool? Adults enjoy being able to take a leisurely stroll along well

lit walkways at any hour o the day, plus be walking distance rom banks, stores,

restaurants, movie theatres, golng, the country club and more.

The Manhattan Village community abuts directly onto the Manhattan Village

Mall, which will soon undergo a major renovation, while the adjacent Manhattan

Country Club already transformed through a recent multi-million dollar overhaul.

While she lives and works mainly in Manhattan Beach, Shearin loves the

entire South Bay, and has been in love with it since she rst set oot here in her

mid-twenties. The South Bay has an incredible blend of educated, professional

and accomplished population rom all parts o the world, combined with a small

town avor and sought after value system, she says. Life in the Beach Citiescannot be surpassed anywhere in the world!

AvAlon,CAtAlinA

written By deniSe kano

While many o our South Bay cities have recently enjoyed milestone birthdays

and celebrations, one town in particular stands out due to its unique location and

colorful history.

Catalina Island is located just twenty-two miles across the bay rom the Los

Angeles Harbor, and Avalon is the only incorporated city on the island, as well

as the southernmost city in Los Angeles County. While Avalon has a population

of approximately 3,800 year-round residents, that number swells to an annual

count of one million due to visitors and tourists making the exciting trip across

the bay.

As the ship slowly approaches Catalina Island and Avalon Harbor comes into

view, visitors feel as though they are arriving at a beautiful Mediterranean port.

Avalon is so picturesque and quaint, and at just over 2-2/3 square miles in size,

its easy to stroll around the town.

Small, cottage-type homes make up the downtown area, and typically youll

see a gol car parked nearby every home -- the main mode o transportation on

Avalon. There are very few cars on the island and not a single trafc light. You

truly feel a world away from the crowds and stress of the mainland.

Many on the mainland have been visiting Catalina Island for years.

We started going in the 50s with our parents, says Kenneth DiNoto, a

longtime Palos Verdes resident. It was our favorite vacation spot with our

family. Wed go on the big white steamship. DiNoto recalls the steamship being

surrounded by speedboats upon arriving at Avalon, and as the steamship was

tying up to the dock, local kids would dive for coins.

Although Avalon has changed a little bit over these one hundred years, the

town has maintained a small, beach town vibe that is getting harder to nd along

our populated coast.

A conscientious effort has been made to provide that same friendly

atmosphere, says DiNoto, who recalls dropping shing lines off the end of the

pier as a kid. Eventually, he took his own children to Catalina every year, and now

there is an annual family trip that includes his grandchildren.

Todays Avalon obviously owes much to William Wrigley, Jr., who oversaw

much o the development o this resort town, including the construction o the

nearly twelve-story high Catalina Casino. More history on the popular Casino

as well as Catalina history can be ound at the Catalina Museum, located in the

Casino building. In honor of Avalons 100th birthday, the Museum is hosting a

special retrospective, Avalon: 100 Years of Bizarre, Fascinating, and Colorful

History. The exhibit opens on October 11, 2013. For more information, go to

www.catalinamuseum.org.

Unique and textured surfaces redene what it means to live alongside beauty and

art; they set ones home apart rom the ordinary and include art in our day-to-day

cooking, living, and general home experiences that which we cant nd in generic

store-bought tiles and grout. Mosaics are a fabulous way to bring texture and beauty

into any area o your home, including bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor patios, and even

living rooms.

The Metamorphosis Collection, designed by artist Sara Baldwin or New Ravenna

Mosaics, transforms organic patterns and textures into the timeless craft of custom

artistic mosaic. Inspired by nature, Baldwin feels that its beauty and inspiration

seem inexhaustible to the artist and creator. Ravennas stone cuts are named after

the natural patterns, textures and hues that inspired them, such as Mist, Cosmos,

Mirage, and Path.

Steellife

7/27/2019 South Bay Digs 8.18.13

52/91


As a landscape architect in the Pacic Northwest, Shannon Lester continually

came across the same problem. Many of her clients could never nd the modern

planters they so desperately wanted for their outdoor spaces.

Thats when Lester had an idea. What if she created them? With over 15 years of

experience designing public spaces and private landscapes, Lester decided to form

her own company called Steel Life in early 2012.

I wanted to create architecturally interesting planters that were made in the

United States, Lester said. I also thought a lot about sustainability.

Hoping to make the perect planters or cacti, succulents and other drought-

tolerant plants, Lester designed The Desert Collection. The shape of the bowls

eliminate the need for excessive soil and unnecessary water usage that is typicallyused in deeper containers. The designs also reduce the chance of plants being

overwatered and having their roots rot in the process.

Steel Lie oers ve dierent design options within the collection, ranging in

price from $98-$296. Short and tall, narrow and wide, the collections planters can

t almost anywhere. The mod dish offers three different height options, while the

matchstick planter comes in two different sizes. The three other options in the

collection include the jack planter, the shallow root vessel and the living wall.

While color options vary depending on the planter, Steel Lie planters come

in citrus (orange), sky (blue), verdant (lime green), frost (white) and citrine (red).

I really wanted to bring color into the garden, Lester said. These pops of

color are really bold and bright. It really is a conversation piece

Assembling the planters in Bend, Oregon, which is a ew hours south o Portland,

Steel Lie works with local artisans, cratsmen and small businesses in the Pacic

Northwest. Each bowl is individually spun, with Steel Life using machinery that

dates back to the 1900s. A few of the planters are even made from locally salvaged

and up cycled steel, while the walnut and American white oak used in the other

planters is nished with UV-resistant renewable oils and waxes.

And while Lesters designs were specically or planters, plenty o customers

have found other unique ways to use them. Lester said that shes seen customers

use the planters as fruit bowls, coolers and even letter holders.Receiving interest in Steel Lie rom all over the country and even into

Australia, Lester said shes sold planters from California to New York. Specically

in Southern Caliornia, the planters can be purchased at stores in Palm Springs,

Costa Mesa and Irvine.

I really thought about the design, Lester said. Unlike a lot of designs out

there, the ones I created are for specic types of plants. I want the plant to live a

long time.
