Peninsula Sotheby’s International Realty in Rolling Hills Estates, California, recently sold a landmark Manhattan Beach home for $10.9 million. Gerard Bisignano had both sides of the sale of 1600 The Strand in Manhattan Beach, designed by noted architect Ray Kappe.
According to the Multiple Listing Service real estate database it sets a new mark for the highest home sale in the history of the South Bay beach cities. The previous high was $10.7 million for another Strand home sold in 2007. The 5,200 sq. ft. home, which was built by famed Hollywood animator Lou Scheimer, was on the market for 420 days. Among its unique features are a rooftop pool and deck that would no longer be permissible under current zoning. The deck’s 35 foot height represents the highest vantage point on the Manhattan Beach Strand.
