Zoned for Silver Spur Elementary School ranked 3rd highest Los Angeles County API score (Robinson ranked #11 - [source: 2012 Dept of Education]) its quickly become the most sought after neighborhood in the area with its mature eucalyptus tree lined streets, new construction projects everywhere you turn, and PARKING anytime you want it. With downtown Los Angeles just a 25.5 mile drive (Manhattan Beach Tree Section is a 24 mile drive) why not buy a 12,700+ square foot lot instead of a 4,800 square foot lot to build your dream house -- when theyre the same price?

south bay
The Madrona Marsh Nature Preserve, located just east of Del Amo Fashion Center and bounded on the north and south by Plaza del Amo and Sepulveda Boulevard, and on the east and west by Maple and Madrona avenues, is considered to be the last remaining vernal marsh in Los Angeles County. Vernal marshes are found in low-lying areas where rainfall runoff accumulates. The Marsh preserve is a remnant of once extensive natural systems that existed along the coastal plain and coastal terraces of Southern California. The preserve is situated on land that has been in oil production since 1924. This is why it was never initially developed for commercial or residential uses. In the early 1960s, this area had been included as a proposed site for a new state college, that eventually became Cal State Dominguez Hills. In 1964, this area was then proposed for a Torrance Municipal golf course, but was never pursued due to high cost estimates to acquire the land. In 1972, Torrance Investment Co., a rm consisting of developers Ray Watt, Guilford Glazer and Shurl Curci proposed developing the whole parcel for homes, condominiums and ofce space. The group, Friends of the Madrona Marsh was formed in 1972, and together with another group, STOP, Stop Torrance Overdevelopment Plans, opposed the development proposals. Negotiations with environmentalists, debates and environmental impact reports continued throughout the 1970s. In 1980, the developers offered 15 acres for preservation. In 1983, they came up with an offer which eventually would be accepted: 34.4 acres would be deeded to the city, with another 8.5 acres made available for sale. The developers used the land to develop the Park del Amo condominium project. In 1984, Torrance was given a deed to the marsh, but it would be two more years until the arrangement would become formalized. The city nally won clear title to the land on September 16, 1986. Over the years, the marsh began to take shape as a nature preserve. Tons of truckloads of trash and other dumped debris were hauled away in 1989, and in 1994, 200 tons of inactive oil drilling pipes on the property were dug up and removed. The 8,000-square-foot Madrona Marsh Nature Center located across from the marsh at 3201 Plaza del Amo, opened on Saturday, April 28, 2001. The $1.8 million project was a joint venture of the Friends of the Madrona Marsh and the City of Torrance, using funds from Proposition A, which passed in 1996. Activities include bird and nature walks, natural history classes and workshops, habitat restoration, science and astronomy programs, art exhibits, and childrens nature programs.

Kaminsky
AUCTION
Villa Rockledge - Laguna Beach, CA
DRE#01375969BOND#351269
THE INSTITUTE FOR LUXURY HOME MARKETING RECENTLY AWARDED ED KAMINSKY FROM THE KAMINSKY REAL ESTATE GROUP THE ANNUAL AWARD GIVEN TO THE REAL ESTATE AGENT WITH THE BEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR A SPECIFIC PROPERTY IN THE PAST CALENDAR YEAR. Kaminsky created and executed on a very strategic global marketing campaign for a 14 million dollar ocean front Historical property in Laguna Beach. The property had languished on the market for nearly a year when he was approached by the owner to create a plan to get the property sold in a timely fashion at market value. Kaminsky combined auction strategy from his company Premiere Estates Auction Company with time tested strategies that he has harnessed over the last 25 years marketing high end real estate along the Coast of California. The focus of the campaign was to identify the ideal buyers both locally, nationally and globally for the property and get them in attendance to a pre-planned extravaganza. To attract the buyers he invited noted historical architectural experts as well as a fully catered event complete with a 5-piece jazz band. Hundreds of potential suitors attended and it resulted in a sale at just over $14 Million in under 3 weeks to an all cash buyer. Kaminsky stated, A project Iike this takes incredible teamwork and pinpoint execution in order to help a seller maximize a price in a timely fashion. It takes diligent work from our entire team as well as cooperation from the seller in allowing us to prepare the home in its best light. To see the sellers satised smile on their face when we cross the nish line is what gives me the energy and motivation to continue think outside the box and remain innovative in this very competitive market and sometimes challenging marketplace.

sunrise domes
WRIT TEN BY QUINN ROBERTS
One of the best things about living in the South Bay is that it can feel like summer Made out of galvanized steel tubing, the domes weather well. Along with vinyl any time of the year. Yet, other parts of the country arent as lucky. Sunrise Domes and shrink wrap covers, the company also offers dormer windows, cupolas and plywood panels that last for years. There really is an innovation to the dome, Goslin founder Justin Goslin had that in mind when creating the company in December 2007. A multipurpose product, the dome is mostly used as a greenhouse or garden said. We have created small things that set our structure apart and really make trellis, but plenty of customers use it as an outdoor workshop or pool/jacuzzi cover. It all depends on the season and what people want to do with the dome. it unique. Coming in four different sizes (16, 20, 26, 30 feet), customers can also special We are always thinking about aesthetics. We didnt want to have a square frame, Goslin said. We wanted it to be a beautiful structure, but also have a blend of practicality in it. With its geodesic design, the dome is lightweight, uses 25 percent less materials to enclose a given space, and its curved shape naturally deects wind and sheds snow accumulation. Goslins interest in geodesic design came while getting a degree in mechanical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. He stayed near there to create Sunrise Domes, with the companys workshops now in Southern New England. FOR MORE INFO, VISIT: WWW.SUNRISEDOMES.COM order Sunrise Domes as big as 40 feet. Depending on the size and the amount of accessories ordered, the domes can cost as little as $725. They can cost between $1,699-$9,999 if a shrink wrap cover or vinyl cover is included.It really does something to your subconscious, Goslin said. Because of the geodesic design, it does something to your mind. It is a sleek curve instead of a conventional rectangular design.

WRIT TEN BY QUINN ROBERTS PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL JONASON
Gavin Hampson was burnt out from his job in the lm industry as a freelance scenic artist. So, he decided to switch career paths and open Grot at 205 S. Pacic Coast Hwy in Redondo Beach in 1995. I was getting into my mid-30s then and was working on my knees for 16 to 18 hours a day, Hampson said. This shop was a way for me to use a lot of the techniques I had learned and apply it to furniture. Offering mostly mid-century modern Danish and American furniture, Hampson said most of the pieces in the store right now are from the 1950s and 1960s. His favorite piece at the moment is a Sven Engstrom black arch chair. One can also nd things like Eero Saarinen tulip chairs, a Nelson bubble lamp and a Tove & Edvard Kindt-Larsen coffee table. Keeping things at a relatively reasonable price, Hampson makes sure customers can nd items for as little as $50 and nothing higher than $2,500. This is a place where someone can get a well designed piece of furniture for a reasonable price. Even going up to Los Angeles, it would be so much more money, Hampson said. I like to get things and move them out of the shop quickly. Hampson said it is especially important to put eye-catching items out in the front of the store. is going to get their attention, said Hampson. where as people just throw stuff away when it breaks now. every day. It keeps you stimulated.
& reinvents
reclaims, restores
He focuses on pieces that have bright colors, are portable and cant be ruined by the sun. People are going down PCH at 40 mph, so you have to put something out that
Doing anything he can to get vintage pieces into the store, Hampson takes items on consignment, travels to peoples homes, and even has a sign on the outside of the shop alerting people that he buys furniture. Not only does Hampson sell furniture, he also repairs and resurfaces it. He especially loves working with wood, trying to once again bring out its natural beauty.The older stuff is made to last. You can recover this furniture even when it has been abused, Hampson said. You can bring it back,
Never knowing who or what is going to walk through the doors, Hampson knows he made the right decision when opening Grot 18 years ago. Every day is different with owning this store, Hampson said. That is pretty exciting. It is a fresh challenge
