The land which includes the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula, San Pedro, Torrance, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach, was part of the first Spanish land grant in California. Juan Jose Dominquez, a member of the 1769 Spanish Portola Expedition helped protect Junipero Serra and other Franciscan padres who established a chain of missions from San Diego to Sonoma. Due to Dominguezs many years of dedicated service to the King of Spain, Governor Fages bestowed a provisional grant to the retired old soldier in March 1784, allowing him to graze his cattle on Rancho San Pedro. These original land grants were not considered at the time to be a permanent ownership interest, but were instead merely considered a permit to use the land and to occupy it. This was the first private land grant in Southern California. The boundaries of this original land grant have been a controversial subject of historians, with most historians stating that the Rancho San Pedro consisted of approx. 75,000 acres with the northern boundary of Rancho San Pedro extending in a southwesterly direction to the ocean at a point between Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach.

After the death of Juan Jose in 1809, Manuel Gutierrez, who had been the ranch manager of the Dominquez ranch, became the executor of Juan Joses estate. In his will, drawn up three days before his death, as Juan Jose Dominguez had no wife or children, he left half of Rancho San Pedro to Cristobal Dominguez and the other half was divided between Mateo Rubio, who had been in charge of ranch operations, and Gutierrez. When Cristobal realized that his uncle died in debt and neglected his rancho, he initially wanted no part of his inheritance. He had no money to pay his uncles creditors and could not occupy the rancho, even if he wanted, because he was still obligated to the military. He, in fact, did not even attempt to defend his title to the land for seven years. Gutierrez paid off the debts owed by Juan Jose Dominguez, established residence and assumed control of the rancho.

PIERRE KOENIG, ARCHITECT
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
7127 CREST ROAD - RANCHO PALOS VERDES $1,450,000
Residence for Harold and Martha Henbest, 1966. The architect responsible for arguably two of the most iconic designs of the Case Study House Program works here on a flat, ocean-view lot in Rancho Palos Verdes. As with most of Koenigs designs, the first visual is one of understatement at the street. But past the walled and gated entry, one steps into a highly dramatic and purposefully practical home for Southern California living. A unique, folded-plate roof dramatizes the interiors which, flanked by opposing glass walls, are open and filled with natural light. And, as if anticipating todays lifestyle back in 1966, the original design includes a formal living room, separate dining area and kitchen with adjoining family room; each placed with a strong orientation to the outdoor spaces. Mature Japanese-influenced gardens occupy the front grounds, and the architecture, presented in virtually unaltered condition, appears to borrow from that spirit of true calm, high restraint and absolute preciseness.

In Real EstateTime really is Money.
Selling your Home? Let me show you how to realize Optimum Home Value
Step 1: Intelligent Pricing.
You gain maximum exposure and reach a greater total percentage of prospective buyers when you price your property at market value. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime candidates to purchase your home. Contrarily, if you list your home at a price that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a price that is not the optimum value for your home.
Step 2: Time Value of Money

A critical success factor when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market. If your home is priced improperly at the initial listing phase, or peak interest period, your property may languish on the market. Ultimately, this may lead to a below market value sale price, or worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the greatest probability for a optimum value sale when it is new on the market and the price is reasonable established.
Step 3: Optimum Home Value = P x T Call me for a private consultation!

FOCUS ON THE SAND SECTION

The Birth of the Walk-Street
There are many walk-streets in Manhattan Beach, primarily west of Highland Avenue. Most of the walk-streets in Manhattan Beach appear to have been constructed in 1913 in what is known as the Sand Section. The next phase of walk-street construction occurred between 1923 & 1924, again in the Sand Section, but east of Highland Avenue, between Valley Drive and Crest Drive, from 4th Street to 11th Street. The third phase occurred in 1928 when several of the original 1913 walk-streets were reconstructed and new walk-streets were constructed in the northern part of the Sand Section, between Highland Avenue and Alma Avenue, from 25th Street to 32nd Street. The final phase of walk-street construction was completed in 1969 when the Easterly half of 26th Street, between Vista Drive and Grandview Avenue, was constructed. It differs from the other walk-streets in that it is narrower and follows a unique serpentine path. Considering I wasnt selling real estate at the turn of the last century, I could only imagine what it may have been like to discover the un-touched beauty of early Manhattan Beach. Nostalgic photos show expansive spaces and rolling sand hills reaching down to the beach. Photos show one main road cruising down the beach route, and a few scattered beach cottages, a hardware store, a bath house and the blue Pacific Ocean. An era that was quieter, slower and a lot less stressful. And as for Real Estate prices? Cheap. Common asking prices ran a mere $250 to $400 per lot, depending on the location. Maybe it was a lot of money at the time, but still relatively pretty darn inexpensive for beach property. The city dwellers of Los Angeles would make the trek by Model-T Ford or by train to their summertime beach escape. Now nearly a century later, the trend is back. The increase in 2nd home buying in Manhattan Beach has continued to grow in the last 10 years. Nowadays, however, they are not likely coming from South Central Los Angeles, but from the West Side, the Valley, and many from even as far as Arizona; coming to discover a relaxing and much cooler escape. The walk streets are one of the biggest draws to the popularity of the Sand Section. If this isnt already your home, you can only imagine that it is like living in an era gone by. Picture stepping outside your front door and there is not a car in sight; just a pedestrian or two and kids playing in the street. Its reminiscent of the 1950s where kids played outside and neighbors were, well ... neighborly. Whether you are living on the South end flat walk-streets most sought after by families where kids can congregate outside with their friends and avoid the traffic, or you are residing West of Highland where you can often enjoy panoramic vistas from Malibu to Palos Verdes to Catalina Island and beyond, or your on the North End allowing you to shorten your commute to the city, the walk-streets are a luxury offered to very few people in the world. As many residents will tell you, its like being on vacation 365 days a year. It is a place where you can park your car on Friday after work and have to drive again until the 7am commute back to reality on Monday morning. Walking has been re-invented in the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach: walking to breakfast, lunch and dinner is the norm, as is catching an evening stroll down The Strand to admire the latest sunset. Whoever invented the walk-streets of Manhattan Beach certainly had vision and I am sure today he (or she) is smiling down at the locals. Locals who have been blessed with Real Estate values that have beat the test of time. Even today, Sand Knowing each pocket of walk-streets is essential to properly pricing a Sand Section home. When valuing Real Estate in the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach, there is no question it is one of the most unique markets in the Country. There are so many variables when it comes to accurately pricing or valuing a property it could drive a high level rocket scientist into a tizzy. To better understand the list of variables I have provided a list of questions that must be answered before pin-pointing a true value. Even if you think you can figure it out, there is nothing more accurate than the market itself. The marketplace is the final determining factor of value. The real value of a property is what it closes escrow at. That is assuming it was properly exposed to the marketplace and not just simply sold to a relative or similar type event. Section properties are maintaining value and desirability. You can still expect to pay nearly $3 million for a South facing tear down West of Highland Avenue, and if you dream to own on the finest of all walk streets, The Strand you better be prepared to pony up well over $3 million: matter of fact, as of yesterday, there is one owner asking $30 million for his bit of ocean front Real Estate. If you dont own yet here yet, I would recommend to run, dont walk, as rumor has it there are no plans slated for any more ocean front or ocean close Real Estate in Manhattan Beach anytime soon.

WALK STREET MASTERPIECE 409 20TH ST | $2,799,000
What makes this one of the most desired walk-streets in Manhattan Beach? First of all , it is just about 4 or 5 blocks to the downtown area which makes it an easy walk or bike ride to breakfast lunch or dinner. Additionally, this home is East of Highland, which offers several distinct advantages. One is that it is very easily accessible to Live Oak Park which allows for guests to find coveted parking near the property. This walk-street is sloped, which helps improve the view corridors. Also being East of Highland, it will save you a million dollars or more. If it were West of Highland, you could pay this much just for a tear down. Combine all of these factors with the design of one of the premier architects, Pat Killen, you also get a great floor-plan and pristine property condition. You may have just found the sweet spot right here in Manhattan Beach.
