From the moment 835 17th Street comes into sight, you take notice.

As is the case with Spanish Revival homes, the exterior of 835 17th Street is characterized by stucco, wood trim, a curved clay-tile roof and arched windows and doors. From top to bottom, the craftsmanship inside this Tree Section home speaks of incredible attention to detail. It boasts six bedrooms and five and one-half bathrooms, including a master suite with a balcony, a fireplace and not one, but two walk-in closets. The master bath is extremely spacious and features his and her sinks, custom stone countertops, heated floors and a spa tub. The shared spaces have a welcoming flow, with the great room opening up to a sizeable, one-of-a-kind gourmet kitchen. Here, a breakfast nook and large center island are joined by custom cabinetry, granite
countertops and high-end appliances, including a six-burner range, three ovens and a warming drawer. The high ceilings’ exposed beams are complemented by walnut hardwood flooring, while the recessed lighting is enhanced by an abundance of windows that let sunlight inside. This is not the only level made for entertaining, however, as the enormous basement comes complete with a wine room, large built-in media center and lovely bar. Back on the main level, French doors open to an awe-inspiring and vast backyard oasis. Soak in the spectacular saltwater pool or or spa, or lounge in pergola-covered social area. After you swim up an appetite, take advantage of the built-in barbeque and return to the social area to dine around the gas fire pit and enjoy the peaceful fountains. 835 17th Street has so much to offer, both inside and out, and its central location in Manhattan Beach only sweetens the deal.

COMMUNITY
Larry Wolf, former broker and co-owner of Shorewood Realtors, has long lived in and given back to the South Bay. True members of the community, he and his wife, Lynn, were recently recognized by the Richstone Family Center for exemplifying Richstone’s mission of “service beyond self ” in their commitment to furthering child welfare. We applaud their service, and sat down with Larry to discuss real estate, his predictions for the market, and his inspiration for giving back.
You started out as an aeronautical engineer before switching to real estate. What was the impetus for the change? Living in the South Bay, it was impossible not to be interested in real estate. Even though I was working full time in engineering, I decided to take a night course to learn more about the real estate business and ended up taking the state exam and getting my license. From there, I became a part-time agent and after three months I loved it so much, I quit my engineering job and the rest is history. That was in 1971 and I never looked back. It’s been a great career and I feel blessed that things turned out so well.
make a large contribution to schools from El Segundo to Palos Verdes. We are very proud to be able to help.
And now you have an impressive 44 years of experience in South Bay real estate. How has the local landscape changed in that time? hear people complain about overbuilding and traffic, but in my mind, the South Bay is still a great place to live and work, so I guess for me it doesn’t feel like it’s changed that much. Compared to other communities in Southern California, I wouldn’t consider anywhere else.
You and your wife, Lynn, were recently honored at the Richstone Family Center’s twentieth annual “An Affair of the Heart Gala.” (Congratulations on that, by the way.) You’re also on the Richstone Board of Directors. How and why did you decide to become involved with Richstone? We’ve always been involved in various charities but Richstone has become our main focus. I was asked to join the Board 10 years ago and the more active I became with the center, the more impressed I was with the work they do and how many lives they touch in a positive way. It’s a great organi ation and, like all non-profits, needs support from the community it serves. Lynn and I are honored to be recognized at this year’s fundraiser.
Looking ahead, what do you see for the South Bay real estate market in the next 5 or 10 years? The South Bay will always be an active and dynamic market. We have a great school system, safe streets, clean air and amazing beaches. The 105 Freeway allows people to work downtown or on the Westside with a reasonable commute. We are no longer a “well kept secret.”
PHOTOS COURTESY OF RICHSTONE FAMILY CENTER
As former co-owner of Shorewood Realtors, you no doubt influenced the company’s philanthropic efforts. Why the desire to give back to the community on a corporate level? It’s so important to be involved in the community. Over the years, Shorewood agents have supported many worthy causes. Our main focus as a company has been the South Bay schools and every year we have
Shorewood’s tagline is “Experience the Difference.” What does this slogan mean to you? We take great pride in the reputation Shorewood has built in the 46 years we’ve been in business. Our agents are well trained and committed professionals and work hard to keep us number one. Roger Herman, the new owner of Shorewood, shares the same philosophy and will carry on in that tradition.
Is there anything else you would like to add about the Richstone Family Center, Shorewood, or the South Bay? Life is good and we just need to keep doing what we can to keep it that way. That means continuing to help those less fortunate, to the best of our ability. We should all live by the Rotary motto “service above self,” and that applies in real estate as it does on a philanthropic level.
The Richstone Family Center For over forty years, the Richstone Family Center has thrived in its mission to prevent and treat child abuse and trauma, to educate families, and to diminish violence in families, schools and communities. n ust three years after its incorporation as a non-profit social service agency the Richstone Family Center was recognized by the State as one of the original six child abuse treatment and prevention programs in California. Today, Richstone’s staff has grown from six to an impressive 135, while its geographic reach has expanded from Hawthorne to include the southwest corner of Los Angeles County and the greater South Bay. On Saturday, March 21, the Richstone Family Center held its twentieth annual “An Affair of the Heart Gala.” This year’s event had a Greek theme and, accordingly, featured gourmet Greek catering from Petros Restaurant along with complimentary wine tastings from Bristol Farms. The event’s proceeds, which come from a combination of individual contributions, corporate sponsorships and silent and live auction, allow Richstone to continue serving the community’s at-risk and abused children and families. The gala reached capacity at over 350 guests, making a huge success not only for Richstone, but for all of the children and families it serves.
