TONY’S BLOG “Off Market” or “Coming Soon” are truly the buzz words in the South Bay Real Estate market these days. You’ll see it throughout the pages of South Bay Digs and there is VERY GOOD reason to pay attention. In fact, we reviewed all the sales of single family homes in the Beach Cities and show over 10% of the 163 transactions performed in the month of June were completed even before they went on the market and July is trending even higher. Networking in this business is truly crucial so if you’re searching to buy or considering a discrete sale of a property at market value, I can’t think of a better time to contact a well connected agent within the community.

By 1835, San Pedro had become the most important port on the Pacific Coast. Because of shallow water and mud flats, ships had to drop anchor about a mile off shore, and small boats would then transfer passengers and cargo ashore. These would often capsize, spilling both passengers and cargo into the muddy water. During this time, the Sepulveda family built a crude dock and landing at the base of cliffs near present day Fourteenth and Beacon Streets in San Pedro, which became known as Sepulveda Landing. Two major geographical features of San Pedro Harbor at this time were Deadman’s Island (which was later dredged and became part of the current breakwater) and Rattlesnake Island (which later became Terminal Island). Rattlesnake Island was known as such because it was home to a large population of rattlesnakes who migrated down the Los Angeles River. The name was changed to Terminal Island by the railroad company because of the terminus of the rail line established there. In 1851, 21 year old Phineas Banning arrived in San Pedro from Philadelphia. Banning, and his

partner, George Alexander, soon began operating a stagecoach service from San Pedro. When

August Timm’s bought the Sepulveda Landing, early in 1852, Banning was concerned (Sepulveda Landing then became known as “Timm’s Landing”). When word came from Washington that San Pedro would soon be declared an official port of entry

with its own customhouse, Banning negotiated to buy a tract of land from the Sepulvedas, located near Timm’s Landing, and promptly built his own wharf. In November 1854, Banning and a group of investors (J.G Downey, Don Benito Wilson, and William Sanford) purchased 2,400 acres adjacent to San Pedro, for port expansion. This land later became the city of Wilmington, after Banning’s Delaware birthplace. In the late 1860’s Banning realized that for San Pedro Harbor to become a center of commerce, that three things needed to be accomplished: Building a railroad, constructing a break water, and dredging the harbor to accommodate large ships and to allow them to dock directly at the wharfs. In October 1869, construction was completed on the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad, Southern California’s first railroad. On March 2, 1871, Congress voted an appropriation for construction of a rock jetty from the lower end of Rattlesnake Island to Dead Man’s Island. In 1872, the Southern Pacific Railroad agreed to run their railroad through Los Angeles and purchased the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad. In 1881, they built an extension of the Los Angeles and San
www.SouthBayDigs.com
Pedro railroad across the Wilmington Lagoon on pilings to a point near Timm’s Point, thus enabling direct railroad access to the deep water wharf. Phineas Banning died in 1882, but his dream of making San Pedro a major port of entry to the United States would soon be realized.

THE THE
SURF SURF FESTIVAL FESTIVAL BY DENISE KANO
SOMETHING AWESOME FOR EVERYONE Dwight Crum’s Legacy Dwight Crum started as a part-time lifeguard in the South Bay around the time of World War II, until he went off to USC. After graduating, he became a permanent lifeguard and quickly rose through the ranks, as in those days, lifeguards did not have college degrees, unlike today. Crum quickly went from lifeguard to lieutenant to captain, in charge of all the South Bay beaches. “In 1962, my dad and the cities and chambers of Redondo, Hermosa, and Manhattan, decided to start the International Surf Festival,” says Gary Crum, Retired Southern Section Lifeguard Chief. “He was the first chairman, for about 20 years.” This first committee had almost no commercial sponsorship for the event – it was hosted primarily by the cities and chambers of commerce. Dwight Crum and his committee concluded that the best time to hold the lifeguard events was at night, since during the day many of the lifeguards were working. Old diesel lights were brought in to illuminate the ocean for these nighttime events, providing a dramatic atmosphere. (Today there are more high-tech lights, similar to those used in the movie industry.) Dwight Crum always started the Pier-to-Pier Swim, and always wore his favorite straw hat while doing so. In those early days the swim had approximately 300 participants. “Dad would often start the race and then jump into the race,” says Crum. “He swam the race every year until he was 72 years old.” When Dwight Crum retired in 1972, the swim was renamed the Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim, in honor of his contributions to the event. When he passed away, the race continued on in his name, as did the tradition of the race being started by a Crum family member wearing Dwight’s favorite straw hat. “It’s our family tradition to have someone in our family wear that hat and start the race, to carry on my dad’s legacy,” says Crum. The Pier-to-Pier Swim now has over 1,000 participants and is one of the most anticipated events of the weeklong festival.
For the 51st year, this anticipated annual event promotes four of the South Bay beach cities: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. Three of the most well-known events are the Judge Taplin Lifeguard Medley Relay, the colorful Charley Saikley 6-Man Volleyball Tournament, and the Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim.
International Surf Festival Schedule of Events Tuesday, July 31 & Wednesday, August 1 9:00 a.m. Charlie Saikley Volleyball Tournament - Manhattan Beach Pier. 6-Man / 6-Woman.

Lifeguarding – A Tight Fraternity “L.A. County lifeguards average over 10,000 rescues a year, and the South Bay tends to have a large percentage of them,” says Crum. “The job requires you to be in good physical condition in order to be successful at it. It’s a tight fraternity of people who work together, surf together, and hang out together on their days off.” Crum recalls his dad having Tuesdays and Wednesdays off because the beach was busier on the weekends. “My whole upbringing was raised around the beach,” says Crum. “It’s not a bad way to grow up. And dad did a huge amount to professionalize the lifeguard service. He and others of that era turned it into a wonderful career opportunity. Following in those footsteps was a pretty easy decision.” The L.A. County Lifeguard Medal of Valor Dinner takes place on Thursday, August 2, at the Seaside Lagoon. This is a great opportunity to honor those who work tirelessly to keep our beaches safe.

The Junior Lifeguard program has over 2400 participants.

This ultimate California pool and view house makes the most of its fantastic day and “sea of light” night views with extensive use of glass, including large walk-out sliders in the living room. A complete list of this property’s many amenities will be provided upon request.
The morning sun kisses this magnificent Martyr’s Hill home as the light shines into the breakfast nook and onto the backyard, complete with over the top custom pool, spa and covered cabana. In the afternoon, sunsets favor the front entertainer’s deck with oversized cast stone fireplace and northwest views. Outdoor dining is perfect by the pool next to the outdoor kitchen and on the center courtyard deck. Although the outdoor space is unmatchable in this area, the inside of the home is what really impresses. Designed by Louis Tomaro and built by his brother Rick Tomaro, this iconic home is rich and bold. Whoever purchases this home will no doubt cherish the features that you just don’t find in many homes. In addition to the three separate outdoor living areas, there are ocean views from the upper back deck and the master suite. Upgraded amenities include a custom media room, a wine taster’s cellar, a butler’s pantry and a four-car garage with built-in storage. High-end custom finishes throughout, including marble to wood to granite to limestone. Custom window coverings, wall covering and lighting also adorn this home and need to be seen to appreciate. Finally, as it is said that everything about a home can be changed except the location, this premiere A++ location is so close to downtown Manhattan and the beach, that you won’t be disappointed.

CLOUD TEN
807 ESPLANADE, REDONDO BEACH
125 34TH STREET, MANHATTAN BEACH
Ocean Front estate perched high on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean from Catalina to Malibu. This magnificent property evokes emotion and excitement with unparalleled views of the sea life, coastline, beach activity and sunsets from every room in the home. Inspired by the Inn at Santa Marina on Mykonos, the home offers 4 bedrooms (all private suites), 4.5 baths, 3 fireplaces and 3,525 sq. ft. of total living space. Providing the perfect floor plan for entertaining and everyday living, the homes exudes luxury on every level boasting five star materials and amenities such as cherry floors, teak & alder doors, copper windows, floor to ceiling carrera marble, limestone, travertine and exotic granite. A very rare opportunity to acquire 50 feet of ocean frontage and live in a masterfully designed home which creates new memories every hour of every day
The upper level at this Cloud 10 address is mesmerizing and possibly transforming if you look at the view long enough. “It’s like ‘Satisfaction.’ You just dream it, and suddenly it’s all in your hands.” (from pg. 277, Life, Keith Richards) It can be a moment in one’s life where inspiration is achieved and action is taken, because the uninterrupted and dreamy panoramic ocean views go from north to south, right to left and beyond. Even at a modest 4,389 sf, the home has the presence of a mansion on Manhattan Avenue and an exclusive beach house from 34th Street. The 12-foot entry level ceiling is like walking into home in West Palm Beach but better, because the surf is optimal in California. There are three ocean view decks, one of which is the master suite’s, and a walkstreet patio that is built higher to maximize the white water view. This home is well-built with all amenities expected in a 4K plus square foot home, including a 4-car garage.

MODERN ZEN: MANHATTAN BEACH HOME FUSES TECHNOLOGY AND TRANQUILITY
photography by paul jonason
BY PAMELA CORANTE-HANSEN
T
here’s no better cure for a long commute than a meditation room, steam showers, and a hammock on the veranda. IT professional Kavian Maghzy doesn’t need to book ahead to enjoy these spa resort amenities. They are just a few of the stressreducing elements in his Manhattan Beach home. Maghzy elevates tranquil living to an art form in the 4,700-square-foot retreat he shares with his 16-year-old daughter. Maghzy, who works for a company in Irvine, had lived in Encino and was making the grueling drive almost daily. During this period, he would occasionally spend time in Manhattan Beach, growing to love the area and the calming effect of the ocean so much that he moved his family there in 2002. At that time, the contemporary home he bought was fairly new and suited his family’s needs. Several years later, his neighbor mentioned that he was considering a remodel, and Maghzy found himself feeling apprehensive about living adjacent to a major construction project. But things changed within a matter of weeks. The neighbor accepted a job in New York, and Maghzy decided to buy his house. Thus began the project of connecting two homes on back-to-back lots. “When I bought my neighbor’s property, I still wasn’t thinking about construction,” Maghzy says. A native of Iran, he describes how his father had built a sprawling dream home there, only to lose it during the revolution. “It was such a huge project and it had such a negative ending that I thought I’d never want to go through that again.” Maghzy recalls feeling overwhelmed at the thought of launching a home construction
56
SouthBayDigs.com | 7.27.2012
project of his own, but, as he notes, “Things happen, I ran into [architect] Louie Tomaro, and it clicked.” Maghzy worked closely with Manhattan Beach interior designer Julie Gelsey of Interior Inspirations. “The house became like a drug!” Gelsey exclaims with a laugh as she describes how both she and Maghzy were absorbed by the remodel. “We talked almost every day, but it never got crazy.” From the spacious and open third-floor living room, one can see into a gleaming kitchen, which flows into a formal dining room. Maghzy’s home office is visible beyond the dining room. “The kitchen is the bridge between the two houses,” explains Gelsey. Rooms flow seamlessly into one another, making it difficult to imagine that, in essence, new living space was built to connect the two back-to-back homes. Pocket doors disappear into walls and can be pulled out to create separate spaces, or left open when Maghzy entertains. Given Maghzy’s professional background, the home is equipped with high-tech features that provide comfort, convenience and visual appeal, but take nothing away from the home’s calm, serene aesthetic. Window treatments can be controlled by remote, and the house is wired extensively with a home automation package that enables Maghzy to control a sophisticated sound system through his smart phone, adjusting the volume in any room and selecting tracks. In addition, he can turn on the swimming pool, security system and lights with his smart phone.
“I added more stuff to the system,” Maghzy remarks. “It does have its own headaches, but my background is in technology, so it’s easier for me to get it going. There’s even music in the steam shower, and it can be remote-controlled.” Throughout the house, a harmonious fusion of technology and natural elements contributes to the peaceful vibe. Fire ribbons, sleek fireplaces built into the wall, can be turned on with a smart phone, creating warmth and visual interest in the master bedroom. A two-way fire ribbon between Maghzy’s office and the dining room is mounted into the wall at about the same level one would hang a painting, creating a striking balance between art and the practical. “Kavian leads a more spiritual life,” Gelsey explains. “He does yoga, he mediates, so we incorporated a lot of fire, rock and water references to keep it calm and very Zen.” These three elements give the home a grounded feeling and juxtapose the modernity of the design with the natural world of the beach, just steps away. Brazilian cherry wood floors, travertine tile and stone countertops serve as the basic color palette of the residence—warm earth tones and light sand. Smooth, natural stones are arranged in a ring around the base of the master spa tub, evoking a high-end spa or a pebbly shoreline. Gelsey and Maghzy used textiles and natural fibers to add softness. Hammocks on the wraparound thirdfloor porch and a patchwork animal skin rug in the living room soften the angularity of the modern design. To draw in light and create a sense of airiness, the inner wall of the stairwell is made of glass. As one climbs the stairs from the entry to the top level, a colorful, blown-glass chandelier hung from the third-floor ceiling provides a lively contrast to the muted color scheme.
“We didn’t want it to be so modern that it didn’t feel human.” Texture is another design element that adds character throughout the home. The kitchen features a stone countertop with a leathered surface, giving it a subtle rippled feeling. This rustic earthiness adds a counterbalance to the sleek wooden cabinets and a decidedly modern, stainless steel tile backsplash that changes appearance with the shifting light of the day. While the upper floor is perfect for entertaining, the two lower levels are designed as a rejuvenating haven from the fast pace of modern living. The home’s construction is such that the second-floor bedrooms are protected from the buzz of beach traffic and the sound of children playing in the park directly facing the master bedroom. On the ground floor, a bedroom is used as a meditation room with shoji-like pocket doors that can be closed or left open. Maghzy uses the room to practice yoga or engage in quiet reflection. A hallway runs past the meditation room and leads to the home’s most unexpected amenity—an indoor grotto with a pool. Technology makes a cameo appearance here in the form of an automated, adjustable current pool that allows for an intense workout by swimming in place against the current. But the space looks less like an exercise room and more like a tranquil retreat. One wall is made entirely of stone with built-in niches that house lighting fixtures resembling white wax candles. Rectangular, mosaic glass tiles in varying shades of blue line the inside of the pool, bringing the colors of the ocean indoors. The pool features a self-cleaning ionization system, eliminating the need for—and the odor of—harsh chemicals. On the poolside deck, a cabinet decorated with crushed seashells looks like the kind of piece one would find at an estate sale on the island of Capri. Carrying the theme is an exotic capiz shell lamp placed atop the cabinet. “My mom got it in Egypt in 1967, and it’s been with the family forever,” Maghzy says of the lamp. “It really works in here.” Despite the technological comforts, Maghzy notes that one of his favorite things about the home is the ocean view. “I never get tired of it.” He adds that the natural elements provide an essential touch to the house’s contemporary design. “We didn’t want it to be so modern that it didn’t feel human.”

The Saint of ROCK N’ ROLL BY QUINN ROBERTS
When Saint Rocke opened its doors a little less than five years ago, right on the corner of 2nd Street and PCH in Hermosa Beach, it wasn’t without some grand plans.
With everyone from Toots and the Maytals to Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes taking the stage at Sainte Rocke, Sanford and the other owners strive to get an eclectic

Hoping to bring live music back to the South Bay, Saint Rocke is committed to having bands play at the venue six nights a week.

TOTAL TRANSPARENC Y With the rates that we offer, there is nothing to hide. We provide our clients honest answers, sound advice and exclusive programs.
Recent Client Testimonial: Having done about 30 real estate transactions, including 4 this year, Regan helped me with my most recent acquisition. I was put in touch with Regan through my realtor and he was exceptional in handling the process, if not the best I’ve ever worked with. He truly has a deep understanding of all the different and changing nuances that go into the loan process and he was realistic in setting expectations. The loan process completed on time, without any surprises and I definitely look forward to working with him on my next transaction. - Chris - Hermosa Beach
Welcome to Watermark: Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasn’t had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that I’ve gained the trust and respect of my clients. In today’s market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal. Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and find out why Watermark is right for you.
