CONtENtS

By maureen megoWan / re/max Palos Verdes execs

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 Dominguez’s 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.

mapofranchoSanpedrowhichoriginallyincludedrancholospalosVerdes.

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 Jose’s 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 uncle’s 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.

118 NORTH LARCHMONT BOULEVARDLOS ANGELES, CA 90004

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 Koenig’s 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

today’s 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.

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

FAST FACTS

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.

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 wasn’t 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 isn’t 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. It’s 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, it’s 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

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 don’t own yet here yet, I

would recommend to run, don’t 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.

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.

A list of 57 factors that correctly determine Sand Section pricing is available at www.SandSectionEd.com.
