215 Exeter Street Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn

Gen kèk kay ki dekore. Sa a se yon kay ki bati pou kenbe.

Gen kay ou achte, e gen kay ki chanje fason yon moun viv, resevwa, pwoteje, ak ki jan yo sonje li. Nan Manhattan Beach, kote veritab entimite ra e kalite sa a prèske enposib pou rekree, 215 Exeter Street fè pati dezyèm kategori a.

Ki gen plis pase 11,000 pye kare andedan ak plis pase 5,000 pye kare deyò sou kat nivo fini, sa a se yon pwopriyete prive ki te fèt sou senk ane ak yon nivo pèmanans ki prèske pa janm wè nan konstriksyon rezidansyèl. Fè ak asye. Konstwi ak konkret. Izole akodikman. Bati ak disiplin ki anjeneral rezève pou achitekti eritaj.

Sa a se pa yon lux dekoratif. Se yon lux estriktirèl.

Ou santi diferans lan nan pòt la. Arive a gen pwa. Pwopòsyon yo se gwo, materyèl yo ra, ak atmosfè a pote fòmèl yon rezidans prive Ewopeyen. Marbre, oniks, kouvèti mi soie, travay fè koutim, plafon ki monte, ak kornich orne kreye yon kay ki fèt pa pou tandans, men pou prezans.

Nivo prensipal la fèt pou fè fèt nan echèl. Sa a se etaj kote dine tounen okazyon, kote envite yo sonje chanm nan, echèl la, ak santiman an nan rive nan yon kote ki enpòtan. Yon sal k ap viv ak yon chemine gaz, kouvèti mi soie sou fè, ak yon akwaryom sèl dlo 6 x 5 dramatik etabli ton an. Yon sal manje fòmèl ki fasil akomode 16 a 20 envite. Biwo a ak bibliyotèk la, ame ak mèb ak kabinèt Asnaghi Interiors, ofri yon ekspresyon plis entim nan ladrès ansyen mond lan.

Kizin nan kontinye menm balans la ant grandè ak fonksyon. Ankò pa yon enstalasyon Neff koutim, yon fou La Cornue senk-bruleur ak fèy chodyè, aparèy Viking, sifas oniks jòn, fini marbre, doub refwadisman, ti peyi frizè siplemantè, depo pantry, ak filtraj dlo kizin dedye, li te fèt pou itilizasyon serye san konpwomi bote.

Dezyèm nivo a sèvi kòm etaj pou chanm dòmi prensipal la, ak chak chanm dòmi ki ofri aksè a yon teras prive. Suite prensipal la okipe pwòp zòn li, konplè ak kouvèti mi soie ak placard ki mache pou li ak pou li. Li santi li mwens tankou yon chanm dòmi e plis tankou yon rezidans prive nan rezidans lan. Twalèt ki nan tout etaj dòmi yo ekipe ak aparèy Victoria + Albert, Lefroy Brooks, Sherle Wagner, ak TOTO, yo chwazi san okenn kòt oswa konpwomi.

Nivo atik la ajoute de chanm dòmi siplemantè, yon chanm pou staf, yon chanm jwèt, yon twalèt konplè, ak de teras, kreye espas prive fleksib pou envite, rekreyasyon, oswa rete pwolonje. Planche an bwa solid ak desen enkruste kontinye estanda ladrès kay la atravè nivo ki pi wo a.

Nivo ki pi ba a se yon retrèt prive konplètman reyalize. Yon sinema ki izole akodikman, yon jimnastik konplè, yon chanm masaj, yon sauna komèsyal ak yon chofaj 16-kilowatt, yon douch sauna prive, yon bar mouye ak oniks ki ap limen, yon cellar diven ki gen tanperati kontwole pou plis pase 300 boutèy, yon twalèt konplè, yon twalèt pou pousyè, blanchisaj, ak depo kreye yon nivo byennèt ak amizman ki ra nan yon rezidans prive Brooklyn.

Dehors, pwopriyete a tounen yon resort prive ki kache nan Brooklyn. Yon pisin sèl dlo chofe ki mezire apeprè 38 x 17 pye, spa chofe tout ane, cabana deyò, kizin deyò konplè, douch ak beny deyò, travay ak wòch chofe ak chemen, miray wòl sou, sistèm son ekstèryè, ak de pòt ki mobil konplete teren an ak intimite, konfò, ak kontwòl.

Apre sa, gen pati a ki pifò kay pa gen: enjenyè a.

Fondasyon konkret ki vide, planche, ak mi. Fondasyon asye ranfòse. Mi ki doub-stade pou separasyon akodik. Izolasyon boufoam tout kote. Planche chofe radyan tout kay la ak deyò. Zòn HVAC separe nan chak r

215 Exeter Street Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn

Some homes are decorated. This one was built to endure.

There are houses you buy, and there are houses that change the way a person lives, hosts, protects, and is remembered. In Manhattan Beach, where true privacy is rare and this kind of scale is nearly impossible to recreate, 215 Exeter Street belongs to the second category.

Spanning over 11,000 interior square feet and over 5,000 exterior square feet across four finished levels, this private estate was crafted over five years with a level of permanence almost never seen in residential construction. Steel-framed. Concrete-constructed. Acoustically insulated. Built with the kind of discipline usually reserved for legacy architecture.

This is not decorative luxury. It is structural luxury.

You feel the difference at the door. The arrival has weight. The proportions are grand, the materials are rare, and the atmosphere carries the formality of a private European residence. Marble, onyx, silk wall coverings, custom ironwork, soaring ceilings, and ornate moldings create a home designed not for trend, but for presence.

The main level is built for entertaining at scale. This is the floor where dinners become occasions, where guests remember the room, the scale, and the feeling of arriving somewhere that matters. A gracious living room with gas fireplace, bespoke silk wall coverings, and a dramatic 6 x 5 saltwater aquarium sets the tone. A formal dining room easily accommodates 16 to 20 guests. The office and library, appointed with Asnaghi Interiors furnishings and cabinetry, offers a more intimate expression of old-world craftsmanship.

The kitchen continues the same balance of grandeur and function. Anchored by a custom Neff installation, a La Cornue five-burner stove with pot filler, Viking appliances, yellow onyx slab surfaces, marble finishes, double refrigeration, additional freezer drawers, pantry storage, and dedicated kitchen water filtration, it was designed for serious use without compromising beauty.

The second level serves as the primary bedroom floor, with every bedroom offering private terrace access. The primary suite occupies its own wing, complete with silk wall coverings and his-and-hers walk-in closets. It feels less like a bedroom and more like a private residence within the residence. Bathrooms throughout the bedroom floors are appointed with Victoria + Albert, Lefroy Brooks, Sherle Wagner, and TOTO fixtures, selected without shortcut or compromise.

The attic level adds two additional bedrooms, a staff room, a playroom, a full bathroom, and two terraces, creating flexible private space for guests, recreation, or extended stays. Solid wood floors with inlaid design continue the home's standard of craftsmanship through the uppermost level.

The lower level is a fully realized private retreat. An acoustically isolated home theater, full gym, massage room, commercial-grade sauna with a 16-kilowatt heater, private sauna shower, wet bar with backlit onyx, temperature-controlled wine cellar for 300+ bottles, full bathroom, powder room, laundry, and storage create a wellness and entertainment level rarely found in a private Brooklyn residence.

Outside, the estate becomes a private resort hidden within Brooklyn. A heated saltwater pool measuring approximately 38 x 17 feet, year-round heated spa, outdoor cabana, full outdoor kitchen, exterior shower and bath, heated stonework and walkways, limestone fencing, exterior sound system, and two motorized gates complete the grounds with privacy, comfort, and control.

Then there is the part most homes do not have: the engineering.

Poured concrete foundation, floors, and walls. Reinforced steel frame. Double-studded walls for acoustic separation. Foam insulation throughout. Radiant heated flooring throughout the entire home and exterior. Separate HVAC zones in every r
