Your Own Private Beach....

Tony’s BlogI’ll freely admit that I’m nerd when it comes to technology and one could easily make that assumption when you walk into my Riviera

office where we have several terminals set up with the latest Apple computers amongst other techy toys. Whereas there is a level of

acceptance with my inner McFly, I am rather embarrassed about how excited I get when a new iPhone is released. If you’ve ever had a

chance to watch an Apple keynote (and I don’t suppose many of you do..), viewers are witness to an extremely methodical yet simplistic

message by the world’s largest company. Although smart phones have the ability to be extremely intimidating, Apple delivers the

message by exploiting the emotion of users and the ultimately the movement of a society. Playing on emotions can be easily construed

as a taboo way to conduct advertising however if you’ve ever heard the reaction a Buyer or Seller makes when they’ve got the news about

their deal, you’re soon to realize it all about emotions.

the best agent we have

worked with. He is attentive,

OCEAN TRAILS / TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF COURSEBY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES

In the 1950’s, Edward Zuckerman, with a partner, purchased a sloping 150 acre garbanzo

bean field rising up from the cliffs of the ocean on the Palos Verdes Peninsula adjacent to San

Pedro. In 1970, Ken Zuckerman’s father had tried to build on his farmland 1,200 apartment

units, a 200-room resort hotel, and a nine-hole golf course. This massive planned development

prompted the formation of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The new government placed a

moratorium on development, then downzoned the Zuckerman’s property to require that all

new homes be built on one-acre lots. Based on these restrictions, it didn’t make sense to build,

so the Zuckerman’s sat on their property until 1989, when Ed Zuckerman’s sons, Ken and Bob,

with a partner, formed a joint venture for an additional 100 acres from developer Barry Hon to

accumulate a total of approx. 260 acres, with close to two miles of ocean frontage.

The Zuckerman family spent years working with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and

various environmental groups to create a plan which would provide native sagebrush habitat

for a rare bird, the California gnat-catcher. The plan was initially approved in 1994, however

construction was delayed by years of lawsuits by environmental groups. The Zuckerman

brothers created a new limited partnership in 1997, buying out Barry Hon. Development of

the Ocean Trails Golf Course finally began in 1998. Ultimately, out of the Zuckerman’s 260

acres, 75 were devoted to 75 home sites. The golf course is built on 100 acres (compared

with 150 for a typical course), but 20 of those were required to be covered with regrown

sagebrush. 105 acres were reserved for sagebrush, public parks, or pathways.

Unfortunately, on June 2, 1999, just before its scheduled July 2nd opening, a large portion

(approx. 17 acres) of the cliff-top 18th fairway slipped towards the ocean creating a huge

chasm. The project, which had been originally budgeted for $126 million, required another

$61 million to repair the land slide damage (paid for by insurance proceeds). For months, the

course operated on a temporary basis as a 15 hole course.

The property was then tied up in various lawsuits, including a claim by Zuckerman that

a water line running under the property had burst, causing the land slide, however another

potential cause was discovered, that an ancient landslide, previously undetected, may

have been the cause of the land slide. Ultimately, the Zuckerman’s were forced to declare

bankruptcy, and the property was taken over by Credit Suisse , the lender on the property, in

February 2002. In August 2002, Donald Trump acquired the Ocean Trails project for a reported

$27 million. Subsequently, Trump

made substantial improvements.

The course finally opened as an

18 hole course on January 20,

2006. Including the money Trump

has invested in the course and

the original investment by the

Zuckerman family, the project has

expended in excess of a reported

$300 million, clearly making the

course the most expensive golf

course ever constructed.

OCEAN TRAILS / TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF COURSEBY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES

In the 1950’s, Edward Zuckerman, with a partner, purchased a sloping 150 acre garbanzo

bean field rising up from the cliffs of the ocean on the Palos Verdes Peninsula adjacent to San

Pedro. In 1970, Ken Zuckerman’s father had tried to build on his farmland 1,200 apartment

units, a 200-room resort hotel, and a nine-hole golf course. This massive planned development

prompted the formation of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The new government placed a

moratorium on development, then downzoned the Zuckerman’s property to require that all

new homes be built on one-acre lots. Based on these restrictions, it didn’t make sense to build,

so the Zuckerman’s sat on their property until 1989, when Ed Zuckerman’s sons, Ken and Bob,

with a partner, formed a joint venture for an additional 100 acres from developer Barry Hon to

accumulate a total of approx. 260 acres, with close to two miles of ocean frontage.

The Zuckerman family spent years working with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and

various environmental groups to create a plan which would provide native sagebrush habitat

for a rare bird, the California gnat-catcher. The plan was initially approved in 1994, however

Giovanni Altamura graduated from the University of Southern California in the

spring of 2007 and since then has been working with his father, John Altamura,

in the family’s real estate business.

An avid fan of sports, which he says brings out the best in people, he’s always

been active and competitive. “At USC,” he says, “I was a four-year letterman and

captain of the men’s volleyball team. Being the captain of those teams taught me

the dedication, leadership, and communication skills that I have continued to use

in my business life at South Bay Brokers.”

A lifelong resident of Manhattan Beach, Giovanni Altamura has attended all

of the celebrated public schools in this affluent community including as Pacific

Elementary, Manhattan Beach Intermediate and Mira Costa High School. As such,

he has a vast experience to draw upon when making local Manhattan Beach and

Hermosa Beach real estate decisions.

“Since starting my Real Estate career with South Bay Brokers in 2007, I have

been fortunate enough to see the market in all of its stages, from the peak in 2007

to the bottom in 2008-09. I understand what ‘real value’ is in today’s market. I look

forward to using that experience and knowledge for my future business.”

His father began in real estate in the South Bay in 1986, and Giovanni followed

in his dad’s footsteps. “My real estate interest was sparked back in my sophomore

year of high school,” he remembers. “I saw how much fun he had working in the

town he lived in, all of the people he met and became friends with and the great

stories he would tell me about clients he helped.”

Giovanni Altamura cites the beach, the restaurants, the friendly neighbors

and great people as some of the aspects of the beach cities that draw so many

homeowners. “We are a short distance to LA, the desert, mountains and LAX,”

Giovanni lists. “This is an outdoor community where you are always seeing people

enjoy being outside doing various activities such as surfing, riding your bike along

the Strand, jogging on the Green Belt and swimming in the ocean.”

When asked what the current micro-trends in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa

Beach real estate, Giovanni describes a lack of inventory, surplus of buyers,

multiple offers and all-cash buyers. “Properties are selling within two weeks and in

all price ranges. In addition, spec-build new construction is popping up over town

and pre selling - a true testament to the stability of this market here in Manhattan

and Hermosa Beach.”

Giovanni is excited about his growing clientele and new listings. His new Tree

Section construction will be on the market just as summer officially ends. The

plantation-style home is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathrooms at $2,749,000. “I also have a

gorgeous Hill Section lease available,” he says. “4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms all on

one level with a large bonus room and big ocean views.” Giovanni is also building

12 town-home style units in El Segundo which will be available in the summer

of 2014.

While we know inventory is tight and home values are going up, Giovanni lends

his expertise to this audience by letting us know that the most important thing

people planning on purchasing or selling property in the beach cities should know

is that the market moves very quickly. “You have to be aware most properties

could have multiple offers, and some going over the list price. Having said that, it is

crucial to be pre-approved with a lender. That’s half of the transaction right there!”

n a city as affluent, beautiful, and community-oriented as Redondo Beach, the

Redondo Beach Fisherman’s Wharf and King Harbor embody the traditions and

culture of Southern California’s prosperous coastal towns; they are icons of its coveted

beach lifestyle and small-town heritage. The Fisherman’s Wharf draws millions of visitors

each year, including locals, who consider it one of the premier shopping, dining, and

family destinations on the Southern California coast.

Redondo Beach has long been known as a bustling tourist and resort town. From

its earliest days, visitors would flock from all over the world to visit the marina, while

photographers and painters immortalized it time and again in their artistic odes to

Southern California. In 1956, the King Harbor Marina, named after California Representative

Cecil R. King, was built. The wooden Monstad Pier, built by Captain Hans C. Monstad

to accommodate new shoreline tourist industries like pleasure-boating, soon followed.

The current pier construction was last renovated in 1995, but the reinforced concrete

structure is in the process of undergoing a massive and complete transformation to

accommodate a 21st Century Redondo Beach and its energetic local economy. The

new designs from developer CenterCal include a posh new Shade boutique hotel,

a high-end movie theater, successful and popular chain restaurants, and an improved

two-lane road connecting Torrance Boulevard to Harbor Drive to facilitate bike and foot

traffic. New open spaces with wider sidewalks and a new boardwalk would replace the

current Seaside Lagoon with a free, accessible beach, encouraging visitors to stay longer

and to bring their families.

Today the Redondo Beach Pier is poised to embark on a new era of prosperity with

the investors who share a vision to be a part of the new Redondo Beach Waterfront.

THE PROPERTY Strategically located in the section of King Harbor known as The Monstad Pier, adjacent

to this planned, major redevelopment, includes the former location of the popular

Maison Riz Restaurant, with 6500 sq. ft. of contiguous space on King Harbor, a complete

commercial kitchen and full bar. Restaurant patrons flock to enjoy the stellar sunsets and

crashing whitewater waves visible from the dining room windows. The Maison Riz was

formerly the famous Tony’s Fishmarket Restaurant, owned by the Trutanich Family (the

current owners of the successful Tony’s on the Pier). Tony Trutanich built the property

in 1969 and didn’t sell Tony’s Fishmarket until 2008. Over the years, celebrities and

tourists have filled the dining tables and bar stools. The iconic interiors and exteriors

of the restaurant have been used as sets for reality TV shows and major Hollywood

motion pictures.

An investor has a unique opportunity to lease the former Maison Riz to a new operator

or an owner/user, and to create a new restaurant at this premier and coveted location

with spectacular views from the Palos Verdes Peninsula to Malibu and all the way north

to Point Dume.

The entire property, which runs along the southwest section of King Harbor,

includes 11 trendy shops, offices, and restaurants totaling roughly 17,000 square feet

of potential success.

The current lease structure for existing tenants includes percentage rents paid in addition

to minimum base rents. This significant potential income will increase as the major Pier

renovations boost local economic conditions, property values, and draw tourists and

locals eager to enjoy the upgraded Pier’s new stores, walkways, architecture, and dining.

DETAILS

The Monstad Pier property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Southern

California waterfront asset with historical and cultural significance. The area is on the

brink of an economic boom due to the renovation of King Harbor and the Redondo

Beach Waterfront, making The Monstad Pier property an ideal investment. The owner/

user restaurant prospect in a prime waterfront location on a historic pier is almost

unprecedented in the current beach cities real estate market.

OF THE REDONDO BEACH PIER!

n a city as affluent, beautiful, and community-oriented as Redondo Beach, the

Redondo Beach Fisherman’s Wharf and King Harbor embody the traditions and

culture of Southern California’s prosperous coastal towns; they are icons of its coveted

beach lifestyle and small-town heritage. The Fisherman’s Wharf draws millions of visitors

each year, including locals, who consider it one of the premier shopping, dining, and

family destinations on the Southern California coast.

Redondo Beach has long been known as a bustling tourist and resort town. From

its earliest days, visitors would flock from all over the world to visit the marina, while

photographers and painters immortalized it time and again in their artistic odes to

Southern California. In 1956, the King Harbor Marina, named after California Representative

Cecil R. King, was built. The wooden Monstad Pier, built by Captain Hans C. Monstad

to accommodate new shoreline tourist industries like pleasure-boating, soon followed.

The current pier construction was last renovated in 1995, but the reinforced concrete

structure is in the process of undergoing a massive and complete transformation to

accommodate a 21st Century Redondo Beach and its energetic local economy. The

new designs from developer CenterCal include a posh new Shade boutique hotel,

a high-end movie theater, successful and popular chain restaurants, and an improved

two-lane road connecting Torrance Boulevard to Harbor Drive to facilitate bike and foot

traffic. New open spaces with wider sidewalks and a new boardwalk would replace the

current Seaside Lagoon with a free, accessible beach, encouraging visitors to stay longer

and to bring their families.

Today the Redondo Beach Pier is poised to embark on a new era of prosperity with

the investors who share a vision to be a part of the new Redondo Beach Waterfront.

THE PROPERTY Strategically located in the section of King Harbor known as The Monstad Pier, adjacent

to this planned, major redevelopment, includes the former location of the popular

Maison Riz Restaurant, with 6500 sq. ft. of contiguous space on King Harbor, a complete

commercial kitchen and full bar. Restaurant patrons flock to enjoy the stellar sunsets and

crashing whitewater waves visible from the dining room windows. The Maison Riz was

formerly the famous Tony’s Fishmarket Restaurant, owned by the Trutanich Family (the

Jack Craig

Since he became a designer, Jack Craig has been interested in making pieces

that are transformative.That’s literally the case with the Plugged Stool, where he

heats PVC water mains and then manipulates them down to their raw material,

before converting it into seating.

“I’ve always had an interest in odd, modern materials,” Craig said. “Traditional

materials have been expanded upon. You have more opportunities to create

something unique with unusual materials.”

A one-man operation in his studio in Detroit, Craig begins the process of

creating each stool by gradually heating the PVC with an industrial space heater at

about 230 degrees Fahrenheit. After the PVC becomes pliable, Craig only has a five

minute window to take action and drive a piece of wood into the middle and strap

it down to create the stool. Because of the material Craig is using, no glue is needed

to make sure the wood stays attached to the base. Once it cools and is then leveled

and fine-tuned, the Plugged Stool is ready to be sold.

“It is all about the process and the discovery of what the materials can do,”

Craig said. “It is different every time.”

While Craig is able to make the stool by feel now, one wrong move and a day’s

work could be all for naught. That is why Craig heats the PVC at a low, gradual

temperature no higher than 250 degrees. The PVC base only comes in white, but

customers can choose from walnut, white oak and ash wood on the seat of the

stool, which costs $650. Thanks to its durable and industrial design, the Plugged

Stool has found interested customers across the globe. Getting the most interest in

bigger cities throughout the United States like San Francisco, Chicago and Miami,

Craig also has customers outside the country. They are as close as Canada and

Mexico and as far as Russia.

“Every time I am working in the studio, I think about creating things that will

provoke a reaction,” Craig said. “It should be compelling and handcrafted.”

Life on the Beach,

Manhattan Beach – 2013 certainly has seen some great things happen in the real estate market for both buyers and sellers here in South Bay. With interest rates at historical lows, combined with the recent price drops from 2008, affordability for buyers is at an all-time high. Sellers have seen their properties appreciate as much as 20% over the past year due to the shortage of available homes. Everyone wants to know what’s next!

Ed Kaminsky of the Kaminsky Real Estate Group in Manhattan Beach sat down with two of best loan officers in the South Bay to hear their perspectives on the current and future of the real estate market: Ron Goodlin from Bank of Manhattan, a local bank and lender, and Gary May from Wells Fargo, a local lender from a National Bank.

KAMINSKY Ron, where do you see interest rates going in the next 12-24 months?

GOODLIN I foresee a slight dip in rates of about 1/4 to 3/8 within the next year but then a steady

rise after that. The rates will depend on economic news, i.e. Syria, as well as the Federal government

and how they handle mortgage backed securities.

KAMINSKY It has been stated that the Federal government has identified 200 new rules for

lenders, yet only 80 of them have been implemented. What effect, if any, will it have on borrowers

as these new rules continue to be implemented?

GOODLIN I believe the popular interest-only loans will likely go away over the next year. There is

talk of eliminating Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which could have a compound impact on lending.

KAMINSKY Do you think a third party may come into the marketplace to buy the loans if Fannie

Mae and Freddie Mac go away?

GOODLIN Each of the loans we have been putting through is what we call “A paper”, meaning

they are very high-quality buyers with ample assets, credit , down payment and income. It is very

likely an investment company would and could step up to purchase this type of “paper”.

KAMINSKY If you were speaking to a buyer today and they were debating whether to buy now or save

a few more dollars and buy next year, what would you tell them?

GOODLIN My concerns are that interest-only options are going away, and rates are still at historical lows

and are likely to be higher next year. Buying now is what I am advising to all financially-qualified buyers.

KAMINSKY What, if anything, would you like to say or add that relates to today’s market?

GOODLIN You hear a lot that it is hard to get a loan; the truth is that there are plenty of investors

making loans right now. You do have to provide more paperwork today than before, but with the

rates where they are it is a terrific time to buy and get a new loan.

KAMINSKY Thanks Ron, you are always so insightful, having been through so many ups and

downs in this area. I appreciate your time and the information you have provided to all of us.

KAMINSKY How do you think the current interest market will affect the future of the local real

estate market?

MAY The local market is such a micro-climate that it is not as affected as the larger Los Angeles

market by interest rates, mainly because the loans in the South Bay are typically out of the conform-

ing limits and those interest rates are more stable. Those loans, being larger, are typically more stable

and less risky for banks and therefore rates don’t move quite as much and have less impact on the

expensive areas of town.

KAMINSKY You mentioned that there was going to be a large layoff at Wells Fargo Bank; is that

a sign of things to come?

MAY Wells Fargo did give notice to approximately 2300 employees; most of them are in the

processing positions for loans at the bank and were servicing clients who were refinancing their loans.

With interest rate changes, the volume of refi’s are down. Some of Wells Fargo clients were actually

able to refinance 2 or 3 times over the last couple of years. Loan officers that only focused on refinance

clients do not have the workload they once had. Those like me, that focus on new loans for buyers, have

a more stable position at the bank.

KAMINSKY What is your opinion on whether a buyer should buy or not buy at this time?

MAY There is no time like the present. Even though prices went up recently, they have not reached the

previous high. Interest rates are still substantially lower than they were at the peak. Based on that, it is

more affordable to finance a home today than at the peak. It’s a great time to buy.

KAMINSKY What advice would you give to a home seller right now?

MAY The time seems great based on the low inventory in the market; equity has returned that was lost

to homeowners. It feels like a great time to sell.

KAMINSKY What else would you like to say to a buyer or seller in today’s market?

MAY There is still a lot of money to lend. Wells Fargo is loaning in the non-conforming market right

now. There are more paperwork and questions, but the money is still relatively easy to come by.

KAMINSKY How do you advise buyers or seller to choose their real estate agent?

MAY Two things: it is important that they find out about their agent’s track record to be sure they

have the experience to represent them in this environment of tough negotiations, increased paperwork

and government regulations and the myriad of obstacles that can get in the way of a sale or purchase;

the second is to be sure that the agent has a strong relationship with a lender because the quality

of the lender is as important as the agent in order to get through some very tough transactions today.

KAMINSKY So who would you recommend today?

MAY Just you, Mr. Kaminsky. Actually I am just kidding! There are a number of great agents in the

area, but I would definitely highly recommend you. I have been impressed with how you have handled

your business and your clients since we have been working together.

KAMINSKY Thanks Gary! That is very nice of you to say; thanks for recognizing that. You are not so

bad yourself. And you know what those old time realtors always say: Please God, give me one more good

real estate market, I promise I won’t screw it up. Thanks for educating all of us. Good luck and good rates.

IT MAY TAKE A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD,

but it took a child to get Manhattan Beach architect Stephen Jones to trade an

ocean view for a yard. Shortly after finishing his Master of Architecture degree at UCLA,

Jones and his girlfriend (now wife) moved into a tiny apartment on the Strand,

where the couple fell in love with Manhattan Beach and the coastal lifestyle.

S W E E T D I G S

Jones and his wife crossed Highland and began searching in the Tree Section,

wondering if they could afford even just a small home. The couple stumbled upon

a two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow built in the 1940s, shocked by its small size.

“I thought, no way am I going to live in this tiny house and pay this much,” recalls

Jones. But one look at the backyard and its gnarled pepper trees, and his architect

mind envisioned a tree house for his son.

Looking back, Jones realizes he was in the right place at the right time with

regard to real estate prices. The couple purchased the home for a little over

$400,000, not knowing how much the market would appreciate in a short time.

“We lived in the little house for four years,” relates Jones. “Being an architect,

I tried to convince my wife that we had to do something with it, but she’s the

financially prudent one.” Thinking the real estate market had peaked in 2000, the

couple considered trading up for a bigger home.

“The logic would be to buy the next level up, and try to find something under a

million, but it was someone else’s remodel,” relates Jones. “We’re talking old plans

with rooms added on, totally hacked, and making no architectural sense.” The other

alternative was to buy a brand-new home, but the prices were beyond the couple’s

budget.

For a while they considered selling the home and renting another one, but

Jones wanted to stay. He describes his almost comical attempts to convert his wife

to his way of thinking. “I kept doing designs and showing my wife renderings. I even

built little models and did all these things to entice her, but she barely gave me the

time of day,” he laughs. “It was always, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’”

Everything changed the day Jones’s wife came home and told him she was

pregnant with their daughter. “I was surprised and excited about the new child,

but the next words out of her mouth were, ‘I guess we need to do the house now.’

I was almost as excited to hear that news as I was to hear about my child,” Jones

exclaims.

Jones threw himself into the project right away, with the goal of having the

house ready in time for his daughter’s birth. “I built the house in eight months,” he

says. “My son called it the ‘fix-it’ house.” Construction began in April 2002. Jones’s

daughter was born in September of that year, and the family moved into their home

in December.

The original designs Jones drew while trying to convince his wife they needed

to remodel had to be scaled back to accommodate their budget, and Jones himself

ended up playing the role of general contractor to save money. “I don’t contract all

the time, but I know the sequence of things,” Jones explains. The couple rented a

house on a nearby walk street while their home was being redone.

As a commercial architect specializing in hotels, spas and restaurants

(Manhattan Beach Post is one of the South Bay restaurants designed by Jones’s

firm, SF Jones Architects in Marina Del Rey), Jones wanted his home to showcase

his residential abilities.

“I’ve since decided to stick with commercial work, although I’ve done a few

houses for friends and acquaintances,” he says. “I jokingly say that if you do

residential architecture, you’re an architect-slash-marriage counselor. You learn

more about people’s marriages than you want to know.”

Designed in a contemporary Craftsman style, the home features trusses and

details evocative of the architectural movement that became popular in the late

1800s and early 1900s. An axial layout defined by a large two-story wall allows for

living spaces to feed off the axis. The home’s clean, simple detailing provides a

decidedly modern feel.

“One of my signature style elements is using a lot of saturated, intense colors,

and I like to use material in its natural coloring,” notes Jones. Indonesian daru-daru

wood was used as flooring throughout the house. Known for its intense, amber-

yellow color, the wood was refinished once and not stained. In the kitchen, Jones

used padauk wood from Africa. The wood’s natural, deep red color has intensified

over time, Jones says. “It’s almost like the house is ripening.”

The home has a split-level floor plan with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half

baths. Although Jones could have built to the maximum 3,300 square feet, the

home is 2,850 square feet because he wanted to preserve the two mature trees in

the backyard. “We got the essentials we needed. Bedrooms for the kids, a spare

room for guests, and a decent-sized master bedroom and bath.”

Jones adds that the living area is six to eight feet higher than the street

elevation, which offers privacy despite the large picture windows at the front of the

house. And though there’s much to love about his home, Jones admits he’s partial

to the kitchen and its positioning relative to the family room and outside patio.

“From the kitchen you have direct visual contact with the family room, and

also to the patio,” notes Jones. “Those three spaces are where we usually hang out,

so there’s always some connection.” And as the chef of the house, Jones says he

can cook, watch his favorite football game and keep an eye on his kids playing in

the yard, all at same time.

Regarding kitchen design, Jones explains that “you have to think about where

the activity happens and where the sous-chef needs to be. The [fewer] steps he

takes, the more efficient he is, and he doesn’t crash into the chef.” Jones applied

this philosophy in his own kitchen. “I can stand in one spot and get stuff out of the

fridge, put it on the grill, and I have a nice maple block in the middle with a drawer

that pulls out for trash. I don’t have to move. In my little triangle of space, I have

everything I need.”

Jones eventually did build the tree house of his dreams for his children. “It’s an

elaborate, three-level tree house that connects the two big trees in the backyard,”

the perfect reward for any child who can motivate his parents to give up an ocean

view for a place to play.

For the longest time while we were living in El Porto, we didn’t know

anything existed east of Highland,” Jones jokes. “We got married and had a kid,

but when he turned 1, we realized we needed a backyard. ‘‘ ‘‘

WRIT TEN BY DENISE KANO

If you head into Palos Verdes, pass Malaga Cove and then drop down toward

the right, you’ll come upon the Neighborhood Church, a beautiful building with

an interesting past.

J. J. Haggarty, an entrepreneur who owned businesses in both Los Angeles

and New York, chose this beautiful and private spot to build his graceful mansion

in 1927. The home was to serve as his summer residence. Haggerty was born

in London in 1864 and arrived in Los Angeles in 1902, and he became a successful

businessman. He hired architect Armand Monaco to design his summer home

in the style of an elegant Mediterranean villa. The result was an expansive,

one-story Italianate villa with a tile roof that was comprised of 32 rooms, including

a master bedroom with a bathroom that featured a sunken Roman tub and

a walk-in closet. Also included on the property were a conservatory, a formal

garden, gardener’s cottage, a large swimming pool, private pier and two garages

housing six automobiles.

Haggerty’s architect specifically intended the residence to complement

the dramatic, nearby cliffs. There was lush landscaping and immaculate gardens,

all designed by the Olmsted Brothers. There was also a greenhouse and

a reflecting pool, all of which were protected by a 30-foot sea wall. An intricate,

scalloped rock wall ran along the front of the estate, and an arched entranceway

decorated the circular drive. Full-size olive trees and palm trees were planted on

the property, and Roman statues surrounded the residence in keeping with the

Mediterranean theme. Haggerty’s private pier extended 150 yards out into the

bay. A barn also adjoined the residence.

The cost to build Haggerty’s dream summer home? $750,000 – quite a price

tag for those pre-Depression days.

When the Haggerty business faltered, his beautiful mansion passed through

several owners and was finally bought by Harry Wheeler, a mid-west financier

who purchased the estate with the sole purpose of housing his art collection.

Upon Wheeler’s death, his family wanted neither the estate nor his collection, and

the villa sat on the real estate market in 1949 for quite some time. The property’s

asking price was just $250,000, and yet it was subsequently reduced numerous

times. Executors of the Wheeler estate eventually accepted an offer from

the United Church of Christ for $60,000 and the property became known as the

Neighborhood Church in 1953.

It may have changed a bit over the years, but the location still has gorgeous

surroundings, unsurpassed views, and a welcoming spirit.

South Bay Digs: Tell me a little about your background and your connection to the South Bay.

I grew up in Bakersfield until I was 11 and then moved to the Palos Verdes area. I always loved the

ocean. Every time we would go to the beach when I was a kid, you couldn’t get me out. I always

had a boogie board and was swimming around. And when we moved here, I was so happy. I was

so fascinated with surfing, but could never do it because we lived so far away.

When we finally did move here, my sister and I found a surfboard in my neighbor’s trash can. We

found this board from the 1970s with a single fin and had no surf wax for it. We would go out and

take turns and even hit a few people because we didn’t have a leash. We knew nothing about what

we were doing, I just knew that I loved it! I kept going out all of the time and after a while began to

pick things up. I was so dedicated and wanted to go every day and just be in the ocean.

How long did it take you before you felt like you knew what you were doing out in the water?

The first time I went out there, I didn’t even catch a wave. I was just trying to stay on the board.

After a few times though, about the fifth time, I rode a white wash wave. I learned on a shortboard,

so that made it really hard. After getting that wave, I was hooked. I couldn’t stop.

The summer before high school, I would go every day. I walked a bunch of dogs that summer to save

up for a new board. By the end of summer, I was picking up waves and knew what I was doing out

there. I lived up by Peninsula High School at the time and would bike all the way to Manhattan Beach.

What was going through your mind the first time you caught a big wave?

It was such a special day. I’ll never forget that session. I was out there and the water was really

shallow and clear, so I could see all of the shells on the bottom. I still remember having the song

Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson stuck in my head. Only one other kid was out there surfing, so it

wasn’t too crowded. I caught it and it was also the first wave that I angled on, so I was able to ride

it sideways and stay up for a while. It was such a great feeling to float on top of the wave.

What do you love about surfing?

You almost can’t explain it. Just being out there, the colors are so beautiful, you often see marine

life and it is so quiet. You are shut off from the rest of the world. All you hear are the waves crashing

and the birds flying over. It is very peaceful. It is a great way to clear your head and it seems like

everything disappears once you get in the water. Every time you go out, you can always challenge

yourself. It is always unpredictable and keeps you on your toes.

What do you like about surfing in the South Bay?

Everyone is really friendly here when you are surfing. If you go down south or up north, people

are really aggressive. I like this area being below the radar because of that. Everyone travels

to Newport, Huntington and Malibu. Here it is cool. I usually surf Manhattan by the pier, which

everyone makes fun of me for, but I also will occasionally travel. Sometimes I’ll surf El Porto or go

to Santa Barbara and Ventura.

What have you accomplished in surfing since graduating from high school?

After high school, I had the decision of traveling to compete. I had a few sponsors, including

Channel Island Surfboards and Mike Benavidez from Ercoles. I went to France, Hawaii and Florida,

and I did pretty well. They were competitions run by the Association for Surfing Professionals and

World Qualifying Series. The first big tournament I went to was in Hossegor, France when I was

just 18. The whole thing was a pretty scary experience. I’d never been out of the country and got

lost on the way there, but it was a growing experience. I saw all of these girls that I see in surfing

magazines and was just trying to stay cool and not be star struck. My surfing isn’t what was holding

me back, I just didn’t know how to compete at that level, but my surfing was there. I’d make it

through a few heats, but never win any.

What are some of the things you are trying to focus on in these competitions?

I love going out and being free to catch waves and work on my surfing, but when you go out in

a heat, especially with high level contests, you have to be very aggressive. It is almost like you are

mean to the other surfers. That is so hard for me. I’m learning that it is a big part of competing and

strategy. It’s almost about not letting others catch certain waves.

Tell me about the contests you are competing in now and how you are staying involved in surfing.

I’m trying to think more like an athlete. When I go out and surf every day, I am thinking about

bettering my surfing. I am thinking about where I should be placing myself on the wave and doing

more critical turns. I am also trying to train and eat like an athlete.

I just did a 6-Star WQS event, which was a cool experience. I learned a lot and I know the scores I

got, I know I can beat all of those girls, I just need to have a better strategy. I’m also doing strength

and balance work. I’m just trying to surf seven days a week. Also as a surf instructor, I am in the

water before and after lessons and work around that.

RIPPING IT UP


IN THE SOUTH BAY AND BEYOND

From the second Natalie Anzivino rode her first wave, she was hooked. Happiest when she’s surfing, the 22-year-old is down by the

Manhattan Beach pier nearly every day practicing for upcoming competitions. South Bay Digs caught up with Anzivino to chat about

her love of surfing, what it’s like to compete in tournaments across the globe, and her future goals.

5144 – This breathtaking home is gorgeous, but not intimidating. The first floor features two bedrooms, two baths, spacious formal dining room, enclosed sun room with tile flooring, and a warm, inviting family room with genuine hardwood floor and fireplace. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, with marble counter tops, custom wood cabinets, leaded window, wood floor with genuine wood inlays, cozy breakfast booth and Sub-Zero refrigerator. On the upper floor is the master suite, with French doors in the bedroom opening to a spacious balcony with views of the ocean and coastal lights. Also upstairs is the library/office with access to the balcony. There are countless other custom touches throughout the home, including crown moldings and stained glass windows. The outside is just as impressive, with pool and spa installed just three years ago. Pool area also includes built-in grill, gas fire pit, and custom brick seating around the grill. This and other brickwork throughout the property was done by a master British mason. The front and back yards feature lush, mature vegetation, providing privacy and shade. Artificial turf lawns are attractive and pet-friendly. This property is not subject to hilltop overlay.
