When you rise to greet the day, a grand Pacific ocean stretches before you, its gentle waves capped in bright white along the beach as they catch the sunlight.

Similarly, you may prefer to configure the space as a separate wardrobe and dressing area, again with its own adjoining bath. Upper Level Bedrooms Neighboring the inner atrium courtyard, the upper level bedroom suites are just steps from the family room, kitchen, and garage. Each of the two suites is quiet and private, and includes its own oversized closet, full bath and ocean view. As with the rest of the home, these bedrooms maintain a strong connection to the Sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.

Sure, you could call this a downstairs kitchen, but a good party is all about fun! When friends slide onto stools at the fountain counter, expect things to get a bit noisy. Whether you do it yourself or hire help, the soda fountain is a guaranteed good time. Use the microwave/convection oven to bake a quick batch of warm brownies. Add a little ice cream and hot fudge. Top it off with whipped cream, nuts and cherries. When it’s all gone, turn on the dishwasher and head for the bowling alley.

Put away the Wii. It’s time for actual bowling, with heavy balls, full-size lanes, and real wood pins that make a racket when they topple over. Bowling is noisy. It’s a rowdy game where the rumble of rolling balls and crashing pins is routinely drowned out with cheers and laughter. (That’s why the bowling alley has special, soundinsulting doors.) No matter how old you are, you’re a kid when you’re bowling. When you bowl at Beach Lanes, it feels like you’re bowling outside. Floor-to-ceiling windows along the entire length make it seem like the rocky grotto cliffs, palm trees and swimming pools are part of the room. Indeed, when the oversized glass doors are opened and the warm breezes flow through, the bowling alley is outside.

In its open configuration, the room is an extension of the bowling alley, allowing a good party plenty of room to spread out. Pull out the separating panel, however, and the room becomes a private area large enough for a fully-equipped gym, massage tables, even jam sessions. The area also includes a wet bar and bathroom with shower. The Fitness/Activity room also connects to the ocean beach via the Beach Tunnel. The tunnel includes its own shower for rinsing off after beach activity, plus substantial storage space for beach equipment, kayaks, patio furniture, and other storage items.

As the elevator lowers your car, the arena comes into view. If your passion is automobiles, that’s enough room for 12 cars (plus the four in the garage). Even then, the arena still has room for a workshop, and is already equipped with a lift and automated exhaust extraction. But the arena is not just for cars. It is a ballroom grand enough for any affair. Caterers can use the automotive lift to deliver their essentials right into the ballroom, and the lift itself becomes a raised stage for entertainment. Plus, the rest of the lower level – the theater, bowling alley, swimming pool and more – are through the door and just a few steps away. It is huge, more than 3,000 square feet of fully conditioned space. An arena of this magnitude is nearly impossible to find on a waterfront property, and is achievable only because of the three contiguous lots of the Portabello. For large-scale hobbies, elaborate entertaining, or anything else, this is a phenomenal space. Arena Highlights • Fully conditioned, climate controlled space • Auto/Service elevator from garage above, doubles as performance stage • Room for 12 cars, plus work space and automated fume extraction • Museum-quality lighting A restroom, shower and changing area are nestled behind the cliff walls.

With stunning views and privacy in every direction, it can be difficult to tell front from back on this astonishing home. But if a back yard is defined by barbeques and outside activity, this one qualifies as one of the best in the world. Add some kids (no matter how old), and the entire area is instantly transformed into happiness and laughter. The grassy back yard is designed for picnic blankets, croquet, and kicking off your sandals.
