8231 Gulana Avenue

Crafted with undeniable intention, this custom-built Silicon Beach home blends privacy, comfort, and coastal convenience in over 2,100 square feet of beautifully designed living space. Currently configured as three bedrooms, it also offers strong expansion potential through the finished two-car garage with separate entry, ideal for an ADU or main-home addition. //Originally designed for the family behind the iconic surf brand Quiksilver, this home opens through a formal split-level entry, where steps rise into a great room that genuinely earns the name. Soaring vaulted ceilings stretch overhead, rich Vermont Oak hardwood floors ground the space with warmth and elegance, and a dual set of sliding glass doors opens to an expansive upper deck. //The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring extensive Caesarstone countertops, a premium Viking range, plenty of functional storage behind beautiful cabinetry, and a center island equipped with bar seating and a wine fridge built for hosting. The dining area is just steps away, seamlessly opening to the kitchen and living room in one easy swoop, making it an ideal hub for entertaining friends and family. //The first bedroom sits off the main level, featuring a curved half-stair entry and an inspired, penthouse-like feel. Downstairs, two separate primary retreats each offer luxurious spa bathrooms, walk-in closets, and sliders that open to the beautifully landscaped backyard for a private, Zen-like retreat. //Four distinct outdoor spaces give you options for every mood and every moment: a quiet morning coffee in the front courtyard, an afternoon shooting hoops, an evening around the lower-yard gas fire pit, or a weekend barbecue on the main-level balcony where you can catch a peek of the ocean. //Enjoy the added convenience of a downstairs interior full laundry room, custom surround sound throughout, central heating and air conditioning, plus a long, flat driveway with plenty of parking on a private, low-traffic street. Set in a quiet corner of Playa del Rey, the home sits where nature and tech intersect - close to the Ballona Creek bike path, the beach, bluff trails with expansive city and ocean views, and major tech and creative hubs including Google, YouTube, Apple, and SpaceX. //Step into effortless coastal living.
