Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features a modernized kitchen and updated interior finishes. While originally built in 1978, the home has been well-maintained with contemporary styling, updated bathrooms, and functional systems. It fits the 'good' category as it is a well-kept older structure with significant updates that do not quite reach the level of a full-scale, top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years.
Elementary School: Aurelia Pennekamp Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
The property features a rare private backyard and two separate outdoor spaces, offering exceptional indoor-outdoor flow that is highly sought after and difficult to find in this price segment.
Ideally situated within a mile of the beach and downtown Manhattan Beach, providing convenient access to top-rated schools, Polliwog Park, and major retail hubs like Trader Joe’s and Target.
Built in 1978, the structure may require more ongoing maintenance or lack the modern energy-efficient systems found in newer construction within the area.
At 1,190 square feet, the living space is relatively modest for a multi-level townhouse, which may feel restrictive for buyers seeking expansive common areas or large flex spaces.
Tucked quietly away from the buzz of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, this charming, modern, rear-unit townhome is the kind of hidden gem buyers are always hoping to find - private, stylish, and right in the center of everything. With 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, this home delivers the best of both worlds: peaceful living with incredible convenience just outside your door. Step inside to a bright, welcoming living space designed for easy coastal living, featuring a cozy fireplace and an updated kitchen, perfect for everything from laid-back weeknight dinners to hosting friends before heading downtown. The home truly shines when it comes to indoor-outdoor flow, offering two separate outdoor spaces, including a private backyard - a rare find in this price point - ideal for morning coffee, a sunset spritz, or weekend BBQ. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite with ensuite bath provides a relaxing retreat, while the second bedroom with its own adjacent full bathroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or growing households. An upstairs laundry area adds everyday ease, and the attached two-car garage with extra storage makes beach life that much more practical. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat: about a mile to the sand and Downtown Manhattan Beach, and just minutes to Polliwog Park, Target, Trader Joe’s, Manhattan Beach award-winning dining, shopping, and top-rated schools, with convenient commuter access to LAX and the freeways. Homes that combine privacy, outdoor space, modern updates, and this level of central convenience rarely come along - and once you step inside, you’ll understand why!
