More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this home is aged but appears to be maintained. The kitchen features very dated oak cabinets, tile countertops, linoleum flooring, and fluorescent lighting, suggesting a renovation from 30-40 years ago. Bathrooms also show outdated tile, glass block, and older vanities, though one includes a jacuzzi tub. The living room has wood paneling and worn carpet, and popcorn ceilings are present. While functional, the property requires substantial aesthetic and system updates to meet modern standards, but does not show signs of significant defects affecting safety or structural integrity.

About this home

A rare Manhattan Beach opportunity. This inviting single-level home features a thoughtfully designed, partially open-concept kitchen adjacent to a living room with a classic wood-burning fireplace, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The spacious primary suite boasts dual walk-in closets, one being cedar-lined. One of the bathrooms is enhanced with a jacuzzi bathtub, ideal for relaxation. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage located at the rear of the property and a long, beautifully crafted paver driveway offering abundant off-street parking both in front of and behind a secure gate, which enhances the home’s curb appeal. The private backyard is ideal for entertaining or unwinding, complete with a pool and diving board, and offers exceptional potential to customize, expand, or build new in a prime coastal location near beaches, schools, shopping, and dining
