Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2002 (22 years old), the property falls into the Fair category based on age. While the home is 'turnkey' and well-maintained with high-end Sub-Zero/Bosch appliances and a new roof coating, the kitchen cabinetry and tile work are original to the build and appear dated. Per the criteria, homes over 20 years old with original finishes are rated Fair as they typically require cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.

Situated just steps from the top-rated Grandview Elementary and a short walk to the beach and downtown Manhattan Beach, this property offers an elite coastal lifestyle in a highly coveted neighborhood.
The top-floor living area features an open-concept design that flows into a private central atrium with a built-in Saber BBQ, providing a rare and seamless transition for al fresco entertaining.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2500, other record living area = 2427.
As a townhouse on a compact lot, the property lacks a traditional grassy backyard, which may be a drawback for buyers with pets or those seeking significant outdoor play areas.
The three-story floor plan requires frequent use of stairs to navigate between the main living spaces and bedrooms, which may not appeal to buyers with mobility concerns or those preferring a more horizontal layout.
Steps away from Grandview Elementary and a few short blocks to the beach, 2303 Vista offers a thoughtfully designed coastal layout with seamless indoor-outdoor living in one of Manhattan Beach’s most sought-after locations. Positioned on the top level, the main living spaces are filled with natural light and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. An open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area flows to a private central atrium—complete with a stainless steel Saber BBQ—creating an inviting setting for al fresco dinners or relaxed evenings at home. The kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, GE double convection oven, Bosch dishwasher, and generous prep space, complemented by a built-in buffet bar with seating for four—ideal for casual dining. The living area is spacious and comfortable, with a seamless connection to the kitchen, dining, and outdoor spaces. Just off the living room, a secondary flex space offers versatility—ideal for a den, playroom, gym, or office—complete with a nearby powder room for added convenience. On the middle level lies three bedrooms, including the primary suite—a quiet retreat with a custom walk-in closet, private balcony, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower. A private fourth bedroom suite on the lower level, complete with its own entrance and side yard, offers ideal separation for guests, extended stays, or flexible use. Additional highlights include air conditioning, fresh interior paint, turnkey ready with thoughtful maintenance upgrades like new roof coating, and an attached two-car garage with built-in storage plus an additional carport spot that could be converted to extra outdoor space. Ideally located near the beach, downtown Manhattan Beach, Grandview Elementary and neighborhood favorites, this home balances convenience, privacy, and a true coastal lifestyle.
