"Sunsets, ocean air, and spaces that flex with your life—this architecturally refined coastal home is designed to live the way Manhattan Beach buyers actually want to live. Set on a southwest corner just moments from the Strand, the home unfolds across four thoughtfully designed levels, each offering its own mood—from relaxed entertaining to quiet retreat. Wide-plank French oak floors, warm wood paneling, and metal-framed windows create a calm, elevated backdrop that feels both modern and timeless. The top level is where life naturally gathers. Walls of glass and bi-fold doors open to a panoramic ocean-view deck—perfect for sunset dinners, weekend barbecues, and evenings that stretch just a little longer with a glass of wine in hand. A chef’s kitchen anchors the space, outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, slab marble counters, and a breakfast bar that keeps everyone connected to the view. Below, the home reveals its most unexpected feature: a lower-level lounge that feels nothing like a basement. By excavating the west side yard, the space is flooded with natural light and generous proportions. Designed as a sophisticated entertainment retreat, it features a custom bar, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and lounge seating—yet easily transforms into a private guest suite or secondary living space, complete with a Murphy bed, bath, laundry, and elevator access. The bedroom levels offer privacy and flexibility, including a serene primary suite with its own ocean-view deck, spa-like marble bath, and adjacent room that can serve as an office, study, or nursery. A separate-entry bedroom suite on the garage level adds ideal functionality for guests, work-from-home, or extended stays. A four stop elevator, Smart-home technology, secure steel entry, whole-house water filtration, and a Tesla Powerwall system quietly support the lifestyle—letting the home feel effortless, intentional, and ready for everyday living by the coast. This is not just a home near the ocean—it’s a home built around the way you experience it."
