Elementary School: Pacific Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
Extensively rebuilt in 2011 with updated electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, providing the peace of mind of modern construction within an established neighborhood.
Situated in the highly coveted Tree Section of Manhattan Beach, offering proximity to award-winning schools, Sand Dune Park, and the downtown coastline.
At 1,288 sq. ft., the home is relatively small for its price point, which may be a constraint for buyers seeking more living space or larger bedroom sizes.
The custom playhouse and potentially elements of the rear structure are unpermitted, which could present challenges during the appraisal process or future permitting for renovations.
This is a home that works now, with options for what's next. Set on a 40 x 112 lot in one of Manhattan Beach’s most established neighborhoods, this single-level home offers a rare combination of immediate livability and long-term flexibility. Originally built in 1955; current owners took the majority of the structure down to the floorboards in 2011. The home was rebuilt with almost all new framing and brought up to 2011 code with permitted improvements across all major systems, including electrical, plumbing, roof, and mechanicals. The result is a home with the character of its original footprint, but with the peace-of-mind and functionality of modern construction as well as a thoughtful flow that maximizes sq.ftg. The main living spaces sit under HIGH vaulted ceilings that allow for extra windows to bring in natural light, creating volume that makes this home live larger than expected. The kitchen is open to the dining and living spaces. Kitchen/bath cabinets were custom-made for the home by Coastal Cabinets. The lot itself sits elevated above neighboring properties to the south and southwest, creating a noticeable sense of separation. Low maintenance/drought-friendly landscaping. A secondary access door to the yard allows guests to move freely between indoor and outdoor spaces without passing through private bedroom areas, a subtle but highly functional advantage for everyday living and entertaining. A detached rear structure provides additional flexibility for storage, studio or workspace (first to claim it makes it their "she shed" or "man-cave"!) Don't worry . . . there's a custom-built matching playhouse for the littles, complete with mini-loft, secret doors, functioning windows, and a darling dutch-door. [unpermitted and not included in sq.ftg.] Beyond the condition and layout, the lot introduces another valuable layer of opportunity. With a full footprint in a single-family zone, there is potential for future expansion, reconfiguration, or redevelopment, allowing the next owner to think not just about today, but what this property can become over time. Ask your agent for more details! Positioned in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Tree Section, known for its quaint streets, community feel, and proximity to award-winning schools. Enjoy easy access to local parks, Sand Dune Park, downtown Manhattan Beach, and the coastline. Convenient commuter routes nearby and being within just minutes to LAX make this location as practical as it is desirable.
