Property is move-in ready.
The property is a well-maintained 1981 Tudor-style home that is move-in ready with high-quality architectural details such as vaulted wood-beam ceilings, hand-troweled plaster walls, and stone accents. While the kitchen features a high-end professional-grade stainless steel range, the black refrigerator and dishwasher, along with the specific cabinetry and granite style, suggest the home was extensively renovated approximately 10-15 years ago rather than recently. It shows minimal wear and tear but does not meet the 'excellent' criteria for a brand-new or 5-year full renovation.
Elementary School: Pacific Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
This rare storybook Tudor-style home features exceptional craftsmanship, including hand-troweled plaster walls and distressed wood details, offering a timeless aesthetic that stands out in the Manhattan Beach Tree Section.
A central European-inspired stone courtyard creates a seamless transition between living spaces, providing a level of privacy and alfresco entertaining space that is highly coveted and rare for this neighborhood.
Built in 1981 with intricate features like ivy-covered walls and hand-troweled plaster, the home may require more specialized and frequent upkeep compared to modern, low-maintenance constructions.
While the courtyard design maximizes privacy, the 4,647 square foot lot may feel restrictive to buyers specifically seeking a traditional expansive grass backyard at this multi-million dollar price point.
Introducing this exceptional, storybook Tudor-style home of rare beauty and presence. 2917 N Poinsettia is set on a quiet, tree-lined street within a treasured pocket of Manhattan Beach's Tree Section... a location and architectural pairing that feels timeless, romantic, and increasingly hard to find. Surrounded by mature trees, ivy-covered gardens, and beautifully maintained homes, this residence immediately captures attention and invites you in. Offering nearly 3,200 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the home is rich in character and craftsmanship. A thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen anchors the main living spaces, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the home, distressed wood details, natural stone accents, hand-troweled plaster walls, fireplaces, and soaring ceilings create warmth, texture, and understated elegance. The formal living room fireplace adds a cozy focal point, perfect for gathering on cooler evenings. At the center of the home is a private, European-inspired stone-paved courtyard, which the residence gracefully wraps around, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience and an exceptional sense of privacy rare for the Tree Section. Perfect for weekend brunches, golden-hour gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars, the courtyard serves as a true extension of the living space. Surrounding living areas feel expansive yet inviting, designed for both formal entertaining and relaxed daily living, with large, thoughtfully placed windows framing lush greenery and bathing the interiors in soft coastal light. The dining room opens to two inviting patios - one facing the front garden and one overlooking the courtyard - beautifully extending the entertaining footprint while filling the home with natural light. These outdoor spaces allow gatherings to flow effortlessly, whether hosting intimate dinners, weekend brunches, or larger celebrations with doors thrown open to the breeze. Mature gardens and ivy-covered walls further enhance the home's authentic, old-world charm. The layout offers exceptional flexibility for family living, guests, or dedicated work-from-home spaces. The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a spa-like bath, closets for two, and its own fireplace, creating a private, cozy, and luxurious atmosphere. One of the secondary bedrooms includes an extended, versatile space, ideal for a child's playroom, a relaxed lounge, or a quiet area for guests to unwind.
