Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1958, this 66-year-old property is marketed primarily as a 'value-add' opportunity or a site for a new custom luxury home. Although it has received 'budget-conscious cosmetic improvements' including fresh paint and new appliances to make it rental-ready, the kitchen and bathrooms are original/dated, and the listing explicitly suggests a full-scale remodel is required.
Elementary School: Aurelia Pennekamp Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
Priced at $1,701,000, this property represents the lowest-priced entry point into the prestigious Mira Costa neighborhood, offering rare accessibility to a high-demand market.
The 4,857 sq. ft. lot serves as a premier value-add opportunity, providing a blank canvas to either build a custom luxury estate or perform a high-end full-scale remodel.
The original 1958 structure offers only 1,280 sq. ft. for a 4-bedroom layout, resulting in small room scales that require significant expansion or a total rebuild to meet modern luxury standards.
The up-sloping nature of the lot can increase the complexity and cost of future construction, site drainage, and landscaping compared to flat parcels in the area.
426 S. Peck Ave. M.B. offered at $1,701,000 is currently the lowest-priced entry point into the “Mira Costa” area. The lot is up-sloping at 58’ x 83’ (4,857 sq. ft.). The classic 1958 residence represents an excellent value-add opportunity to build a custom luxury home or perform a full-scale remodel. The existing 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house recently received fresh budget-conscious cosmetic improvements…including new stainless refrigerator, gas range, vent hood, and dishwasher. It now serves perfectly as a blank canvas for your design ideas, or an immediate income-producing rental while you obtain architectural plans and permits.
