Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1989 (35 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant updates within the 5-15 year range. The kitchen features modern quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the main living areas have updated hardwood flooring. While the primary bathroom remains dated with original tile and glass blocks, the overall functional condition and cosmetic refreshments, including a renovated powder room, meet the criteria for Good.
Elementary School: Pacific Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
Offering nearly 2,900 square feet of living space, this property provides a significantly lower price-per-square-foot than typical Tree Section homes, representing a rare value opportunity in Manhattan Beach.
Located just six blocks from the beach and within walking distance to North Manhattan Beach shops, dining, and top-rated Grand View Elementary, the home perfectly captures the sought-after beach lifestyle.
The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 3646, living area = 2904.
Situated on Rosecrans Avenue, the property is subject to higher traffic volume and potential noise compared to more secluded interior streets within the Tree Section.
Despite key updates, the 1989 construction may still feature some dated architectural elements and finishes that could require additional investment to align with modern luxury preferences.
Picture this: the gate closes behind you, greenery adds a welcome sense of privacy, and suddenly Manhattan Beach life feels a little more relaxed. With nearly 2,900 sq ft of beautifully designed living space, this Tree Section home delivers room to spread out, entertain, work, and enjoy the beach lifestyle—all at a value that’s hard to ignore. Inside, soaring ceilings and oversized windows fill the family room with natural light, while a fireplace sets the scene for easy gatherings. The adjacent dining room is currently used as an office, but game room, homework headquarters, formal dining—you decide. The kitchen is ready for its starring role with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a generous island with built-in gas range, walk-in pantry, laundry room, and dining area overlooking a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and its own fireplace. Outside, a private patio and backyard with string lights invite you to pour the wine, fire up the grill, and let the ocean breeze do its thing. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with fireplace, generous closet, private balcony, and ensuite bath featuring a jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanity. A hall bath with dual vanities, downstairs powder room, and two-car garage with alley access round out the practical side of the equation. And then there’s the location. Just six blocks from the beach and close to North Manhattan Beach restaurants and shops, you’re also only a short distance from Manhattan Village, The Point, and Grand View Elementary School, putting an impressive collection of dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences nearby. Being on the north end of Manhattan Beach also means easier access toward LAX, the Westside, and Los Angeles. Best of all? This location creates an opportunity to get nearly 2,900 sq ft in Manhattan Beach at a price point that would be tough to duplicate in many other parts of town. More house, beach nearby, great shopping and dining in both directions—and plenty of room to make it your own. That’s a tradeoff worth discovering.
