Manhattan Beach, California 90266
This property presents a Strong Value Opportunity with a List Price of $2,699,000—positioned well below the $2,938,828 Fair Market Value by 8%. This valuation gap offers $239,828 in Instant Equity. Featuring a Condition Rating of 6, the home serves as a prime candidate for a luxury rebuild on its Oversized 5,403 SF Lot. Located in the prestigious Grandview Elementary district, this is a high-reward acquisition ideal for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking to build a custom estate in Manhattan Beach.
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1957 (67 years old) with no evidence of major renovations, this property meets the criteria for a tear-down. The interior features original 1950s finishes, including grasscloth wallpaper, dated parquet flooring, and old carpeting. Given the age, lack of updates to kitchens/baths, and the high land value in the Manhattan Beach Tree Section, it is positioned as a lot-value opportunity.
Situated just six blocks from the beach and within the prestigious Grandview Elementary district, this property offers an ideal coastal lifestyle near Sand Dune Park and downtown amenities.
The 5,403 square foot lot is significantly larger than standard parcels in the area, providing a rare opportunity for expansion or the construction of a substantial new luxury estate.
Featuring vaulted beam ceilings, a brick fireplace, and abundant natural light from skylights, the home possesses a unique mid-century charm and character often lost in modern developments.
Built in 1957, the home likely requires extensive renovations or a complete rebuild to meet modern luxury standards, which may necessitate a significant additional investment.
At 1,490 square feet, the current interior space is relatively small for the price point, making the value heavily dependent on the land rather than the existing structure.
