229 Marine Place

This one might have you doing a double take… East Coast brownstone vibes, desirable Manhattan Beach Sand Section address, and the ocean casually sitting just a block and a half away. Yes, it’s real—and yes, it’s as good as it sounds.



Wrapped in rich brick with striking copper trim, this fully renovated beauty delivers that timeless, city-chic aesthetic with a laid-back coastal twist. Think morning coffee with ocean breezes, evenings painted in sunset hues through floor-to-ceiling black-trimmed windows, and a home that feels equally suited for a quiet night in or a lively gathering with friends.



Upstairs, the main living space is equal parts polished and inviting. Sunlight pours into the open-concept layout, where a sleek kitchen steals the show—quartz counters, white subway tile, open wood shelving, and a lineup of appliances that reads like a dream team (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Fisher & Paykel… you get the idea). The living room frames ocean views like artwork, complete with motorized shades for when the show’s over.



One bedroom has been transformed into a next-level dressing room, complete with a hidden hatch leading to a rooftop perch—perfect for catching fireworks or claiming your new favorite sunset spot. And if a second bedroom is back on the wishlist, it’s an easy switch.



Downstairs offers its own private entrance and a whole new set of possibilities: guest suite, income opportunity, creative studio, or your ultimate work-from-home setup. Add in a courtyard, outdoor shower (post-surf rinse, anyone?), and separate A/C systems, and you’ve got flexibility dialed in.



Finished with a 2-car garage and EV charger, and two separate tankless water heaters, this is the kind of home that doesn’t just check expectations—it rewrites them.



A coastal lifestyle with a brownstone soul… and an opportunity that won’t wait around.
