2301 Manhattan Avenue

Discover the pinnacle of coastal living in this meticulously maintained, 4-level custom home, crafted by acclaimed architect Michael Lee and master builder, Baldwin Homes. Located just steps from the sand, this gem of a property is in a quiet pocket of Manhattan Beach where there are no utility poles or wires. The original owners are selling, and that means an incredible opportunity for someone to take over the legacy of this unique property. With 2,484 square feet of living space, this warm contemporary, corner lot, ocean view home boasts masterful design and quality construction. The top floor living space is so bright and light with water and Malibu views from the kitchen and big water views looking southwest from the living room toward Palos Verdes and Catalina. When sitting on the top floor deck, you will enjoy straight-on whitewater views down 23rd St. Perched on the corner of 23rd and Manhattan Ave., this property (aka 125 23rd St.) is equally walkable to both Downtown and North Manhattan Beach. The lower level has gorgeous concrete floors featuring radiant heat and a large flex room, ¾ bath and spacious laundry room. The next level up has another flex room and the garage. The third level features the Primary Bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet and office with beautiful built-ins and two dedicated work stations. The top level living area seamlessly merges with the dining and kitchen areas where culinary artistry meets water views. The kitchen is designed in such a way that it was featured in Better Homes and Gardens' “Kitchen and Bath ideas” magazine. And with 4 levels, I bet you are wondering… is there is an elevator? Yes! – a 4-stop elevator allows one to age in the home or get groceries easily from the garage to the kitchen. Other features include brand new A/C unit, brand new alarm, tankless water heater, radiant heat in Primary bath floors, solid-core wooden pocket doors, beautiful mahogany wood built-ins throughout, bronzed anodized aluminum framing on exterior window and doors, and fire sprinklers. The home currently lives as a 1-bedroom but with almost 2500 square feet, there is plenty of room for more. Drawings from the original architect, show how two rooms in the home can easily be converted to additional bedrooms.
