 566 35th Street (5br/5ba, 4732 sqft.) is a special, oversized home with tons of space, a super fun basement and even a guest unit over the garage in back of the street-to-alley lot. 

The 2008 custom build greets you with classic East Coast style, nice stonework outside and, immediately, "vintage" flooring that looks as if it might have been reclaimed from an old barn.

The kitchen/great room, with its built-in seating by the window, is a magazine-worthy masterpiece. Oh, hey, they actually say the whole house was featured in Better Homes and Gardens! OK then. There are doors out to the sunny, south-facing yard from there.

There are four bedrooms on the top level, and a fifth out in back in the aforementioned guest unit over the garage.

 13 Coronado Court (3br/3ba, 2023 sqft.) hides a mightily redone home behind the Village's traditional exterior.

We've seen Plan 4 units like this remodeled – we even have clients who have done a superb job with one – but the pop and buzz and style on this redo is almost otherworldly.

As a note, the original plan had a step-down living room and galley kitchen, but here they're removed walls and leveled out the flooring. It's almost impossible to know you're in the Village here.

Location is very close to the entry area, with its pond and pool, with lots of treetop views from the upstairs rooms.

From the official description:

"Come see this completely remodeled and reimagined Manhattan Village townhome! Once a 'plan 4,' now a 'plan-ultra chic'. Soho meets Manhattan Village! Designed with super fun and artsy accents, the home is also reconfigured to maximize space and functionality.
From the curbside front entry, walk into an enormous great room (no longer split level) that can literally become part of the large outdoor space when the large 8' patio doors are opened. An entertainers dream! The great room is accented with dramatic beamed ceilings with added loft above. A huge chefs kitchen includes a large Carrera [sic] marble island, 6 burner 48" Thermador range, a massive 60" side by side fridge and intelligently crafted cabinetry for maximum storage. You will find added skylights throughout the home, drenching it with natural light. The master suite boats a large bathroom with trendy accents and unique features and high end finishes. Choose a freestanding tub, or shower with a hot steamer. Use the added loft as an office or 4th bedroom or exercise room. Stay cool all summer with central AC, seldom found in Manhattan Beach. This cool vibe home has it all and then some. This is a must see!"
