Manhattan Beach New Listings (10/7-10/8/23)

It's time for the annual Hometown Fair, and another chance to remind yourself what a special little town Manhattan Beach is.

Less time at open houses, more time out on open fields grabbing snacks and visiting vendors. Oh, what's that? They have a beer garden? Tell me more.

This year, one of the fair's unofficial stars is a 20-year-old goldfish won at a previous Hometown Fair. Read all about "Paco" the fish on our sister site, MB News.

Tree Section

 1215 Fisher Avenue (5br/6ba, 5400 sqft.) is a 2019 build with big ocean views from the top floor.

It's a masterful, beautiful property, but for whatever reason it's looking for its third owner in about 4 years. The most recent sale, late in 2020, was at $6.550M.

From the official description:

"[A] beautiful Coastal Modern residence, custom built in 2019 on an ideal corner lot in a location central to downtown shops and restaurants as well as the Strand.

 1701 Poinsettia Avenue (3br/2ba, 1840 sqft.) is a 1950s-era corner-lot ranch house that somehow feels iconic.

Probably that's just because it's one of those houses you seem to see constantly passing by, and it exudes a certain throwback charm.

Turns out, the current owners gave the home a complete modernization, so even if the home maintains that old-time vibe, inside, it's got all the expected modern styles and conveniences.

From the official description:

"Located on a premium corner lot in the renowned Manhattan Beach, this home is a testament to elegant coastal living... Rich hardwood floors guide you through its open-concept living area, where one of two exposed brick fireplaces creates a cozy ambiance. Vaulted, beamed ceilings add a nice architectural detail while making the space feel generous. Large windows and sliding doors open to a private yard, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. The outdoor space has a beautiful flagstone patio, perfect for a dining table, as well as a grassy area for play. In the kitchen, vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, Quartz counters, designer tile backsplash and a farmhouse sink perfectly complement the custom cabinetry, providing an elegant yet functional space. A large center island serves at the focal point in the kitchen and offers a space for food prep as well as a place for a casual meal."

1701 Poinsettia Avenue begins at $3.275M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

 2605 N Poinsettia Avenue (3br/2ba, 1190 sqft.) might look familiar.

It was marketed in April through June this year, a probate listing that had to go to a court confirmation process, where it closed for $1.700M.

The very original home is back now at a substantial markup. If you didn't go to court to get this on an overbid basis, you now have a much greater premium to pay.

From the official description:

"Welcome to this LOVELY 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home within the HIGHLY sought after Tree Section Neighborhood of Manhattan Beach. With it's charming vintage detail and original character, this property offers a unique opportunity to restore it to its full potential and create the home of your DREAMS!

 221 4th Place (3br/4ba, 2500 sqft.) is an oversized townhome with some ocean views that may be somewhat protected, based on what we heard about a neighbor's acquisition of one "low" property that affords those views today.

If you're accustomed to local townhome layouts, this one will be familiar, with the primary and one more bedroom on the middle floor, a suite downstairs, and wide-open living spaces upstairs. It's all just a little bit more than you'll usually see.

East Manhattan Beach

 10 Cambridge (4br/3ba, 3058 sqft.) is an original SFR in the Village, albeit one with a rare addition – the bedroom over the garage was added by the current owners after their 2001 purchase.
