Tree Section

 2611 Pacific Avenue (4br/3ba, 3300 sqft.) is a late-80s Tree Section home with much-modernized kitchen and main baths, plus a recent, effective house-wide refresh for market.

There's a large formal living room at the entry, with 2-story ceilings and lots of high windows (on the north side, interestingly). The kitchen is uncommonly wide and long, starting with formal dining at one end, and ending at a breakfast nook looking out to the backyard.

There's one sizable ensuite bedroom downstairs, plus two large bedrooms up that share a bath. The primary suite is huge, as is common for 1980s designs, and the bath is sleek.

The whole house benefits from fresh paint, new carpet and newly sanded wood flooring.

From the official description:

"Beautifully updated home in the heart of the Tree Section. This special home has spacious, oversized rooms on each level and has been renovated throughout with a state of the art kitchen featuring Italian Bertazzoni appliances and Quartz counter tops. Each bathroom has also been extensively remodeled with cool, fresh tile work and fixtures not found in spec homes. The open floor plan with soaring ceilings creates an expansive and inviting feeling. Yet, this home is cozy enough to enjoy some quiet time in front of either of two fireplaces. Stunning primary suite with a luxurious private bath that will make you imagine that you're in a spa. Enclosed front and back yards - perfect for pets or kids or special gatherings. Walk to award winning schools, parks, and the greenbelt. Just a short distance to Live Oak Park and Downtown Manhattan Beach."

2611 Pacific Avenue begins at $3.350M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.

Sand Section

 2400 Alma Avenue (4br/4ba, 2818 sqft.) is a 2012-built modern TH with nice views.

We last saw it sell in July 2022 ($4.550M), and current photos show at least some strategic updates since then – a designer update of the kitchen, for instance.

The home was not put on broker tour Friday, so we can't fully assess the range of updates since purchase, and how they may related to the current markup over acquisition.

From the official description:

"Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and warm hardwood ceilings, this residence offers wraparound decks, a Jacuzzi, and BBQ area for gatherings with stunning, unobstructed ocean views... [A] calm with a conscious feeling of grounding, perfect for this residence with its commanding street-side presence. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a honed Calacatta Monet marble waterfall island, matching backsplash, and buffet area in the kitchen—perfect for hosting. An elevator connects all three floors, bringing you to a central AC-cooled haven where a Sonos sound system and elegant lighting, including an Arhaus chandelier over the dining area and striking Elliot Grande pendants, add a sophisticated touch. Outside, Helix Landscape designed spaces with drought-tolerant plants blend beauty and sustainability for a relaxed, inviting setting."

2400 Alma Avenue begins at $5.995M and is open Sat. 2-5pm & Sun. 1-4pm.

2400 Alma Avenue is listed by John Corrales, Vista Sotheby’s International Realty.

 221 4th Place (3br/4ba, 2500 sqft.) is another Sand Section townhome that traded recently (Oct. '23 for $3.100M) and is back on market now at a considerable markup. Unlike with 2400 Alma (above), it's not clear that much has been done recently to update the '01 build.

In sum, this 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.

From the official description:

"Elevated Living : Experience luxury and convenience in this modern 3- bedroom 3.5 bathroom, 2500 sq. ft. townhome, ideally located just steps from the beach and close to vibrant dining and shopping options. Enjoy premium upgrades throughout, including a new washer and dryer. energy saving tankless water heater, and variable- speed central air conditioning and heating.Each bedroom within the house comes with an en- suite.
