The Tree Section has seen a number of properties sell very quickly recently, with multiple offers, and this week, it's got two priced under $2.300M, perhaps positioned for another couple of bidding wars.
But a lot of attention will focus on the first listing noted below, on a nice block of East Manhattan, at 1450 6th. Pretty, pretty.
Open house times for new listings are listed below, but you can also click SEARCHES then "Open Houses" at the top of our site, which displays all the Manhattan Beach open houses. There are also links right at the top to Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach opens.

East Manhattan Beach
1450 6th Street (6br/6ba, 4537 sqft.) is a gorgeous, spacious and upgraded 2008 original, with pleasant traditional style.
From the official description:
"There’s a quiet confidence to this Manhattan Beach residence — a feeling that every space, every finish, every detail was chosen with intention. Thoughtfully remodeled and impeccably curated, the home feels less like a traditional property and more like a carefully composed retreat, where architecture, light, materials and vibes come together to create something truly distinctive. Spanning approximately 4,537 square feet, the interior unfolds with an effortless flow, defined by high ceilings, custom built-ins, and a refined yet relaxed coastal palette. Natural light moves gracefully throughout the home, highlighting layered textures, warm wood tones, and carefully selected details that give the space depth and soul. Nothing feels mass-produced; everything feels considered. Even the light fixtures tell a story... An oversized island, premium paneled appliances, to die-for light fixtures, walk-in pantry, and a seamless transition to the surrounding living spaces make it equally suited for quiet mornings and lively evenings. A discreet wet bar adds an effortless touch of understated hospitality. Multiple living areas offer space to gather or retreat, allowing the home to adapt naturally to the rhythms of daily life. Upstairs and down, five (or six) beautifully appointed bedrooms provide privacy and comfort... Set on an expansive flat 7,500-square-foot lot in one of Manhattan Beach’s most cherished neighborhoods, the home offers rare scale and presence, located just moments from the beach, award-winning schools, and the coastal energy that defines the community."
1450 6th Street begins at $5.300M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.
1450 6th Street is listed by Lynne Lear, Pacifica Properties Group, Inc.
1852 6th (5br/3ba, 3882 sqft.) is a bold, restyled home with a sizable yard.
It's back this year with a new agent after trying for a while last year almost $300K higher.
Props for a listing description that turns a location feature – being right along Aviation Blvd. – into a plus, noting "the absence of an eastern neighbor," with a resulting "open, retreat-like feel." Sell it!
From the official description:
"This 3,822 SF (BTV) custom residence is thoughtfully planned to balance elevated design with relaxed, everyday comfort. Positioned on a rare, flat 7,500+ square foot lot in a highly regarded Manhattan Beach neighborhood, the property offers a sense of space, privacy, and easy indoor-outdoor living. The home features five well-proportioned bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a flexible layout that accommodates both entertaining and daily routines. Expansive living areas extend to a generous covered patio complete with an outdoor kitchen and spa, creating a natural setting for gatherings or quiet downtime. A broad turf backyard and oversized front yard provide room for play and leisure, while mature landscaping and the absence of an eastern neighbor enhance the home’s open, retreat-like feel. The kitchen serves as a natural gathering point, appointed with premium appliances, tailored cabinetry, a substantial quartz island, and ample pantry space. Throughout the home, finishes feel intentional and enduring, including white oak flooring, custom tile details, a glass-enclosed wine cellar, and refined, spa-style bathrooms... Upstairs, the primary suite offers a calm, private escape, complemented by additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a second laundry room that adds ease and functionality. Located within close proximity to parks, tennis and pickleball courts, Award Winning Pennekamp, MBMS and Mira Costa schools..."

Tree Section
2508 Pine (5br/4ba, 3077 sqft.) is a nicely done custom Mediterranean, with a vibe of the early aughts.
We weren't able to visit brokers' opens, and therefore missed the "architecturally detailed powder room."
You can easily see that the detail work is extra/extra, as may befit a home designed by an architect for his own family.
From the official description:
"This distinguished Manhattan Beach residence is the longtime personal home of celebrated architect David Watson, whose Mediterranean Revival influence is reflected throughout the home’s thoughtful and sophisticated design. Upon entering, an elegant foyer welcomes you with an architecturally detailed powder room and sightlines into the main living areas. Formal living and dining spaces sit just beyond designed for intimate gatherings and entertaining... The kitchen includes a recently replaced built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, dual ovens, a breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. Two fireplaces are located on the main level, both gas-ignited and wood-burning, adding character and functionality. The adjacent elegant office contains two sets of French doors and overlooks a private interior courtyard framed by a fountain and a majestic bougainvillea-laced tower containing the romantic, winding ironwork staircase inside."
"Upstairs, the home offers five bedrooms, including the primary suite, a junior suite, and three secondary bedrooms. The west-facing primary suite features dual walk-in closets, a Juliet terrace, and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, glass shower, and a private water closet. The junior suite–also west-facing–includes dual walk-in closets, a private terrace, a Juliet balcony, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass shower. A full bathroom with dual vanities serves the secondary bedrooms, and an upper-level laundry room adds functionality. The backyard serves as a private sanctuary anchored by stately trees including a striking double-trunk avocado, along with an outdoor firepit and a barbecue bar with stovetop... Additional features include a two-car garage and a premier location near the greenbelt providing access to downtown Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village, parks, and scenic walking paths."
2508 Pine begins at $4.250M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.

3508 Maple (3br/2ba, 1899 sqft.) is refreshingly described simply as it is here – "older" and "[n]eeds some updating" but overall decent and functional.
Asking "only" $2.299M, it's priced below smaller homes that sold last year nearby. Don't sleep on it if you're open to a project.
From the official description:
"Great older Family Home with Good size Rooms and functional Floorplan. Needs some updating but very liveable and has a lot of potential. This single level house has a Kitchen that opens to a Family Room with Hardwood Floors and a Fireplace that looks outside to a private Backyard with a Patio. There is also a Dining Room along with a Living Room at the entry of the house. Beautiful big Tree in Grassy frontyard with attached 2 Car Garage. Located in a wonderful residential neighborhood that is close to Freeway access and LAX with Excellent Manhattan Beach School District and awesome weather year round. Property to be sold "as is" without any repairs. Trust sale."
3508 Maple begins at $2.299M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

1728 Oak (4br/3ba, 1996 sqft.) is another entry in the midsized range to hit the Tree Section early this year.
(We'd define midsized as around 1800-2500 sqft. in most cases; at any rate, well shy of the 3000 sqft. that characterizes a more full-featured family-size home.)
And thanks to location and condition (needing updates), they've priced this one even lower than the single-level home on Maple referenced just above.
Can you really get a 4br home for $2.199M? Or are you just joining a line of bidders who will help establish a higher price?
Notable: This area is one we've commended recently, after a recent sale set a PPSF record on Oak. We said:
If there's a sweet spot on Oak, it's probably around 17th, which is eminently walkable to Pacific Elementary (and Martyrs), not too close to MB Blvd., not too far from other stuff. You can see how buyers make the calculation: Sure, Oak represents a location challenge, but this particular part is actually convenient – a location with upside. Quite a balancing act."
From the official description:
"A rare and exciting opportunity in the heart of the Tree Section of Manhattan Beach. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, 1728 Oak Avenue features generous, well cared for living space that’s perfectly comfortable today, with endless potential to elevate and create something truly special over time. Set on a flat, elevated lot, the home enjoys a sense of quiet and privacy that must be experienced to be appreciated. The expansive yard invites effortless indoor-outdoor living ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or envisioning future enhancements including the potential to convert the existing garage into an ADU for additional livable space. Living west of Pacific Coast Highway means embracing the quintessential Manhattan Beach lifestyle: walk your kids to award-winning schools, hop on your bike for a quick ride to the beach, and enjoy all the charm and convenience this coveted neighborhood has to offer."
1728 Oak begins at $2.199M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

Sand Section
320 35th Street (4br/5ba, 2450 sqft.) returns to market after running about 6 weeks late last year.
We don't always feature re-lists in our "new listings" posts, but this one was easy to miss last November/December, and there is also a new MLS policy relating to re-lists... This property was off market for about 40 days, more than 30 days, which is now the limited amount of time needed to be off MLS to reset the count of "combined days active on MLS." (Our system used to keep that "combined" days count unless a property was off-market for 90+ days.)
Notable: The price this year is $200K over last year's price. It's nice to see some optimism about the townhome market. Let's see if it's warranted.
From the official description:
"Experience captivating ocean views of the majestic Pacific Ocean and vast sky above unfolding throughout the day in movement from the comfort of your own home. Entertain with ease as you slide open your wall of glass doors to enjoy the expansive indoor-outdoor living with over 450 square feet of ocean view balconies seamlessly adjoining your open concept living level. Just three blocks from the beach and steps from beloved restaurants, coffee houses and spas in the heart of Manhattan Beach’s vibrant north end, this like-new, modern style townhome offers the dream coastal lifestyle you’ve earned. Leave your car charging in the garage all weekend long and get the flip flops out. Views with sophisticated style. Privacy with proximity. Security with space, for loved ones or hobbies or both. Come in from the beach, shower off, and prepare dinner as the sunset enchants everyone lounging around the kitchen island, full of top-of-the-line Thermador appliances. Step out from the living room to BBQ as you watch the sun dip below the horizon. Every bedroom enjoys its’ own bathroom. The lower level fourth bedroom suite is so spacious it could be used as a man cave, guest bedroom or bonus living room with an office. This home has been so impeccably maintained it is the definition of turnkey for those with a demanding job or busy schedule; just bring your toothbrush."
320 35th Street begins at $3.995M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.
