Manhattan Beach New Listings (3/14-3/15/26)

Now begins "blogger apology Spring."

This is the time of year when:

(a) more new listings are coming out, deserving of attention and comment, and

(b) our business kicks into a higher gear – new clients showing up or activating every day or two – and we are pressed to prioritize. 

This week, we had more new listings, clients and transactions than new blog posts. It's gonna happen. 

That said, we saw several of the new listings this week, and kinda liked 'em.

We'll say a little about those and make sure you get this post before we get snowed under again. (It's a desk job, you say? Wanna slap a tracker on us for a week?)

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.

The name of the listing broker and agent for each property, along with any contact information supplied through the MLS, is displayed with each property, next to the price.

Sand Section

 461 26th Street (5br/6ba, 4728 sqft.) is an eye-opening, ultra-custom beauty on perhaps one of the most quiet, least-trafficked little streets with the most unusual and transfixing views. 

It's a wower.

26th is tucked right at the northern edge of Grand View Elementary, and the few homes along this stretch from Vista eastward have an uncommon vantage point, looking due south, capturing the Tree Section, the Martyrs steeple, the Sand Section, ocean and PV. 

This home takes great advantage, with nice views from the primary and even grander views from the large balcony/outdoor room on the top level. 

Oh, did we say "ultra-custom?" Start with plaster walls throughout – a detail we're seeing more in high-end new construction. Yes, that includes the ceilings. 

We can't do this all justice, but suffice it to say, this is no spec home, the floorplan and detail are tremendous, and there's a reason they're aiming for the top of the top for a home along this uncommon front row. It's fortunate that they're open both days this weekend – do yourself a favor and see a great home.

Did we do it again? Did we write more than the listing agent?

From the official description:

"[T]his architecturally striking Manhattan Beach residence immediately sets a tone of elegance and thoughtful design. Light-filled open living spaces flow seamlessly between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating an inviting setting for both relaxed daily living and effortless entertaining, while upper levels capture beautiful ocean views stretching toward Palos Verdes. Built in 2021..., the home blends refined modern architecture with the comfort and efficiency of newer construction. Venetian plaster accents add warmth and texture to the main living areas, complemented by premium flooring and curated lighting throughout. The designer kitchen features sleek custom cabinetry, high-end built-in appliances, and clean architectural lines that anchor the open-concept layout. Spacious bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, including a beautifully upgraded primary suite with a newly enhanced spa-inspired shower. A three-stop elevator connects all levels, offering convenience and long-term functionality. Additional highlights include central heating and air conditioning, energy-efficient systems, updated lighting, a dedicated laundry area, and a private garage with additional parking.Ideally situated on a rare sidewalk-lined street just steps from highly sought-after Grand View Elementary, the home offers a true neighborhood feel with exceptional convenience."

461 26th Street begins at $8.500M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-5pm.

 324 18th Street (4br/5ba, 4215 sqft.) is an ultra-glam, newer custom modern ('21 build) on one of the oft-unexplored midtown walkstreets east of Highland.

People don't know about these walkstreets enough because (1) they don't see many trades, and (2) they're not west of Highland, where they think they should be looking. 

Alas, east of Highland, these few blocks (17th-20th) contain some of the quietest walkstreets with some of the best views you can get near town. 

Someone knew that and build a 5-star-hotel-level residence to match up with the prime location. 

This one's up for private tours only, but worth a look if you value privacy, thoughtful design, views and proximity to town. Yeah, there's a few buyers like that.

We have to call out the "outdoor room" on the third floor, south side. You see the pier. You're rarely/never in direct sun. There's views everywhere. This is how the best homes should be built.

From the official description:

"Completed in 2021, the three-level residence blends refined coastal architecture with modern technology and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Fleetwood windows and doors fill the interiors with natural light while capturing ocean and iconic Manhattan Beach Pier views. Crestron home automation, whole-home audio with indoor and outdoor speakers, and surround sound enhance the living experience. The chef’s kitchen is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring double Sub-Zero refrigerators, double Sub-Zero freezers, and a dedicated wine refrigerator, complemented by a temperature-controlled wine cellar for collectors. The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat highlighted by a spa-inspired bathroom with a Mr. Steam steam shower. An elevator services all three levels for added convenience. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed for the walk street lifestyle. The generously sized walk street patio—larger than many in the Sand Section—creates an inviting setting for gathering with neighbors or hosting around the built-in firepit. Upstairs, a covered deck off the kitchen captures beautiful Manhattan Beach Pier views, with Fleetwood sliders that fully open to create a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining space while providing welcome shelter from the coastal elements. Newer custom homes of this caliber rarely become available on such a special Sand Section walk street—offering the ideal balance of privacy, park adjacency, easy beach access, and walkable proximity to the energy of downtown Manhattan Beach. All furnishings and wall art included in the sale."

324 18th Street begins at $9.700M.

 436 1st Street (4br/3ba, 1912 sqft.) is basically a complete surprise. How many times have we passed and never noticed the home?

The location backs up to Robinson elementary – seriously, it's visible from the rear and yard. But there is a lot more yard than you would ever expect in the Sand Section. And that's all ultra new/refreshed, like from a TV show.

The huge surprise is that this is a 3-level home, and that it is almost entirely updated inside. Though built in the 50s, its updates are entirely now – if squeezed in, here and there. 

If there was ever a case where you could not judge a book by its cover, this home invites you in to say "oh, here's a midsized remodel close to the school and the beach." And we almost didn't feel 1st St. as a factor.

From the official description:

"Located in the desirable South Sand Section of Manhattan Beach, this charming and fully remodeled home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 1,912 square feet of living space on an oversized 3,006 square foot lot. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a beautifully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, blending modern finishes with a warm coastal style. The private primary suite is set on its own level and features a remodeled bathroom, walk-in closet, and peaceful treetop views. The main living level includes three additional bedrooms along with the kitchen and living room, creating a comfortable and functional layout for everyday living. A spacious family room—also ideal as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, or bonus space opens directly to the backyard. The yard is unusually large for the Sand Section and offers plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining, relaxing, or play. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage and a versatile floor plan that works well for families, guests, or a home office setup. Ideally located just four blocks from the beach and only steps to Robinson Elementary School, the home offers the best of the South Manhattan Beach lifestyle with close proximity to parks, shops, restaurants, and downtown Manhattan Beach. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully remodeled home with exceptional outdoor space in one of Manhattan Beach’s most sought-after beachside neighborhoods."

436 1st Street begins at $3.750M and is open Sat. 1-4pm & Sun. 2-4pm.

 1000 The Strand (10br/9ba, 5967 sqft.) sold for $21.000M in May 2017, got decent upgrades, and has been offered back for sale for a long time since.

Two listings logged slightly over 1,000 market days from 2019-20 and 2023-25, with askings at high as $30.0M and, most recently, $24.9M. It's now at $25M.

We thought it relevant that the prior listing described there being 4 units on site. The current listing makes no reference, in the text or details, to the 4 units. This might be important to get straight, however, as the state's "no net loss" rule could impact redevelopment on the site. 

From the official description:

"Commanding one of the most prominent corner positions on The Strand, 1000 The Strand is a rare multi-generational legacy coastal compound spanning approximately 6,000 square feet on an oversized, elevated lot along the coveted south-facing stretch of Manhattan Beach's most prestigious coastline. With sweeping Pacific Ocean views and a privileged vantage above the boardwalk, the residence offers a level of presence and architectural scale seldom found along this celebrated shoreline. A spectacular 400-square-foot oceanfront terrace overlooks the Pacific and the iconic Manhattan Beach Pier, serving as the home's signature gathering space... Rarely do properties of this scale and positioning come to market along The Strand. 1000 The Strand represents a true trophy estate and an opportunity to secure one of Manhattan Beach's most exceptional oceanfront residences."

1000 The Strand begins at $25.000M.

1000 The Strand is listed by Nicole Plaxen, Sotheby's International Realty.

Tree Section

 2100 Pine Ave (5br/5ba, 3180 sqft.) is a super-custom and highly inspired build from 2008, which we're appreciated much in the past. As lovely as it is, it's a frequent flyer on the market, for whatever reason.

From the official description:

"[A] custom-crafted residence distinguished by warmth, architectural character, and an exceptional level of detail. Built in 2008 and meticulously maintained, the home offers five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and approximately 3,180 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. From the moment you arrive, the home conveys a sense of story and substance that is increasingly rare. Rich with bespoke detail, the interiors are defined by beamed ceilings, walnut floors, custom millwork, and beautifully layered finishes that bring depth, texture, and timeless appeal to every room. Thoughtfully designed and deeply inviting, the home balances refined craftsmanship with effortless livability. At the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring an oversized Calacatta marble island, a 48-inch six-burner Wolf range with grill, abundant storage, and a butler’s pantry with wine refrigerator. Adjacent living spaces open seamlessly to a private backyard retreat complete with a built-in outdoor kitchen, fireplace, additional wine refrigerator and dedicated dining area designed for year-round entertaining."

2100 Pine Ave is listed by Lisa Bourque, eXp Realty of California Inc.

 3521 Pine Avenue (3br/2ba, 1664 sqft.) is a single-level super remodel, which proved to be very desirable when first offered in Summer 2023.

It sold within 7 days and closed $160K above asking at $2.660M then. Can we just say, that was not the wildest time in the market, but this home flew. 

From the official description:

"Beautifully remodeled and filled with natural light, this charming single-level home in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Tree Section offers the perfect blend of coastal style, thoughtful design, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Extensively renovated with high-quality finishes throughout, the home features beautiful white oak floors, an open floor plan, and spaces designed for comfortable everyday living and relaxed entertaining.

 3112 Laurel (3br/2ba, 2132 sqft.) is a hard one to figure as it lies. 

The home is uncommonly configured, with an almost-too-darn-open main living space (remodeled kitchen at the center), plus a couple of unusual bedrooms upstairs. There are very high ceilings, ultra-knotty/rustic painted walls, and bathrooms that aren't all exactly what we've ever seen before. 

The lot slopes down toward the yard and pool, and there's a room (bedroom?) with a bath down there, but no connection to the house indoors. 

Headline: this is a lot-and-a-half, nearly 7000 sqft., with development potential that is far more obvious than the answer to the question of "how do we actually live here?"

From the official description:

"Development opportunity on 6,961 sq ft lot. Updated Classic 4 bedroom, 3 bath Manhattan Beach Home in the Tree Section. Close to Greenbelt, Downtown, and award winning schools. Spacious, light & bright, indoor-outdoor living. Private front yard patio, Expansive backyard, Salt Water Pool, mature trees, and outdoor shower. Open great-room with high ceilings. 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms on main level. Downstairs bedroom/bathroom is private with separate entrance. Central A/C, 2 car garage. Classic Manhattan Beach VIBE. Sold "AS-IS"."

3112 Laurel begins at $3.100M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-3pm.

East Manhattan Beach

 5 Nantucket (3br/3ba, 1970 sqft.) is a remodeled Plan 8, among the favorite of the Village TH floorplans thanks to a primary suite on the first floor. 

From the official description:

"Ideally situated within the community of the Manhattan Village, this property is tucked away on a cul-de-sac with privacy. This highly sought after plan 8 townhome features a main floor primary suite with a walk-in closet, vaulted ceilings, and French doors leading out to the patio.

 5 Cordoba Court (2br/2ba, 1465 sqft.) is an upgraded Plan 1 unit.

From the official description:

"Beautiful and filled with light, this desirable updated PLAN 1 townhome features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living spaces, a built-in desk area, an oversized outdoor patio, a balcony off the primary suite, and a private (with direct access) 2-car garage.

5 Cordoba Court is listed by Cindy Shearin, Strand Hill Properties.

 1320 Curtis (3br/2ba, 1600 sqft.) is a single-level, largely original cottage that lands as a "tweener" on the scale of "ready for a remodel, or ready for a new build?" 

The lot features a rear portion with a steep downslope that could make for some challenges with an all-new build.

From the official description:

"Rare opportunity in a prime Manhattan Beach location just one block from Pennekamp Elementary and two blocks from Mira Costa High School. Situated on a quiet street in a highly desirable neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers exceptional potential for renovation, expansion, or a custom rebuild.

Additional features include direct access to a two-car garage with laundry area and a functional layout ready to be reimagined. The property is a fixer, offering a rare chance to create a custom home in one of the most sought-after pockets of Manhattan Beach, close to top-rated schools, parks, and local amenities."

1320 Curtis begins at $1.995M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

1320 Curtis is listed by Nick Cohan, Beach City Brokers.

 1140 Manhattan Beach D (2br/3ba, 1190 sqft.)

From the official description:

"Tucked quietly away from the buzz of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, this charming, modern, rear-unit townhome is the kind of hidden gem buyers are always hoping to find - private, stylish, and right in the center of everything. With 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, this home delivers the best of both worlds: peaceful living with incredible convenience just outside your door. Step inside to a bright, welcoming living space designed for easy coastal living, featuring a cozy fireplace and an updated kitchen, perfect for everything from laid-back weeknight dinners to hosting friends before heading downtown. The home truly shines when it comes to indoor-outdoor flow, offering two separate outdoor spaces, including a private backyard - a rare find in this price point - ideal for morning coffee, a sunset spritz, or weekend BBQ. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite with ensuite bath provides a relaxing retreat, while the second bedroom with its own adjacent full bathroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or growing households. An upstairs laundry area adds everyday ease, and the attached two-car garage with extra storage makes beach life that much more practical. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat: about a mile to the sand and Downtown Manhattan Beach, and just minutes to Polliwog Park, Target, Trader Joe’s, Manhattan Beach award-winning dining, shopping, and top-rated schools, with convenient commuter access to LAX and the freeways. Homes that combine privacy, outdoor space, modern updates, and this level of central convenience rarely come along - and once you step inside, you’ll understand why."

1140 Manhattan Beach D begins at $1.325M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.
