2500 Pine Avenue (3br/2ba, 1299 sqft.) is a smallish, original adobe bungalow on a great street.

The listing description states that the property has been designated a historical landmark, however, in general in Manhattan Beach that status does not prevent redevelopment. Buyers should investigate for themselves.

From the official description:

"Presenting a special residence reminiscent of years gone by. This authentic adobe bungalow, designated a historical landmark, is nestled on a leafy corner lot in the tree section and exudes hidden charm. Offering three bedrooms and two baths in 1299 square feet on a 4480 square foot lot, this original mid-century cottage was quite literally built by hand, including the beams, wallboards, and cabinets. Cozy and beloved, this family home boasts the original wood-beam ceilings, barn doors, hardwood and tile flooring, and a private patio covered in dappled sunshine through mature trees. The welcoming living room’s wall of windows lets in plentiful natural light, while a brick fireplace grounds the space and makes for cozy evenings. A long hallway leads to each room in the house, including a genuine 1950s kitchen, complete with the original sink, a small gas range and a glass patio door, to a full bath, sunny primary bedroom with French doors leading to the patio, and an additional bedroom and attached bath."

Sand Section

3005 Crest Drive (4br/4ba, 2745 sqft.) is a triplex whose main unit, in back on Crest, is built extra high and gets helicopter-tour type ocean views with little to no chance of a future view block.

In front, on Highland Ave., is a classic little beach cottage with 3 one-car garages and a rear brick patio.

That's a lot of house, or houses, with the prize being those forever views.
