Sand Section

1800 The Strand (5br/7ba, 5329 sqft.) is a great corner-lot home on the waterfront.

Even if most of us can't afford it, you gotta take a good look.

From the official description:

"Quite simply one of the best combinations of Strand location, orientation and home ever built on the Strand. Located on arguably the best corner lot on the Strand, this spectacular, custom-built home features a commitment to quality and attention to detail that literally set the bar for Strand elegance. Custom built ... at over $700/sq ft (in 2001 dollars), this home features 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms in over 5,300sf, with an open floor plan that functions beautifully while maximizing natural light and world class ocean views."

"Enjoy, an often not contemplated, perfect buffer from downtown, which translates into a short stroll to dinner, but far enough to avoid congestion. With the rare, sought after southern exposure of a north corner lot, the home is designed around capturing the most prized, signature views on the Strand: the Manhattan Beach Pier, PV Peninsula and Catalina Island. You won’t just entertain your guests, you will dazzle them."

95 Highland Avenue (2br/2ba, 1289 sqft.) is a super stylish, compact 3br in a building that feels kind of iconic, right at the border with Hermosa. (Indeed, we had to check this was really a Manhattan Beach property... it is.)

This is half of a duplex; number 97 is the corner unit and it is the one that gets access to an outdoor area with ocean views, not the for-sale unit at 95.

Crisp, fully renewed and efficient, this is a cutie. Sound from Highland did not appear to be much of a factor during our visit.

From the official description:
