East Manhattan Beach
1709 23rd Street (4br/4ba, 2842 sqft.) is a remarkable, break-the-mold new construction home in Liberty Village.
The entry into the great room, with high ceilings and lots of windows, is a bold statement, with the style owing a debt to mid-century modern. Everything opens nicely to a mostly hardscaped pocket backyard.
The ample primary suite is actually downstairs, along with a second bedroom, while two more beds upstairs share a hallway bath. There's a fun landing/loft space upstairs also.

Tree Section
1720 Oak Avenue (4br/4ba, 3471 sqft.) is a generously sized 1980s original that’s been transformed inside and out with a level of remodeling that feels almost like a newly built home. The current owners – who got it 4 years ago – have put in new flooring and made other changes that take it up a notch from before.
The main level is remarkably open. The kitchen and dining area stretch wide and flow straight into both the family room and living room. The walls that once separated these two spaces are long gone; now the fireplace is the only element defining the rooms.
Yes, the home sits on the east side of Oak. But the orientation is smart: no windows look toward Sepulveda, and a tall rear fence screens out most of what’s behind.
From the official description:
"Thoughtfully reimagined with a clean coastal aesthetic, the home blends timeless architecture with sophisticated, modern finishes throughout. A welcoming formal entry with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light sets the tone, complemented by wide-plank white oak floors that flow seamlessly throughout the home. The kitchen opens to an inviting family room and features stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a charming breakfast nook—perfect for everyday living. Designed for both comfort and connection, the open layout links the light-filled formal living room with the spacious family room, anchored by a striking dual-sided fireplace framed in classic wainscoting... Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms and a dedicated office provide flexibility for family life and remote work. Three full bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with fresh, coastal-inspired finishes. The spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a marble fireplace, and a beautifully renovated spa-like bath designed with elevated finishes and timeless style. Extensive improvements over the past four years include a comprehensive remodel throughout the home (excluding the kitchen), a new roof, dual-zoned A/C, new water heater, custom modern stair railing, and refined designer details that elevate every space."
1720 Oak Avenue begins at $3.999M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

642 14th (4br/4ba, 2311 sqft.) offers a prime position on one of the great streets of the Martyrs area, with mountain views in one direction and legit ocean views in another.
Why aren't we talking about the house more? This roughly 6000 sqft. lot holds most of the value.
They're starting at $4.600M, which is pretty much where the fixer/scraper home at 600 15th recently began, before it closed for $6.000M.
You'd also look at 1315 Church, a corner-lot 70s home that's just steps away with similar views. It sold for "only" $2.800M in October last year, after a start at $3.500M. The lot size there is a major difference: just over 4000 sqft.
From the official description:
"Located on the prestigious American Martyrs Hill, 642 14th Street is a bright and spacious coastal home offering vaulted ceilings, expansive ocean and city views, and a thoughtfully designed layout just moments from downtown Manhattan Beach and top local schools... The kitchen, open in design, features generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, and ample storage, along with a breakfast bar ideal for more casual dining. The main level houses three secondary bedrooms, each carrying through the same charming vaulted wood-beamed ceilings that add warmth and character to the home. One of the bedrooms features an ensuite bathroom with a glass shower, while the other two share an additional full bathroom... The home also features a new roof installed within the last two years. Ascending to the second floor, the primary suite awaits. Generously sized, this space serves as a tranquil private retreat with sensational ocean and city views. The suite features tall vaulted ceilings, exceptional natural light, an ensuite bathroom."

3200 Elm Avenue (5br/5ba, 3109 sqft.) is an early-aughts Mediterranean that ran a few months on market last year, and has been a FSBO for a while. The current MLS listing is more or less FSBO, also, with the seller using a service that just posts to the MLS for a flat fee.
Last year, at least, the home was staged and there was a thoughtful description. Everything is flatter now, but it is an available property on the market.
From the official description:
"Magnificent Manhattan Beach Tree Section Mediterranean Home – 5 bedroom 4.5 bathroom single family home in Manhattan Beach. Complete with vaulted ceilings, hardwood and marble flooring, and stainless steel kitchen appliances including stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. Laundry room on 2nd floor with washer/dryer. Formal dining room, living room and den. Guest bedroom on first floor with full bath, and 4 bedrooms including master suite on 2nd floor.

1940 N Ardmore (2br/1ba, 809 sqft.) is a small fixer that will draw attention due to its (relatively) low price.

Hill Section
621 6th (3br/4ba, 4259 sqft.) is a custom contemporary tucked into the lower Hill Section, offering cool treetop and rooftop views across the greenbelt and into the Sand Section. There's even a hint of ocean blue if you’re looking for it.
The architecture reflects the home's late‑80s origins, but the home is crisp, well‑kept and entirely usable as‑is. Every surface is ready for you to update on your own timeline, whether you take it on all at once or evolve it room by room.
Blogger's gripe: Most of the photos appear to be taken from a phone, and indeed, many are vertical, which makes them hard to use here.
This home last traded in 2022 for $4.850M.
From the official description:
"Settled in the coveted Hill Section of Manhattan Beach, this extraordinary custom residence—designed by Pat Killen, widely regarded as a founding father of modernist architecture in the South Bay—offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, breathtaking ocean views, and effortless California coastal living. Southwest-facing panoramas stretch across the Pacific to Catalina Island, filling the home with natural light and a constant connection to the sea. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home honors its architectural heritage while embracing modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, skylights, and expansive windows illuminate the interiors, highlighting refinished original oak floors and Killen’s timeless design. Recent upgrades include new air conditioning and water heater, fresh interior paint, curated landscaping, new appliances, an EV charging station, and a fully integrated indoor-outdoor sound system... The living room with fireplace opens to a view deck, while a dining area off the kitchen, breakfast bar, and family room connecting to the backyard create an ideal indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
