Fewer listings tend to debut on Memorial Day weekend, and even fewer than normal seem to be open.
But what we lack in quantity we can make up for in quality. Oh my. Check out that first listing at 308 The Strand. At $36M, it's the highest asking price ever for a public listing in Manhattan Beach. For reasons.
See all links and details below, and click any address link to view all photos and property details. Listings appearing here come from the whole MB market and may or may not be represented by MB Confidential author Dave Fratello and Edge.
Open house times are listed below, but you can also click "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.
Sand Section
308 The Strand (6br/8ba, 6978 sqft.) is an extraordinary achievement in luxury home building on perhaps the finest block of homes in Manhattan Beach, and therefore anywhere on the waterfront in the region.
Really.
At $36M, it better be something, but it's really all that.
What else is extraordinary is that it joins one other Strand offering at $30M, up at 3216 The Strand, now in its 5th month on market.
What helps make 308 The Strand stand out is how the home, with the highest-end everything, is somehow muted rather than showy, confident that it's the top of the top, not needing to declare it.
Take some time to review all the photos in the listing, and take the 3D tour.
From the official description:
"This premium ocean-front luxury residence located in the 'center of the bullseye' presents a truly unique experience... The indoor and outdoor material palattes were deliberately chosen for their natural warmth, beauty, simplicity, and durability. Simply stepping through the patinated brass pivot door entryway to be greeted by a lush bamboo garden in the atrium instantly offers an undeniable zen-like feeling that should naturally embody the word 'home'."
"4 levels of expert form and function have been designed to capture the best of beach living. The entry level is dedicated to the primary suite, home office and garage entry. The oceanfront suite sits high above The Strand offering privacy while enjoying a walk-out deck that wraps effortlessly into the step-in shower with privacy louvers and overhead rain feature... [C]asual great room ... seamlessly transitions to the chef’s kitchen and out onto the open deck that frames endless views of the horizon and sweeping pier-to-pier views of the South Bay beach life... A full bar, billiards area, fire feature, waterfall, and lounge area can open right up to the beach activity or be privately controlled by panel doors and louvers... The basement level finds a guest suite, home gym, acoustically controlled 9 person home theatre, powder room, and full laundry."
