Tree Section

2416 Palm (5br/3ba, 2808 sqft.) is a mostly original 1961 build with a pool, located on a prestige street but at the corner with Marine Ave. It is clearly presented as a major remodel-to-be, offering "just enough" square footage.

Since we mentioned Marine, we have to say that the home is strategically buffered by a high fence and greenery, and the home appears to have no windows on the North/Marine side, minimizing impacts. There are homes we see sometimes on Marine that are far more affected.

Wood paneling is prevalent throughout the home, from the entry-level living room to the large family room and storage area downstairs, as well as one downstairs bedroom. Panels, panels, panels. Oh, and popcorn ceilings.

Bedrooms are both upstairs and downstairs with the family room, which opens out to the pool.

The kitchen got an update within the last 30 years or so, and has something of a contemporary vibe, with faux wood flooring and light maple cabinets. Similarly, the sizable primary suite got something of a bathroom update that might have been around the same time.

Just about everything will get hit again, most likely, by the buyer, looking to modernize a mid-2s house to give it a $3+ value.

The home shows now in what we call the "ghost town" style, with all of the past furniture and wall hanging removes and the home cleaned, but you can still see indentations in the carpet and stains here and there from when people were living in the house. It's acceptable and a choice to present a home that's certain to be remodeled in this manner, but it does lead buyers walking through to start imagining the past residents, thinking, "What happened here?"

From the official description:

"A wonderful family home with 4 bedrooms and a den or 5 bedrooms, huge living room with a wood burning fireplace and also a spacious family room opening to the sunny east facing yard! The family room features another fireplace with a traditional raised brick hearth. The light filled kitchen is the heart of the home - spacious and remodeled with all the custom touches- pantry, pull out doors, subzero refrigerator, skylights, light hardwood floors, beautiful light maple cabinets, built in desk, and a buffet in the dining area. The living area opens to a deck with views to the east - you will see the mountains on a clear day! This home features plenty of bedrooms - a primary suite with a soaking tub, separate shower and double sinks, plus 3 or 4 additional bedrooms - one is a den or library, one could be a home office or gym or a craft room! Sunny backyard features a beautiful pool with a brick surround... just waiting for you to make it your private oasis or a grand yard for entertaining. No doubt this home needs a facelift and some TLC -some vision to imagine new finishes, and some grit to make it happen."

2416 Palm begins at $2.600M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

Hill Section

308 Anderson (4br/4ba, 2632 sqft.) is an attractive 3br mid-century modern with significant upgrades to the kitchen, baths and flooring.

There's also a bit of a yard, nice for a "tall and skinny" on one of the very nice blocks of the Hill Section.

Twice, the listing touts ocean views, but there are no photos of such, and the property hasn't yet been offered for broker tours, so that's hard to evaluate. Perhaps a peek over the horizon? Most of the past several weeks, it would have been hard to spot. So, TBD.

From the official description:

"This mid century contemporary classic four-bedroom/four-bathroom property has ocean views from the second floor and ocean, city, and mountain views from the third story "crows nest". The crows nest can be used as the fourth bedroom or alternatively as an exceptional office space. The home features vaulted ceilings, newly resurfaced recycled white oak hardwood flooring, kitchen with stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer, recessed lighting, ceiling sliding glass doors, fenced spacious backyard with waterfall structure, one and one-half car garage with ample driveway parking. The ground floor contains two bedrooms, common area an en-suite bathroom. The back bedroom has a private door leading to the backyard. The main floor area contains an open kitchen/living room floorpan, dining room area, bathroom, and master bedroom, attached master bathroom, and private patio overlooking the backyard area. Located west of Pacific Coast Highway, this single-family home is only 3 blocks north of the greenbelt, 5-10 minute walk from down Manhattan Beach, and a mere 1/2 mile from the sand. You will get unbelievable weather with this great location, not to mention it's located in an award winning school district!

320 Marine Ave. (5br/5ba, 2683 sqft.) is a full-lot duplex with two "townhome style" units.

The property hit the MLS late Friday and was not made available for broker tours.

"The front unit includes 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, oversized garage for 2 cars PLUS storage, an open floor plan, massive ceiling height and huge ocean view. The detached rear unit enters from 21st Place with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 2-car garage, a matching ocean view and soaring ceilings in the living room.
