Manhattan Beach New Listings (6/24-6/25/23)

Whatever the heck was up with last week's virtual boycott – really few sellers bringing new listings to market – this week, at least we can be grateful for new Sand Section options and some more in East Manhattan.

Still waiting on the Tree Section or Hill to provide something new. You do know buyers are hungry, right?

Open house times for new listings are listed below, but you can also click SEARCHES then "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.

The name of the listing broker and agent for each property, along with any contact information supplied through the MLS, is displayed with each property, next to the price.

Sand Section

2412 Manhattan Ave. (4br/4ba, 2480 sqft.) is a newer (2018) modern TH with some nice ocean views down the 24th Place alley street.

The vibe is definitely a light, warm modern, not too strident in any direction, just simple and elegant.

The middle (entry) floor hosts the primary suite up front with some views and a balcony, plus two more bedrooms. A good-size 4th bedroom suite is downstairs.

The top floor living spaces are as open and bright as one could hope, with a nice integration of the front patio with the living spaces.

Quirk: Other than the primary suite's soaking tub, we didn't see a tub in any other bathroom.

East Manhattan Beach

1208 23rd St. (3br/3ba, 2157 sqft.) boasts a 1940s build date but some additions that would appear to be more from the 70s-80s.

The floorplan is relatively open for an older home, with a bonus sunroom/family room in the back that definitely rates as a plus feature.

Oh, there's work to do, lots of it. There's evidence of deferred maintenance, even a partway completed mold remediation/repair.

1 Cordoba Ct. (3br/3ba, 1972 sqft.) is a Plan 4 corner unit with a tri-level setup, with the primary suite essentially half way up to the 2nd floor that hosts 2 other bedrooms.

Upgrades appear to date to the late 90s/early 2000s. The galley style kitchen in these Plan 4 units is sometimes "opened up" to the living room on the other side, but not so in this case.

From the official description:

"This stunning home offers the utmost comfort, convenience, and elegance...
