East Manhattan Beach
1401 Chestnut (3br/2ba, 1557 sqft.) represents just about the most you can do within the footprint of one of our town's original 3br homes to modernize it for contemporary living.
The kitchen is fully opened up to serve as a centerpiece for the home, with a family room and dining area sharing one open space.
There is a separate, full primary suite that gets a little bonus: An added room that's pretty much office-sized, with laundry in there as well.
The kitchen and baths are updated to a high standard, but it's notable that substantially all of the remodeling you see today was in place as it stands in 2016, when the current owners bought it.
It's testament to the prior owners' smart choices back then, not to be too trendy or cutesy with their remodel – it holds up super well a decade later. (Although, who knows, someone might want to start tweaking surfaces and fixtures anyway, for giggles.)
The use of skylights throughout the home is an easy-to-miss, not-hard-to-appreciate feature that makes almost every room shine (literally). The A/C felt good on a warm, muggy day as we visited, and we do love to see owned solar like this home has.
From the official description:
"This thoughtfully refreshed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-level residence offers the perfect blend of timeless design, modern comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The bright, open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light and seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces—creating an inviting atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully appointed kitchen features a large center island, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a brand-new dishwasher, all flowing effortlessly into the spacious living and dining areas. Privately situated, the primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat with dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a classic clawfoot soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, a versatile office or bonus space, and beautifully updated bathrooms—including all new toilets, a new vanity in the second bathroom, stylish new mirrors, and updated light fixtures—complete the thoughtfully designed interior. Step outside to a private backyard designed for year-round enjoyment.

1401 Chestnut begins at $2.395M and is open Sat. 11-1pm & Sun. 2-4pm.
1401 Chestnut is listed by Julie Lyon, Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate, Inc.
1301 19th (3br/2ba, 1671 sqft.) is near to 1401 Chestnut and broadly comparable, with 3br + a bonus space, recent remodeling and a pocket of outdoor space.
While Chestnut was aggressively priced to sell quickly, this unit starts $400K higher.
When compared directly, this one isn't quite as bright or open as Chestnut, secondary beds/baths feel a bit smaller and the location runs along a busier street (Meadows). The lot is about 900 sqft. larger.
In Dec. 2024, this one sold for $2.609M, so they're now seeking a markup of almost $200K on the resale.

1440 19th (2br/1ba, 1079 sqft.) is touted as a "starter home/development site," and yes, the 7000 sqft. lot is providing much of the value in the $2.5M asking price.
From the official description:

4101 Highland (3br/4ba, 2150 sqft.) is the next offering among a set of 4 newly constructed modern townhomes. They're redefining pricing in El Porto.
See 229 41st (sold for $4.800M) and 228 Moonstone (in escrow, asking $4.899M).
Yes they're getting high 4s on those others, but no, they're not spending a lot on marketing for this unit. For now, all we have is a crooked phone photo and a description that leans into A.I. writing (e.g., "a space that feels both elevated and effortless").
From the official description:
"The third of Ocean's 4. AMAZING VIEWS! Quiet and cozy with an elevator. Don't let Highland deter you. Positioned just moments from the sand, this newly constructed ocean-view residence introduces the clean and elegant townhome. Designed with a modern coastal aesthetic ... the home blends clean architectural lines with warm, natural finishes—creating a space that feels both elevated and effortless.
