Sand Section

 405 10th Street (4br/4ba, 2508 sqft.) is a retro-cool walkstreet duplex.

For those who say they want to be in a walkable location near town, this one offers a huge exclamation point. It IS downtown. The rear part of the property connects to the periphery of the beach Vons, and if the city develops the former US Bank branch at Morningside and MBB as planned, the backyard could be a splendid new pedestrian plaza with restaurants at the gateway to downtown. 

The building is mostly what you'd expect in a 60s structure with some fun, modern updates to the main house.

They really went to town on the sizable primary suite upstairs, where the bath actually has no walls separating it from the bedroom area. (It's a choice.) 

The rear patio is paved with gravel and features a sizable in-ground hot tub framed in pondstone. It's all a pretty inspired package, with a bonus unit over the garage. 

From the official description:

"Located on one of Manhattan Beach’s most coveted flat walk streets, just moments from downtown and the beach, 405 10th Street is a charming south-facing coastal residence offering inviting interiors, generous outdoor living, and a rare detached guest house. Entering from the walk street, the home welcomes you into a warm, light-filled floor plan where formal living and dining areas overlook the picturesque walk street. Oversized windows, southern exposure, and rich hardwood floors create an inviting setting, while a floor-to-ceiling fireplace anchors the living room. Glass sliders off the dining area open to a tiered front terrace with multiple spaces for dining, lounging, and entertaining. At the center of the home, the kitchen and family room unfold through an open-concept design. Centered around a large island, the freshly painted kitchen features stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, a wine refrigerator, gas cooktop, built-in refrigerator, and ample cabinetry. Beyond, the family room offers a comfortable secondary living space overlooking the private center yard, sun deck, and in-ground spa. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both secondary bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, oversized architectural windows, generous closets, and access to a full bathroom. Overlooking the walk street, the primary suite offers vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and oversized glass sliders opening to a private terrace. The ensuite bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower, freestanding soaking tub, private water closet, and generous cedar-lined closet with custom built-ins. Outside, the center yard and sun deck create a private setting for dining, entertaining, and relaxing. A spa beneath a pergola and outdoor shower further enhance the Southern California lifestyle. The property also offers exceptional parking with a three-car driveway and three-car garage."

405 10th Street begins at $5.400M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.

 229 31st Street (5br/3ba, 2060 sqft.) is a truly different kind of offering – a full-lot duplex plus a half-lot garden on the walkstreet side. You might want a garden, but c'mon, this is a double-wide walkstreet frontage that you just don't see. 

Do you think everyone else is going to miss what this means?

From the official description:

"Amazing opportunity to own this rare and exceptional 1-1/2 lot walkstreet property in the highly sought-after Sand Section of Manhattan Beach.

229 31st Street is listed by Sherry LaMaison, Estate Properties.

 2512 Ocean (3br/3ba, 1163 sqft.) is an end-unit condo that maybe does not look like much outside, but inside is modernized, climate-controlled and efficient in ways you'd expect of a vintage apartment in NYC, SF or perhaps London. (None of which really has anything like our beaches.)

Add to that 3 covered spaces and an outdoor spot suitable for a golf cart or e-bike, and you've got an easy weekend spot or STR.

From the official description:

"[B]eautifully remodeled coastal-inspired end-unit condominium offering approximately 1,163 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in one of Manhattan Beach’s most sought-after coastal neighborhoods. With only one common wall, located along the office, the residence offers an exceptional level of privacy rarely found in a condominium. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a clean, sophisticated coastal aesthetic and a focus on both style and functionality. The open living spaces are complemented by a dedicated office, 2 beds, 2.5 baths. The kitchen features refinished cabinetry, a refreshed backsplash, and elegant Caesarstone countertops with a striking waterfall edge. Windows and flooring were replaced in 2020, along with a full interior repaint, while automatic shades were added to the top level that same year. Comfort extends throughout the home with mini-split air conditioning in both bedrooms and the top floor. The upper-level living space opens to a private deck with an awning, gas connection and a peak a boo ocean view, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or enjoying the coastal surroundings. Adding to the home’s exceptional functionality is a rare three-car, side-by-side-by-side garage, providing abundant parking and storage."

2512 Ocean is listed by Giovanni Altamura, S C Real Estate.

 417 23rd Street (3br/4ba, 1895 sqft.) is a bright 90s TH with a newer kitchen and flooring upstairs and on the first level. 

From the official description:

"BEST Sand Section VALUE! And, READY FOR MOVE-IN! This home is conveniently located between DOWNTOWN and the “NORTH END” in the sought-after SAND SECTION of MANHATTAN BEACH. This location is ideally located for walking to all the city has to offer. In addition, you are just a few blocks from THE STRAND … the paved walkway that runs parallel to the beach for walking, biking, jogging, and more. A quick walk to Grandview Elementary School is a big plus! The PREFERRED CORNER LOCATION, on a desirable neighborhood street, allows for additional light and an open space feel. Upon entering the home, there is a dramatic multi-story open floor plan that allows light to flood the space, maximizing the bringing of the outdoors indoors. (WATCH the VIDEO in this LISTING). The generously sized kitchen has recently been remodeled with new cabinetry and appliances, as well as a window and glass door to the RARE FIND ... an adjacent exterior BBQ deck. This helps make your daily meal plans and entertaining ideal. The living space is spacious and open. A bi-fold door in the living space allows you to further open up the area, bringing the outside deck into the home. In addition, there are double doors off the dining room area that further allow you to open doors for easy access to the outdoor space and the ocean breeze.

"In addition, another RARE FIND is a separate entrance/stairs that allow you to access the main living floor from outside the home. The OUTSIDE YARD is also a RARE FIND for this area. This SPACE offers so many options to create what works best for your lifestyle."

"This makes it more convenient for allowing pets access to a side yard from within the home, taking out your trash or having easy access to additional parking in your side yard for a CAR, GOLF CART, E-BIKES, SURF BOARDS, or ?? The PRIMARY SUITE is in the ideal location and features two walk-in closets, a balcony, and a generously sized bathroom that offers a soaking tub and a walk-in shower, a double-sink vanity with storage, and a fireplace to set the ultimate ambiance. The two additional bedrooms are also en-suite, with nicely appointed bathrooms and one with access to the outdoors."

417 23rd Street begins at $2.975M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

417 23rd Street is listed by Cindy Shearin, Strand Hill Properties.

 716 Manhattan Beach Boulevard (3br/3ba, 1422 sqft.) debuted just 2 weeks ago with a different agent, who then coded it property as being in the Hill Section. For whatever reason, it's back now $99K lower and inappropriately coded as Sand Section.

From the official description:

"Welcome to this beautifully remodeled home offering the perfect blend of comfort, style, and coastal living. Just a short distance from the beach, this spacious residence features high ceilings, abundant natural light, and an inviting open-concept layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen is a standout, featuring premium Viking appliances, updated finishes, and plenty of workspace for the home chef. Ceiling fans throughout provide added comfort, while the private balcony creates the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. The home offers a flexible three-bedroom layout, with two bedrooms conveniently located on the main floor and a third bedroom on the upper level, providing privacy and versatility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. A Murphy bed adds even more functionality and makes accommodating overnight guests effortless. For relaxation, enjoy your own sauna—an ideal retreat after a long day at the beach. A spacious two-car garage provides secure parking and additional storage."

Hill Section

 931 Duncan Avenue (6br/7ba, 4910 sqft.) is newer construction in the southern part of the Hill Section. 

If it seems familiar at all, there's a reason: This home was new not long ago, and sold in Jan. 2025, not quite 2 years ago (for $8.945M). 

By this time last year, they were offering the home up for rent. You see this sometimes – people "must have" a house, then don't stick around.  

Asking price today is only about $200K over acquisition – not nearly enough, with costs of sale, to recoup the purchase price.

And they did a bit of work, too, which we appreciated on our recent visit. 

When brand new, the home had a stark, generic feel. Maybe it was the use of pure-white paint, which was on its last legs stylistically at the time. Maybe it was blah staging back then. Who's to say? They deleted all the old photos in the MLS so there's not much to go by now to compare.

We mean this as a contrast to the appealing, well-presented and warmer version of the home that's on display now. The current (short-term) owners added some custom colors, built-ins and fixtures, and made the home feel like... a home.

This build does a lot on a ~4800 sqft. plot. You'll find the primary suite up front on the (middle) entry level, with a nice ocean peek. The balance of main bedrooms are also on this floor. 

A sizable basement media room (shown now with a monster cinema TV) is complemented by not one but two ensuite spare bedrooms, plus a half bath. The top floor is wide-open, with high ceilings and a large deck out front, the best spot to capture ocean views to the south. (Maybe Catalina on a clear day.)  

We liked the current staging, although we'd have to say the photos seem a bit dim and maybe even sepia-tone-filtered? The home is crisp, clear and bright in person. Ready for a big Hill Section home? Here's a lightly used one with views.

A part of the last line of the description stuck with us: "Sophisticated without formality and coastal without cliché." If you know what that means, please let us know.

From the official description:

"[A] study in warm, modern coastal design, where natural light, organic materials, and thoughtful architecture come together against an elevated ocean backdrop. From the moment you enter, the home feels both striking and serene, balancing clean contemporary lines with a warmth that makes each space inviting. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, wide-plank wood floors, and expansive windows create an airy sense of scale, while oversized glass doors open the main living space to a view deck, seamlessly connecting indoors and out. At the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs timeless design with relaxed California style, featuring an oversized island, abundant cabinetry, professional-style appliances, and warm wood accents. Open to the dining and living areas, it creates a natural gathering place for everything from casual mornings to evenings spent entertaining. Statement lighting, custom built-ins, fireplaces, soft neutral finishes, and layers of natural texture carry throughout the home, giving the interiors a sophisticated yet welcoming feel. Beyond the main gathering spaces, an intimate media room and wet bar create a different setting for movie nights, entertaining, or unwinding. Beautifully appointed secondary bedrooms and flexible living areas offer space for family, guests, a home office, or whatever life calls for. The primary suite is a private retreat, complete with its own fireplace, terrace, walk-in closet, and serene spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub, oversized shower, and dual vanities. Outdoor living unfolds across multiple distinct spaces. Expansive decks and patios embrace the home’s elevated setting, while a private backyard offers a more intimate place for lounging, dining, play, or simply enjoying the coastal air... Sophisticated without formality and coastal without cliché, Duncan captures a distinctly Manhattan Beach approach to luxury—light-filled, beautifully considered, and designed for the way life here is meant to be lived."

931 Duncan Avenue begins at $9.149M and is open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm.

Tree Section

 3501 Maple Avenue (4br/4ba, 3404 sqft.) is a corner-lot remodel with a familiar floorplan. Despite running along 35th fairly close to the refinery, the home seems to successfully avoid having that industrial site too prominently in frame or as part of the environment. 

The kitchen is giant, with extra ovens and tons of open space and counter space. Remodels to the baths are largely inspired – and different.

This is now the 4th active listing in the Trees from the 3400 block or northward. But our sense is that its separation from Rosecrans/refinery is just a little better than the others. Let's see what buyers say.

From the official description:

"[A] beautifully updated and distinguished residence in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Tree Section, where coastal living, convenience, and tranquility come together. Situated on a quiet, wide residential street, this home offers a peaceful neighborhood setting... A thoughtfully designed floor plan, complemented by soaring ceilings, provides the luxury of an en-suite bath for every bedroom. The main level features a private bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or extended family, along with a separate powder room for added convenience. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each enjoy their own en-suite baths, including an exceptional primary retreat conceived as a tranquil sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, private balcony, and spa-inspired bath. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen, beautifully appointed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a 5-burner range, three ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Generous workspace and a welcoming layout make this a natural gathering place for family and friends. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped outdoor space that extends the living experience into the Southern California sunshine. Perfect for alfresco dinners, entertaining, celebrations, or simply giving kids and pets room to play, the outdoor setting offers versatility and privacy."

3501 Maple Avenue begins at $3.600M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

3501 Maple Avenue is listed by Edward Kaminsky, eXp Realty of California, Inc.

 638 Rosecrans Avenue (3br/3ba, 2904 sqft.)

From the official description:

"Picture this: the gate closes behind you, greenery adds a welcome sense of privacy, and suddenly Manhattan Beach life feels a little more relaxed. With nearly 2,900 sq ft of beautifully designed living space, this Tree Section home delivers room to spread out, entertain, work, and enjoy the beach lifestyle—all at a value that’s hard to ignore. Inside, soaring ceilings and oversized windows fill the family room with natural light, while a fireplace sets the scene for easy gatherings. The adjacent dining room is currently used as an office, but game room, homework headquarters, formal dining—you decide. The kitchen is ready for its starring role with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a generous island with built-in gas range, walk-in pantry, laundry room, and dining area overlooking a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and its own fireplace. Outside, a private patio and backyard with string lights invite you to pour the wine, fire up the grill, and let the ocean breeze do its thing. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with fireplace, generous closet, private balcony, and ensuite bath featuring a jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanity... And then there’s the location. Just six blocks from the beach and close to North Manhattan Beach restaurants and shops, you’re also only a short distance from Manhattan Village, The Point, and Grand View Elementary School, putting an impressive collection of dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences nearby... Best of all? This location creates an opportunity to get nearly 2,900 sq ft in Manhattan Beach at a price point that would be tough to duplicate in many other parts of town. More house, beach nearby, great shopping and dining in both directions—and plenty of room to make it your own. That’s a tradeoff worth discovering."
