Tree Section

590 30th Street (5br/7ba, 5839 sqft.) is nearly new, a 2020 build that was purchased midway through construction, before coming to market.

It's on trend with regard to size and style, with an open floorplan in back, huge basement including home theater, and large bedrooms. Of course, all the upstairs bedrooms are en suite.

A bonus: There's a small pool to make life outdoors just a little cooler.

From the official description:

"Finding a picture-perfect home combined with an ideal location is rare, but this five-bedroom, seven-bath home, built in 2020... is a notable exception. Nestled on a quiet street that dead ends into a grassy field, this gorgeous residence is impeccably designed while maintaining a feeling of stress-free livability, layered with abundant natural light, high ceilings, and oak hardwood flooring throughout. A formal living room at the entry showcases a fireplace encased in shiplap, with an open formal dining room beyond as well as a nearby powder room. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry as well as a large center island with counter seating, a Thermador appliance package, quartz countertops, and a casual dining area with a charming window seat. An adjacent family room beckons with a cozy fireplace, built-ins, and sliding glass doors to bring the outside in. Filled with every amenity, the private yard offers outdoor dining on the covered terrace, a restorative pool, a firepit lounge, and a built-in barbeque with bar seating. Inside, the stairway with custom millwork leads to an ample lower level, which includes a spacious media room with bonus space and a built-in wet bar. A guest suite and dedicated office share a Jack-and-Jill bath, with an additional powder room convenient for guests. The theater is a showstopper with a wall-sized screen, kitchenette, and built-in sound system."

"Exquisite private living spaces on the top level propose every comfort, with an elegant primary suite boasting cathedral ceilings, a corner fireplace, his-and-hers custom walk-in closets, and a private balcony. The primary bath is outfitted with eye-catching designer details in everything from the floors to the finishes, the walk-in shower, the dual vanities, and the cement soaking tub. Three additional en-suite bedrooms include spacious closets, angled ceilings, and privacy, with two bedrooms offering their own step-out balconies. Additional features such as a three-car garage, a south-facing turf yard, and barn doors add to the overall ambiance of the home. Steps to Sand Dune Park and just blocks from the beach, this residence fuses contemporary stylish living by the sea with a peaceful, tree-lined setting in one of the most desirable locations in Manhattan Beach."

590 30th Street begins at $6.999M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

 2801 N Valley Dr (2br/1ba, 965 sqft.) is a cute remodel of a little 1950s bungalow, on the corner at Poinsettia. 

The compact kitchen is open to the living spaces, and is nicely remodeled, along with the full bath and half bath.

From the official description:

"This open floor plan home has been fully remodeled and is ready to move in! Wide plank oak flooring throughout. Full open kitchen with peninsula bar and quartz countertops. Living/dining room features a vaulted ceiling and a great office area with French doors that lead you out to the charming front patio surrounded by privacy hedges and beautiful landscaping.

Sand Section

 416 23rd Street (4br/4ba, 2853 sqft.) benefits from an unusually sized 40' x 90' lot, ten feet wider than your typical Sand Section lot, and therefore 900 sqft. larger.

While the 2003 build is 3 stories with 4br, it's not supersized, coming in under 3000 sqft.

Where you really feel the size is in the top floor living spaces, fully open and just voluminous. You might feel more like you're in a Tree Section or East Manhattan house, given the width of the space.

The home definitely features design details that were current 20 years ago. Whether one wants to do a cosmetic remodel is in the eye of the beholder/buyer.

Another bonus: On the first floor, there's not just a bedroom suite. There's an adjoining living room and kitchenette space. It could be convenient for live-in help or adult children living at home.

Hill Section

 700 John Street (6br/5ba, 4770 sqft.) is actually a re-list of a property that first launched in May at $10.475M, or about $475K higher than now.

It's meant to be land value, although there is a sizable home on the plot now.

The current owners paid $8.700M in mid-2021, in an off-market transaction.

If these seem like big numbers for land only, well, sure, but just a bit lower down the street, 501 John – with a much-upgraded house sitting right there – appears to have sold recently for land value also at $10.500M.

From the official description:

"A rare opportunity to have it ALL in Manhattan Beach! Located on prestigious John Street on the front side of the Hill section and perched on one of the highest points in the area with panoramic, unblockable ocean views, this expansive property is a gem. Currently it is a 6 bedroom traditional home with spacious square footage and a massive back yard. The future prospect of this property is especially unique as it is almost 10,000 square feet of flat, usable space and is "street to alley", which is highly desirable and few and far between on properties in Manhattan Beach. It is elevated from the street providing privacy and faces south and west, maximizing natural light. The current home was designed with family in mind, with a large family room, great room and living room with high vaulted ceilings giving the home an open flow. The yard is so large, and gets your mind thinking about all the possibilities... a pool and spa with a water slide or a regulation pickle ball court. Yet heading into the future even more, this site would be the ultimate location to build your own custom dream home. The true chance to have it all, and check ALL the boxes! This purchase can include approved plans..."
