Manhattan Beach New Listings (9/10-9/11/22)

How many times can you say we were hit by a hurricane?

Well, still not, technically... we just got some weird, wild weather from Kay, briefly a low-grade hurricane and then a tropical storm.

Disaster averted, and area cooled.

Proceed with your open-house touring as normal.

Sand Section

445 33rd Street (5br/5ba, 4353 sqft.) is a special place we've raved about here on MBC over the years as it has come to market now and again.

It's unique at first because of its unusual 60' presence along quiet 33rd St. This allows for a floorplan unique in the Sand Section, including an ample front deck with an ocean peek.

The custom, beachy styling has always been special.

And this one is almost always offered at a price that is notably higher than other comps on the plateau.

Its last sale, at $4.400M, in July 2017, was the high for the district. Now it's $3M higher.

From the official description:

"Just moments to the beach, this stunning coastal Hamptons style home is perched in the highly coveted Sand Section of Manhattan Beach offering the quintessential California Beach lifestyle with luxury, design, and comfort. This ultra-rare, 60-foot frontage entertainers dream offers an expansive 3,753 square foot, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, plus office floor plan with ~ 1,600sf outdoor living space. The ultimate open concept living with the perfect indoor/outdoor flow with relaxing ocean views and breezes. From the moment you enter the palm-lined entryway, the abundance of natural light throughout welcomes you in. The main level hosts 3 ensuite bedrooms complete to perfection and a spacious laundry room. Experience true relaxation in the primary suite with a large spa-like bathroom complete with steam shower and separate his & her walk-in closets. From the main level, ascend to the third floor with ocean views and a masterfully designed open floor plan with soaring ceilings that seamlessly extends out to the expansive balcony through 24-foot bifold doors."'

472 29th Street (5br/6ba, 4603 sqft.) took 6 weeks off and has cut $405K from start.

The wrapper says Mediterranean, but inside, the remodel is far more beachy, with modern edges.

It's also a lot of space, a tick bigger than most Sand Section homes, thanks to its ~3000 sqft. lot.

From the official description:

"This well-designed home offers three bedrooms complete with en-suite bathrooms and two bedrooms that share a dual bath. The secluded downstairs guest suite or media room is most ideal for hosting over the holidays! The top level offers a beautiful open chef's kitchen as well as formal and informal dining and living spaces. Spacious decks on either side, truly an entertainer's dream. The spacious three-car garage has plenty of storage plus two additional driveway spots. This is one of the best locations as you are just steps away from the beach, close to all of downtown MB's shops and restaurants, Sand Dune Park is just around the corner, kids can walk to Grandview Elementary and all that Manhattan Beach has to offer. Property sold 'as is.' "

472 29th Street begins at $4.495M and is open Sat. 12-2pm & Sun. 2-4pm.

3612 Ocean Drive 3 (2br/3ba, 1178 sqft.) is a 2br TH in the North End that will definitely turn some heads thanks to price... under $2M for a spot just up from the Strand.

From the official description:

"Incredibly charming townhome that has it all - ocean views, corner unit, 2-car attached private garage, security gates, and close proximity to shops and restaurants. This cozy corner unit has tons of light and excellent airflow due to the extraordinary amount of windows and French doors throughout. The floorplan is very functional with community spaces on the main floor including the kitchen, dining area, living room and powder. The top floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms which are both facing the ocean and offer spectacular views of the water and Santa Monica Mountains in the distance.

In addition, this unit has it's own coveted 2-car attached garage with side by side parking.

Tree Section

3108 N Poinsettia Avenue (3br/3ba, 2218 sqft.) is an efficient, 3-level home with lots of charm.

Enter into the great room, with remodeled kitchen. Some of the pressure is taken off this space by a downstairs den.

Two bedrooms on the entry level are oh-so-compact. The master suite is reasonably spacious, upstairs. That downstairs den does have a full bath and could serve as a guest room (lacking a door, however).

The grounds are well landscaped, lending a classic feel to the home overall.

From the official description:

"[A]dorable single-family home nestled on the best street in Manhattan Beach. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home’s curb appeal draws you in immediately with its red brick patio, bright white pergola, white picket fence, and fully grown shady tree. The open floor plan makes this home feel massive. A fireplace anchors the living room, while gorgeous wood floors and crown molding elevate the home’s elegance. Beautiful built-ins and a unique chandelier spruce up the dining area that flows into the recently updated gourmet kitchen. A large island ties all the spaces together, while updated appliances and exquisite countertops provide a workspace fit for a professional. Continue to the main floor’s two bedrooms and home office, two of which open to the terrace overlooking the backyard. Upstairs - vaulted ceilings, French doors, and a fireplace make the Owner’s Suite a 5-star oasis. Downstairs - a bonus room complete with a full bath, laundry room, and French doors leading to the shaded patio makes a perfect family room or guest quarters. Head outside to enjoy those two outdoor seating areas and the grassy space beyond. You’ll also find a private gated driveway with a detached two-car garage with extra space above the garage that has potential to be an office or ADU in the future. With a bonus room inside and office, this 3 bedroom is more like a 5 bedroom!"

2606 Pacific Avenue (4br/3ba, 3448 sqft.) sports a 1950 build date, but obviously had an expansion and restyling at some point in the 1980s or early 90s, boasting contemporary and interesting architectural styles.

Definitely different, and priced a bit "low" for the Trees to account for that, it seems.

From the official description: 

"This large Modern home ... offers loads of light throughout both floors of this spacious home. Features all 4 bedrooms upstairs with a hall bath that has double sinks. The master bedroom has a gas fireplace, with vaulted ceilings and separate tub and shower stall with walk in closet.

1170 Shelley Street  (4br/3ba, 1858 sqft.) is Dave's and Edge's listing on a quiet, private street.

It has a new look and new price, as we repainted, refreshed and renewed the property for this presentation. We felt some real excitement at the Friday brokers' open, including from some agents who had seen the home before.

Simply put, this home is straightforward and ready to go.

From the official description: 

"Fully remodeled Manhattan Beach home with great single-level floorplan, sizable primary suite and ample outdoor living space. It’s the good life, elegantly simple. Four bedrooms, updated kitchen and baths, with bright, open living spaces. Warm, bamboo flooring throughout."

"Kitchen features all Bosch appliances, Caesar stone counters and oversized stainless steel sink. Your primary suite is extra spacious, with both a walk-in closet and wall closet, each with custom built-ins. Two sizable secondary bedrooms share a hallway bath. A fourth bedroom can be a den, office or guest room, and it's got a bath, too, adding flexibility to the floorplan. The home's sunny, south-facing backyard makes for attractive outdoor living, with both decking and artificial turf."

"Newer stucco and recently redone, reflective roof. Drought-tolerant landscaping both front and back. And what a lifestyle! You may be surprised by how much is within a short walking distance: coffee, wine, restaurants, schools, gym, Lazy Acres and more. Compare to other East Manhattan Beach homes by location and price per square foot: This one's a winner!"

From the official description:

"Hidden at the end of a pristinely landscaped cul-de-sac, you’re welcomed into this turnkey single-level home finished with a designer’s eye. The home exudes a feeling of light and bright with the sand-tone wide plank flooring, multiple skylights, creamy white plantation shutters, two sets of glass-paned French doors opening to the terraced patio and vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings refinished to the perfect whitewashed hue. The kitchen invites guests to pull up a stool and linger at the bar while dinner is prepared, taking in the new white quartz kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances and recessed lighting. Dine intimately in the breakfast nook flanked by bay windows or gather in the dining room away from the cooking, with space to extend the table to host everyone at the holidays. The luxe bathrooms have new updates including lighting, fixturing, and floor-to-ceiling tiled showers with glass door enclosures. Lounge and dine on the expansive west-facing patio, enveloped by green hedges, architectural pergolas and climbing wisteria, delivering a delightful reprieve. The ultimate in privacy comes from the mature, lush plantings that surround the exterior, including olive trees, azaleas and fragrant jasmine chosen by someone with exquisite taste."
