Hill Section

 719 11th (5br/5ba, 5697 sqft.) is an oversized 1990-built home with custom upgrades since. While the rear yard is a bit small, there are some ocean views over Hill Section rooftops.

From the official description:

"This playful 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath gem is just a flip-flop stroll away from the beach, iconic Manhattan Beach Pier, and bustling downtown. Step inside and up the grand spiraling hardwood stairs to the top floor—an entertainer’s paradise, with panoramic views towards Palos Verdes and Catalina Island. The expansive living room has a built-in granite wet bar that positively begs for cocktail parties, a scenic balcony for those “wish you were here” Instagram shots, and a dual-sided fireplace to keep the vibe cozy whether you're lounging or dining in the breakfast nook, that connects the kitchen in a clever design flourish to the living room. The open-plan kitchen is your culinary playground, complete with gleaming stainless appliances, gorgeous new quartz countertops and lustrous custom blue lacquered cabinets, a sprawling island for all your chefly endeavors, even two sinks... The formal Dining Room is open and bright with space for a table of 12! The bedroom on this floor is the size of a dormatory [sic] with an ensuite bath - perfect as a bedroom or playroom - its the size of 2 normal bedrooms."

"The middle, entry, level has an opulent Primary Suite at the front of the home, overlooking dreamy ocean views from the bedroom as well as the private balcony. Imagine snuggling in the sitting area in front of the fireplace. The primary bath has a large spa tub, separate shower and has a beautiful blue and white stone palate. There is plenty of storage in the walk in closet. A lavishly outfitted office awaits with walls of bookshelves, with French Doors leading to a flagstone patio and grotto-like spa and water feature. Two massive bedrooms also service this floor with a comfortable bath in between. There is a 2-car garage accessed off the back alley, which has been converted into a gym and playroom (easily reconverted). There is a second 2-car garage on the basement level below, accessed from the front. The 5th bedroom is on this level as well, serviced by a hall bath. a 3-stop elevator makes traversing three stories easy, and the laundry room has lots of storage, folding space, and a laundry sink. The movie/game room rounds out the floorplan of this incredible home that’s as fabulous as you are."

719 11th starts at $6.499M and is open Sat. & Sun. 11:00am-5:00pm (!).

719 11th is listed by Robert Freedman, DOMO Real Estate.

 819 11th Street (6br/7ba, 4997 sqft.) is Dave's and Edge's latest Manhattan Beach listing.

The home features a combined/double lot totaling 8700 sqft., with an extraordinary 70' wide frontage, allowing for a sizable home & yard. With no neighbor on one side, and a single-story home to the other, the home offers hard-to-beat privacy.

While the listing isn't new, we've recently reduced the price, making it even more obviously compelling when seen against other homes in the area that fall short on outdoor space.

From the official description:

"This sharp, stately and impeccable home is the very essence of a Hill Section estate. Secluded behind lush greenery, this large, private home features upgraded and remodeled family spaces, a pool-sized backyard, and lots of living space – even a separate cabana. All of this in a location that is truly walkable to downtown Manhattan Beach, and close to schools. As you arrive, you are greeted by a grand, bright, formal entry with elegant curved staircase, beautiful tile flooring and modern lighting. You’ll come to the ultra-spacious great room, featuring a stylishly redone kitchen with two islands and two dishwashers, a large eating area and sizable family room space. A wet bar with wine closet is nearby. Just outside, there are ample outdoor-living spaces, including a covered outdoor room and that huge, parklike yard. A formal living room looks out on it all, while formal dining is up front, opening to a cozy breakfast patio with a fountain."

"There is one bedroom suite downstairs and another bedroom serving as a dedicated office, with an adjoining remodeled half bath. Upstairs, the primary suite is huge, like you’d expect it to be, with a tastefully upgraded bath and walk-in closet. There’s also a large ensuite bedroom and two more bedrooms with high ceilings, large closets and a shared jack-and-jill bath. Laundry and a kids’ living room round out the upper level. There are two garages, one with direct entry to the home, a patio featuring a hot tub and a cabana with full bath that could be a fun hangout space, or might work as a guest house or ADU. A pretty, large home like this is built to entertain – you can host dozens of people without cramping anyone’s style. And when the day is done, this estate offers a serene, distinctive retreat. Let this be your place to grow, work, rest and enjoy all the best that Manhattan Beach has to give."

Sand Section

 1508 The Strand (5br/6ba, 5589 sqft.) is a large, although fairly basic, 1980s home that's shown with much of the flooring removed, and with a listing description that hints that they expect buyers to look at this nearly $14M listing as a land-value proposition. We'll see!

From the official description:

"Introducing 1508 The Strand, situated in one of the most idyllic locales along Manhattan Beach’s golden sands. This lot offers not just a home but a true lifestyle. Featuring five bedrooms and five and 1/2 baths in 5589 square feet on a 3329 square foot lot, the possibilities are as endless as the stunning views. Originally built in 1988, this residence is a canvas awaiting your dream home, whether you choose to reimagine the current structure or build from the ground up. Upstairs, the vast Primary Suite is an owner’s dream, with glass walls looking out onto the Pacific and a protected private balcony.

Just down the hall, you'll find the added convenience of an elevator and a dedicated laundry room. The center floor is home to a sizable great room with high ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and arresting ocean views, as well as a glass-walled balcony.

 4209 The Strand (5br/4ba, 2392 sqft.) is an El Porto property on The Strand that's pitched as a steal of a deal.

From the official description:

"This might be the last time you see an oversized beachfront lot offered in beautiful Manhattan Beach at a price this low (less than 50% the price of lots on the south end of The Strand). 4209 The Strand offers big development potential, plus two detached structures for immediate rental income. The front 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house is operating as a licensed vacation rental, while the rear structure is leased long term. Nestled between them is a courtyard with three car parking. But what sets this property apart is the rare combination of Residential High Density zoning and a larger lot size. The lot, measuring 33' x 105’ is among the larger single lots on The Strand: most are 5’ shorter in depth. These distinctive features open the door to potentially building two generously sized condominiums, a prospect not possible on the majority of Strand properties. Past such developments have been configured either side-by-side or one above the other. Buyer to verify what can be developed. The recent sale of two condominiums on a similar size lot located a couple blocks to the south suggest the potential upside, fetching nearly $16 million combined (4016 The Strand $8.25M; 4018 The Strand $7.6M)."

4209 The Strand begins at $6.300M.

4209 The Strand is listed by Shawn Dugan, Strand Hill Properties.

 224 18th Street (6br/5ba, 2634 sqft.) appears twice on the MLS because it's co-listed by a local broker and one from out of area, and the systems allow each to post the house on their "home" MLS. So no, you're not seeing double.

What you are seeing is a duplex on a prime walkstreet near downtown, with high land value.

If the start price of $4.700M seems a little low, once again, your eyes are not deceiving you. A very recent sale of a nearby duplex with high land value (201 19th) closed at $5.100M (July '24).

From the official description:

"[T]his rare duplex shares the block with the coast; west of Highland and situated on one of the most picturesque walk-streets in Manhattan Beach; your beach home awaits you. The main residence includes 1,824 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The ground floor has a kitchen with plenty of counter space and cabinetry, connecting to the dining area with stunning ocean views. This level also includes two bedrooms and a bathroom, with one bedroom opening to the back through French doors. Upstairs, a second level open-concept living room awaits with expansive coastal views, a cozy fireplace, and access to a private balcony. Two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms complete this floor. Above the 2-car garage w/laundry & storage is a separate upgraded unit with two bedrooms; two baths & views of the ocean, perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income. The property is on a 2,703 square foot lot with outdoor areas and landscaped surroundings including a front patio w/accent trees & a view of the ocean. Located in the heart of Manhattan Beach, 224 18th Street offers easy access to local dining, shopping, and recreation."
