East Manhattan Beach
1326 Voorhees Avenue (5br/3ba, 2215 sqft.) is vastly improved from its condition in late 2022, when it last sold (for $2.500M) and we had described it as an "old and kinda challenging house that boasts a ginormous lot, over 9000 sqft."
Well, there can be life for "old" and "challenging" houses, if someone comes in and plunks down enough money. In this case, the listing says the current owns poured in $900K for upgrades.
The result is a pleasant, down-the-middle, modernized home with a vast, grassy backyard up a few steps from the generously sized rear patio area. How will buyers value the combination?
From the official description:
"[R]are style, space, and comfort on a coveted 9,250 sq. ft. lot. Tucked away on a flat, quiet, tree-lined street with sidewalks, it’s ... a true unicorn for the area. Recently upgraded with over $900,000 in high-end improvements, this turnkey residence features designer furnishings and décor from top brands... The sun-drenched, south-facing backyard and spacious front yard create the perfect backdrop for entertaining, relaxing, and everyday living."
"Enjoy year-round comfort with both central and wall A/C. Inside, the open concept layout is built for modern living. The chef’s kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and a waterfall island that anchors the space. A sleek wet bar adds convenience and sophistication, while the living and dining areas flow seamlessly for effortless hosting."
"The upstairs primary suite is a retreat with vaulted ceilings and a beautifully designed ensuite bathroom. Four additional bedrooms downstairs provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, the private backyard oasis features lush landscaping, a tranquil fountain, and plenty of room for dining, lounging, or play. The backyard is expansive yet highly usable, offering both a flat lower level and a flat upper level, perfect for versatile outdoor living."
1326 Voorhees Avenue begins at $3.995M.

1315 21st Street (3br/3ba, 2596 sqft.) is a 2008 custom build that really inspired us last time it was on the market in early 2020. Here's part of what we said then:
"The modest face of the home hides the extravagant, exacting simplicity of the interior."
"It's a single level with high ceilings and virtually no walls, creating a stunning open floorplan... really open. (And yes, "stunning" is a real estate cliché, but sometimes you have to use the right word when it fits.)"
"Once you're inside, you can see all the way to the backyard, past the kitchen and common areas, all the way to the backyard with pool. When the large sliding glass panels are tucked away, it's a completely open feeling."
From the current, official description:
"Light, airy, and effortlessly stylish, this stunning single-story custom home blends contemporary design with a resort-like ambiance in one of Manhattan Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Tucked behind lush giant timber bamboo, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers a rare sense of privacy while still being moments from award-winning schools, pristine beaches, and vibrant downtown amenities. Inside, the open-concept great room impresses with soaring 12-foot ceilings, five sun-filled skylights, and two sets of pocket doors that disappear to create seamless indoor/outdoor living. The tropical-inspired backyard is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a saltwater pool and spa, generous lounge areas, and three separate patios—allowing each bedroom its own private outdoor retreat. Recent renovations include the kitchen, bathrooms, and hardwood floors."

425 30th Street (2br/1ba, 986 sqft.) is a small, 100-year-old cottage, and yes yes yes, we love the idea of preservation.
But it's probably fanciful to invite the next owner to pay over $3M for a museum piece. The big question looming here is: What's land value for a favorable mid-block lot not too far north on the plateau?
From the official description:
"Welcome to a piece of Manhattan Beach history. Nestled on one of the Sand Section’s most coveted streets, this classic 1924 beach bungalow offers a truly rare opportunity. More than a house, this is a beautiful and compelling story waiting for its next chapter to be written. The story begins on a tranquil, low-traffic cul-de-sac street, on a full street-to-alley lot with a coveted south-facing exposure that bathes the property in warm, California sunlight."
"Step inside and be transported to a time of relaxed elegance. The expansive living room welcomes you with its high, open wood beam ceiling and beautifully panelled [sic] walls, creating a spacious and airy feel that instantly calms the soul. A charming, brick-faced fireplace anchors the room, promising cozy evenings, while a large picture window frames the peaceful neighborhood outside. Also included is a formal dining room."
"For nearly five decades, this home has been cherished by a single owner, a testament to its enduring charm and the immense pride of ownership that it inspires. It's a meticulously maintained retreat ready for its next caretaker. With a flexible layout, the home is currently a one-bedroom with a den (tax record shows two bedrooms), but it can easily be converted back to a two-bedroom. This home has lots of storage space, including a staircase that leads to a spacious attic...ready for your imagination for future use. The large, sun-drenched front yard is a canvas for your imagination, offering the perfect spot for a vibrant garden or a playful outdoor space. This location represents the best of the Sand Section lifestyle. Imagine a life where you can leave the car in the garage and walk to everything you need... Whether you choose to live in this classic gem as it is, expand its footprint, or build your dream home, the possibilities are endless. There's even a potential for ocean views (BTV) if fully developed, adding another layer to this incredible opportunity. This is more than a home; it’s the quintessential Manhattan Beach lifestyle experience. Are you ready to continue the story?"
