About This Home

As of August 2026

Welcome to 1401 Chestnut Avenue, a beautifully updated California coastal home nestled in one of Manhattan Beach's most desirable neighborhoods. This thoughtfully refreshed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-level residence offers the perfect blend of timeless design, modern comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The bright, open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light and seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces—creating an inviting atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully appointed kitchen features a large center island, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a brand-new dishwasher, all flowing effortlessly into the spacious living and dining areas. Privately situated, the primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat with dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a classic clawfoot soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, a versatile office or bonus space, and beautifully updated bathrooms—including all new toilets, a new vanity in the second bathroom, stylish new mirrors, and updated light fixtures—complete the thoughtfully designed interior. Step outside to a private backyard designed for year-round enjoyment. Complete with low-maintenance synthetic turf, a putting green, inviting outdoor living spaces, and charming café lighting, it's the perfect setting for family gatherings, entertaining friends, or relaxing in the coastal sunshine. A finished garage provides valuable flex space, perfect for a home gym, playroom, office, hobby room, or additional storage—offering versatility to fit your lifestyle. Recent improvements extend throughout the home, including fresh interior paint, new LED ceiling lighting, ceiling fans, brand-new dual-glazed glass, a freshly painted front exterior, enhanced curb appeal with new landscaping and colorful flowers, and numerous thoughtful upgrades that elevate both the home's style and functionality. Ideally located within walking distance of award-winning Meadows Elementary and just minutes from downtown Manhattan Beach, The Strand, world-class beaches, parks, shopping, and dining, this exceptional home offers the very best of the Manhattan Beach lifestyle. With central air conditioning, paid-for solar panels, and extensive recent improvements already completed, this move-in-ready home offers peace of mind, energy efficiency, and the opportunity to enjoy the best of Manhattan Beach living from day one.
