About This Home

As of February 2022

What an incredible opportunity to own the quintessential beach cottage home in the heart of the Tree Section of Manhattan Beach! Centrally located and walking distance to award winning Pacific Elementary School and close to downtown Manhattan Beach. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is picture perfect and captures your heart as you enter through the Dutch front door and lay your eyes on the remodeled kitchen complete with Carrara marble countertops, subway tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances. It opens to the dining room and spacious family room, which is complete with a built-in speaker system. Light hardwood floors throughout the whole home, add to the beachy feeling. Both bathrooms have recently been remodeled including new layout, tile, and plumbing fixtures. Also recently upgraded is a Vivint alarm system, security cameras (indoor and outdoor) which can be viewed remotely, and motion detector lights in the driveway and backyard. This home has incredible curb appeal with the white picket fence, weathered shingles, and flagstone paver entry. It also has a spacious yard next to the detached 2 car garage. The perfect blend of indoor outdoor living compliments the story book feel of this true California beach house. A must see!
