About This Home

As of November 2025

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 paneled 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. With a flexible layout, the home is currently a one-bedroom with a den (tax record shows two bedrooms), but it could potentially 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. At one end of the street is the iconic Sand Dune Park, and at the other, the Pacific Ocean—both are just a short walk away. Just blocks from your doorstep is the North End's vibrant scene, with its unique restaurants, retail shops, and yoga studios. For families, the distinguished Grandview Elementary is a short stroll down a charming, low-traffic path. Whether you choose to live in this classic gem as it is, expand its footprint, or build your dream home, the possibilities are endless. This is more than a home; it’s the quintessential Manhattan Beach lifestyle experience. Are you ready to continue the story?
