About This Home
Tucked away on a quiet and private cul-de-sac, this rare (65 FOOT WIDE) Manhattan Beach find offers the perfect blend of serenity, style, and endless potential. With incredible sun exposure, fully fenced and gated grounds, and a lush, irrigated landscape featuring multiple fruit trees (apricot, fig, mulberry, lemon, apple, and more), this home is a true retreat. Behind the classic white picket fence, Iceberg roses flourish on drip irrigation, adding to the charm.
Step inside and be greeted by an abundance of natural light pouring through the signature mid-century modern windows that line the top of the walls, creating a bright, airy atmosphere throughout. This thoughtful design enhances the home’s open feel while maintaining privacy, making every space feel warm and inviting.
Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the property boasts paver walkways and patios, artificial turf in both front and rear yards, and an outdoor natural gas BBQ—perfect for entertaining. A finished, drywalled, and carpeted garage with a utility closet adds function, while a backyard garden shed offers flexibility as a storage space, playhouse, or personal retreat.
Beyond the home’s peaceful setting, it’s walkable to Mira Costa High School and Pennekamp Elementary, while still being on the convenient side of PCH for easy middle school access. The location strikes the perfect balance—just a street over from multi-million-dollar estates yet minutes from grocery stores, fitness centers, and all the essentials.
With a newer roof, water heater, and furnace, this mid-century postmodern beauty is move-in ready today, with the potential to expand or reimagine in the future. And when the sun sets, step outside and take in the rare Manhattan Beach night sky—proof that this is truly a home away from the hustle, yet close to everything.
