An extremely rare find, this 2-level storybook home embraces a vintage beachy feel and lifestyle... a throwback to the classic beach days of yesteryear, you can cancel your uber & doordash accounts and lock up your car keys... just grab a pair of flip-flops and literally everything you could ever want/need is right out your front door. A few blocks to the sand, strand & pier and everything in between... from Shellback & StrandHouse to The Kettle, up to Shade MB and the greenbelt, your entire world just got compressed into a 10 minute stroll. After a long day of sun & salt, “wine down” in the sanctuary, private backyard patio space... perfect indoor/outdoor flow from the rear family room that offers a great setting for entertaining or just a quiet retreat of relaxation. Situated on a sizable sand section 30x100 lot with broad zoning, you can also enjoy endless long-term potential with a variety of creative build and re-purpose options. Surrounded by the best schools in the South Bay (just blocks to Martyr’s or Pacific and a stones-throw to MBMS, Mira Costa) Conveniently just minutes to LAX and 105/405 fwys. Priced to sell .. don't miss your chance on this one!
