456 30th Street

Some homes just make life easier, like this one. It’s located in one of the most convenient pockets of the Sand Section, with a village-like feel. You’re only a few blocks from Grand View Elementary, close enough to walk the kids over in the morning, and just as close to the restaurants, cafés and shops of the North End. The beach beckons, too. This home has the kind of “grab your board and go” proximity that everyone is thinking about when they start dreaming of living in Manhattan Beach. Of course there's an outdoor shower! Inside, the updated, traditionally styled home is warm and delightful, with hardwood floors and plenty of natural light. Two rooms open via french doors to a private courtyard. The large, modern kitchen has stainless appliances, granite counters and good storage. Separate cooling systems for the downstairs and upstairs living spaces will keep you comfortable. There are three bedrooms, plus a dedicated office that gives you the flexibility everyone seems to need now. The primary suite is upstairs and oversized, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and enough extra space for a Peloton, reading corner or a tucked-away office nook. The secondary bedrooms each feature built-in desks. (Yes, homework is a reality; may as well be practical about it.) A two-car garage, extra storage, and a decorative driveway with two extra spaces round out the practical side of things. But really, it’s the lifestyle that stands out here: walkable, beachy, easy and close to everything. Keep that car in the garage and get your steps in. Come enjoy the best of Manhattan Beach living.
