2407 Manhattan Ave

"Sunsets, ocean air, and spaces that flex with your life—this architecturally refined coastal home is designed to live the way Manhattan Beach buyers actually want to live. Set on a southwest corner just moments from the Strand, the home unfolds across four thoughtfully designed levels, each offering its own mood—from relaxed entertaining to quiet retreat. Wide-plank French oak floors, warm wood paneling, and metal-framed windows create a calm, elevated backdrop that feels both modern and timeless. The top level is where life naturally gathers. Walls of glass and bi-fold doors open to a panoramic ocean-view deck—perfect for sunset dinners, weekend barbecues, and evenings that stretch just a little longer with a glass of wine in hand. A chef’s kitchen anchors the space, outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, slab marble counters, and a breakfast bar that keeps everyone connected to the view. Below, the home reveals its most unexpected feature: a lower-level lounge that feels nothing like a basement. By excavating the west side yard, the space is flooded with natural light and generous proportions. Designed as a sophisticated entertainment retreat, it features a custom bar, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and lounge seating—yet easily transforms into a private guest suite or secondary living space, complete with a Murphy bed, bath, laundry, and elevator access. The bedroom levels offer privacy and flexibility, including a serene primary suite with its own ocean-view deck, spa-like marble bath, and adjacent room that can serve as an office, study, or nursery. A separate-entry bedroom suite on the garage level adds ideal functionality for guests, work-from-home, or extended stays. A four stop elevator, Smart-home technology, secure steel entry, whole-house water filtration, and a Tesla Powerwall system quietly support the lifestyle—letting the home feel effortless, intentional, and ready for everyday living by the coast. This is not just a home near the ocean—it’s a home built around the way you experience it."
