1404 Manhattan

Welcome to 1404 Manhattan Avenue—an exceptional coastal residence just five homes from the ocean and two blocks from premier dining and shopping. Offering approximately 4,274 square feet (BTV), the home features five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, and a versatile recreation room, combining scale, design, and rare on-site parking in the Sand Section. Designed by Kate Lester, the entry opens through a custom steel door into a refined foyer with stone detailing. The primary suite is a private retreat with a fluted stone fireplace, 10-foot ceilings, ocean views, and a spa-like bath with full-slab shower, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. A floating staircase and three-stop elevator connect all levels, where abundant natural light and ceiling heights over 10 feet create a sense of openness. The top floor, with dramatic 14-foot ceilings, serves as the home’s centerpiece—offering sweeping ocean views, including the Manhattan Beach Pier. The chef’s kitchen features a honed Arabescato marble island, walk-in pantry, plastered hood, and private BBQ deck. The adjacent family room includes a custom bar with Calcutta Onyx and beverage refrigeration, ideal for entertaining. Additional highlights include a main-level guest suite, laundry and mudroom, and a “beach room” with custom paneling and a statement bar. Finishes throughout include Roman clay plaster walls, custom oak cabinetry, Miele appliances, and Fleetwood sliding doors. A rare seven-car parking capacity—featuring a four-car garage with lift potential—sets this home apart. Complete with Control4 automation and integrated security, 1404 Manhattan Avenue represents a premier opportunity in the South Bay.
