603 11th Street

A rare expression of timeless California living, this custom Modern Spanish residence pairs architectural character, exceptional scale and effortless indoor-outdoor living in an enviable Manhattan Beach setting—just four homes from downtown and moments from the beach. Designed by acclaimed architect Doug Leach and custom built by Farnham/Zivic, the approximately 4,080-square-foot, five-bedroom residence has been lovingly held by its original owner and thoughtfully updated throughout. Romantic arches, soaring ceilings, French doors and rich hardwood floors create interiors that feel both sophisticated and inviting. Designed for entertaining, the main level offers distinct living and family rooms, each anchored by a fireplace, plus an elegant formal dining room with custom illuminated cabinetry and architectural ceiling detail. The expansive kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring an oversized granite island with abundant storage, stainless-steel appliances, dual ovens and two dishwashers. A butler’s pantry with wine storage and coffee/bar area connects the entertaining spaces, while an adjoining breakfast room provides a relaxed setting for everyday dining. Arched French doors open to a private courtyard surrounded by lush greenery and newly refreshed landscaping and hardscape. An outdoor kitchen, fire table and fountain accented with hand-painted tile create an intimate setting for dining and entertaining—a seamless extension of the interiors and quintessential Southern California living. A main-level bedroom with a private entrance offers flexibility as a guest suite, office or nanny quarters, complemented by a nearby bath ideal after days at the beach. Upstairs, a sweeping staircase leads to three additional bedrooms, a versatile loft workspace and the expansive primary retreat. The primary suite features its own fireplace and private balcony, along with a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, soaking tub and steam shower. Generous storage, a newly remodeled powder room with hand-painted tile, a three-car garage and additional driveway parking add exceptional functionality. Bright, private and surrounded by greenery, this is a home created for a lifestyle—morning coffee in the courtyard, afternoons at the beach and evenings in town, all just moments from your front door.
