Discover a truly unique offering in the highly coveted Gas Lamp area of Manhattan Beach’s prestigious Sand Section—a thoughtfully reimagined residence with a spacious, private backyard and a beautifully updated 384 sqft (btv) detached ADU, bringing versatility and value that are virtually unmatched. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath main residence (approx. 1,588 sq ft, btv) has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with impeccable attention to detail and high-end craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by a welcoming front porch that sets the tone for this home’s effortless charm. Once inside, the vaulted ceilings and sun-filled, open-concept living spaces create a bright and airy atmosphere. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, featuring premium quartz countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador appliances, and a custom farmhouse sink—all flowing seamlessly into the dining area and family room. The living space is anchored by a fireplace and built-in cabinetry, perfect for relaxing or entertaining in style. The main floor also includes the serene primary suite with a spa-like ensuite bathroom, a guest powder room, and a conveniently located in-home washer/dryer. Upstairs you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a pristine full bathroom offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. French doors from both the kitchen and primary bedroom lead to the beautifully landscaped backyard, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy al fresco meals beneath the string lights, then gather around the fire pit as the ocean breeze rolls in—a true backyard sanctuary, right in the heart of the Sand Section. Above the detached two-car garage, the ADU offers endless possibilities—whether as a guest suite, creative studio, office, or rental income unit. With its own entrance, kitchenette, and bathroom, it offers function and flexibility without compromising privacy. Additional upgrades include air conditioning, Marvin windows, custom window treatments, two tankless water heaters, and wiring for an EV charger. This prime location has it all - walking distance to the beach, Live Oak Park, Grandview Elementary and all of the amazing restaurants and shopping in downtown Manhattan Beach. Refined. Rare. Ready to impress. This is coastal living redefined.
