Charming, sun-filled, and full of versatility—welcome to 1544 3rd Street, a quaint Manhattan Beach bungalow situated on a flat, south-facing lot with a flexible floor plan, abundant natural light, and the opportunity to make it your own. Enter through the inviting Dutch front door into a bright, welcoming room currently used as a formal dining area, easily adaptable as a sitting or living room. From here, the space connects seamlessly to the kitchen, creating a natural flow enhanced by a large picture window that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a double sink, and a pass-through window that opens to the rear living area. Just off the kitchen is a versatile space, currently used as a home office, but well-suited for use as a formal dining room or additional living area, complete with sliding doors that lead directly outdoors. Step down into the sunken family room/den, a warm and inviting space with vaulted wood-beam ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the backyard. The primary suite features generous closet space and a full ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms offer great natural light and ample closets for family and guests. A second full bathroom completes the interior layout, providing convenience and functionality. Outside, the backyard is lush, private, and full of usable space. With mature landscaping and a large patio and deck, it’s the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. A detached two-car garage sits at the rear of the property, and a large paved driveway offers plenty of off-street parking. Ideally located just minutes from top-rated schools, local parks, and the beach, 1544 3rd Street offers the perfect blend of charm, functionality, and potential in one of Manhattan Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods.
