228 31st St, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Embrace Manhattan Beach walk street life at a timeless architectural home with soaring, exclusive ocean views. The approximately 3,937 sq-ft beach residence was designed by architect Robert Riblet to celebrate indoor-outdoor living at an elevated point of the ultra-desirable 31st Street walk street. Stroll 2 minutes to the sand for daily swim and surf sessions—enjoy walking and biking to sunny North End or Downtown shops and eateries within 3 minutes of this convenient Sand Section address, west of Highland Ave. Back home you’re in a sunlit 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom Modernist residence with rare, unblocked Pacific Ocean views. Gorgeous beach light and sunsets pour across oak floors from big windows and multiple balconies. Most dramatic is the unblocked panorama of sky and ocean on the top floor, where disappearing glass walls and a post-free corner create a direct connection with nature. You live among exhilarating ocean views whether on the spacious patio or in the airy living room and minimalist kitchen, decked in custom Alder wood cabinetry and a CaesarStone quartz slab island. Further back is a media room with plenty of south-facing Pier and Peninsula views from corner glass windows and a private balcony. Shuttle between 3 levels via elevator or sun-drenched floating staircase. The 1st floor is for entertaining with a bright family room and a butler’s station. Glass doors link it to a large, landscaped patio perfect for hosting beach-day gatherings and sunset dinner parties. The middle floor is home to sleeping spaces: There’s a primary suite with an oceanview balcony, and two more bedrooms, linked with a private balcony, down the hall. Completed in 2010, this custom beach home is an enduring one, with a rigorous design and long-lasting materials and craftsmanship, all meant to keep you immersed in the dynamic beauty of life along the Pacific Ocean.
