Live the ultimate beach-town dream in this light-filled coastal retreat, perfectly positioned on a corner lot in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Sand Section—just steps from Grandview Elementary and an easy stroll to both the North End and Downtown districts. With a walk-street right next door, you can wander car-free straight to The Strand for ocean views, morning surf checks, or sunset strolls into town.
Inside, three airy levels are designed for easy coastal living. Each of the three oversized bedrooms features its own en-suite bath and private deck—ideal for morning coffee or catching ocean breezes. The top level flows effortlessly between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, with a stone-topped island, stainless steel Samsung appliances, rustic wood beams, and a sleek linear fireplace that make entertaining a joy.
Step outside and you’ll find not one, but three wrap-around decks—a rare treat in the Sand Section. Host dinner under the stars, take in partial ocean views from above, or simply kick back and let the sea air do its thing.
And when you’re ready to explore, some of Manhattan Beach’s best local favorites are just around the corner—grab a smoothie at Two Guns Espresso, tacos at El Sombrero, a glass of wine at MB Post, or dinner at The Arthur J or Fishing with Dynamite. Sand Dune Park, the beach, and Grandview Elementary are all just a few blocks away.
Tucked on wider-than-most Alma Avenue, with a two-car garage and extra guest parking (a true Sand Section unicorn!), this home perfectly blends beachside ease, everyday comfort, and that laid-back Manhattan Beach lifestyle everyone loves.
