Life feels different at 209 15th Street—lighter, more relaxed, effortlessly stylish. Just two blocks from the sand and only steps to the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach, this 'casual luxury' beach house brings ocean views and coastal charm right to your doorstep. Inside, the Primary suite is situated spaciously and privately on the first floor, with sliders to a small outdoor space. 2 more bedrooms grace the second floor along with the living area. The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are thoughtfully updated to feel both polished and inviting. The living area opens wide to sweeping blue-water views from the corner picture windows, while the outdoor deck is your front-row seat to sunsets and salty breezes. Gather around the dining banquet, cozy up by the fireplace, or simply enjoy the comfort of A/C on warm days—it’s all part of the easy, elevated lifestyle here. And if you were ever inclined to build a new, 3-story, 1800sf home on the lot, there are completed "permit ready" plans for such a property - already with a Coastal Development Permit issued by the City of Manhattan Beach. From morning surf checks to evening strolls downtown, 209 15th Street isn’t just a home—it’s Manhattan Beach living at its best.

Despite being built in 1961, this property has undergone a recent and extensive high-quality renovation, bringing all major components up to modern standards. The kitchen features new white shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances (including an LG refrigerator and gas range). Both bathrooms are fully updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and stylish tile work. Hardwood flooring is present throughout, and modern lighting (recessed lights, ceiling fans) and mini-split AC units indicate updated systems. The overall aesthetic is fresh, polished, and move-in ready with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Coastal Location: Situated just two blocks from the sand and steps away from downtown Manhattan Beach, offering unparalleled access to beach activities and urban amenities.
Panoramic Ocean Views: Features sweeping blue-water views from the living area and an outdoor deck, providing prime vantage points for sunsets and coastal scenery.
Approved Development Plans: Includes 'permit ready' plans for a new 3-story, 1800 sqft home with an existing Coastal Development Permit, offering significant future value and customization potential.
Updated & Inviting Interiors: The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, presenting a polished and comfortable living space.
Modern Comforts: Equipped with air conditioning for warm days and a fireplace, enhancing year-round comfort and appeal.

Cons

Compact Lot Size: The lot size of 1,345 sqft is relatively small, which, despite approved plans, may limit the scope for larger-scale new construction or extensive outdoor living space compared to other properties in the area.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1961, the property's original structure is over six decades old, potentially indicating older foundational systems that may require future attention, despite recent cosmetic updates.
Inverted Floor Plan: The primary suite is on the first floor, while the main living area and two other bedrooms are on the second floor, a layout that may not suit all buyer preferences for accessibility or family living.
