This property has undergone a full and recent renovation, evident in the modern kitchens featuring flat-panel cabinetry, light quartz countertops, subway tile backsplashes, and dark stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms are equally contemporary, with modern vanities, fixtures, and tiled showers with glass enclosures. High-quality wood-look tile flooring is consistent throughout the units, complemented by modern recessed lighting and sleek light fixtures. Despite the 1972 build year, the 'fully renovated' status and 'modern coastal aesthetic' described, along with the visual evidence, indicate that all visible components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation. The property is move-in ready and presents as a high-quality, recently updated residence.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Hermosa View Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: El Segundo High School (10/10).
Prime Beachfront Location: Situated directly on 'The Strand' in Manhattan Beach, offering unparalleled access to the beach, downtown, and vibrant amenities, a highly coveted and exclusive address.
Exceptional Income Potential: A 'trophy income property' with a pro forma 5.50% cap rate and $1.1M in projected GSI, further enhanced by the ability to conduct short-term rentals in the Coastal Zone.
Breathtaking Ocean Views: Each unit boasts panoramic ocean views stretching from Palos Verdes to Malibu, significantly increasing desirability and rental value.
Fully Renovated & Modern Design: The four-unit building is fully renovated with a modern coastal aesthetic, featuring smooth-coat stucco exteriors and Fleetwood glass doors, ensuring a premium tenant experience and minimal immediate capital expenditure.
Premium Amenities & Privacy: Offers nine garage parking spaces (a significant advantage in a beach community), on-site laundry, and individual floor units with no shared walls, providing luxury and convenience.

Cons

High Barrier to Entry: The substantial list price of nearly $13 million limits the potential buyer pool to ultra-high-net-worth individuals or specialized investment groups.
Age of Underlying Structure: Despite being fully renovated, the building was constructed in 1972, meaning core structural and utility systems may be original and could require significant future maintenance or upgrades.
Reliance on Pro Forma Projections: The attractive cap rate and GSI are 'pro forma' projections, which may not fully materialize and depend on market conditions, occupancy rates, and effective management, particularly for short-term rentals.
