Experience the apex of Strand living at this ocean front Manhattan Beach property. For sale in one of the best spots in town, this striking contemporary penthouse residence, approx 2,740 sq ft, is where you can ponder uplifting panoramas of coastline, ocean and sky from one of 3 private decks, or step outdoors to surf and swim in the waves. This 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom Manhattan Beach Townhome is one of two at this prized corner address, where you enjoy an extra 105 feet of ocean views along the north-facing walk street—a rare property for sale. This Manhattan Beach Strand home was taken down to the studs for a total style and tech refresh. The result is a 2-level designer home where you wake in a fireplace master suite, checking surf from your bedroom patio before stepping into a 73-inch soaking tub or ThermaSol steam shower, with aromatherapy, lighting and sound controlled on iPad or smartphone. So is everything else in this smart home, from security and blinds to temperature, lights and music—even the Thermador oven. Walk down the hall to the sun-splashed living room and kitchen, where stunning ocean views are framed by French white oak floors and porcelain tiles. Enjoy breakfast in a chic kitchen filled with white Italian cabinetry and Thermador appliances before stepping onto the deck to savor Pacific Ocean breezes. The flow of the home is easygoing and sunlit, with an extra bedroom and bathroom on the lower level that’s ideal for guests or use as an office. This Manhattan Beach home caters to a versatile lifestyle, where quiet days can be spent working and enjoying the beach lifestyle, or entertaining friends over vivid sunsets on the deck and favorite vintages in the 450-bottle wine room gilded with Italian glass. At this central location, you can leave your car in the garage and cycle 5 minutes along the Strand to reach Downtown shopping and dining, or stroll 10 minutes to yoga or lunch at a sidewalk cafe in the charming North End.

Despite being built in 1988, this property has undergone a complete 'down to the studs' renovation, resulting in a virtually new, high-end residence. The kitchen features chic white Italian cabinetry, top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, and modern finishes. Bathrooms are luxurious, boasting a 73-inch soaking tub, ThermaSol steam shower with smart controls, and exquisite tiling. Throughout the home, French white oak floors, porcelain tiles, contemporary light fixtures, and comprehensive smart home technology (controlling security, blinds, temperature, lights, music, and even appliances) demonstrate a commitment to modern quality and design. All components appear new or recently updated, with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with 'Excellent' condition criteria.

Unrivaled Oceanfront Location & Views: Positioned at the 'apex of Strand living' in one of Manhattan Beach's best spots, this property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, ocean, and sky from three private decks, including an extra 105 feet of ocean views along a rare north-facing walk street.
Extensive High-End Renovation & Smart Home Integration: Recently taken down to the studs for a total style and tech refresh, the residence is a 2-level designer home featuring comprehensive smart home technology controlling security, blinds, temperature, lights, music, and even kitchen appliances.
Luxurious Interior Finishes & Amenities: Boasts premium features such as French white oak floors, porcelain tiles, a fireplace master suite with a 73-inch soaking tub and ThermaSol steam shower, a chic kitchen with white Italian cabinetry and Thermador appliances, and a 450-bottle wine room gilded with Italian glass.

Cons

High Association Fees: The property carries a substantial monthly association fee of $1,000.00, which adds a significant recurring cost to ownership.
Townhome Ownership Limitations: As a townhouse, it involves shared walls and potential HOA restrictions, which may not appeal to luxury buyers seeking the complete privacy and autonomy of a detached single-family home.
Niche Design Aesthetic: The 'striking contemporary penthouse residence' with its specific designer finishes and extensive smart home integration, while high-end, may cater to a more niche buyer segment, potentially limiting its broad market appeal.
