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.

Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1988, the property has undergone a recent 'down to the studs' renovation, as explicitly stated in the description. The images confirm a complete, high-end 'style and tech refresh' with virtually new components. The kitchen features chic white Italian cabinetry, integrated Thermador appliances, and sleek countertops. Bathrooms are luxurious with modern floating vanities, designer tile work, glass-enclosed showers, and smart features like a ThermaSol steam shower. French white oak floors are present throughout, and the home is equipped with advanced smart home technology controlling various systems. All elements meet current quality standards with no visible wear or deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
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).
Unrivaled Oceanfront Location: Directly situated on The Strand in Manhattan Beach, offering immediate beach access and exceptional walkability to downtown shopping, dining, and local amenities.
Panoramic Ocean & Coastline Views: Boasts expansive, unobstructed panoramas of the coastline, ocean, and sky from three private decks and key interior spaces, enhanced by an additional 105 feet of north-facing walk street views.
Comprehensive High-End Renovation: Recently underwent a 'down to the studs' renovation, featuring designer finishes, French white oak floors, Italian cabinetry, and Thermador appliances throughout a meticulously redesigned interior.
Advanced Smart Home Technology: Equipped with a fully integrated smart home system controlling security, blinds, temperature, lighting, music, and even appliances via iPad/smartphone, providing ultimate modern convenience.
Luxurious Master Suite & Amenities: Includes a lavish master suite with a fireplace, a 73-inch soaking tub, a ThermaSol steam shower with aromatherapy, and a dedicated 450-bottle wine room, catering to a high-end lifestyle.

Cons

Premium Price Point: The $8.5 million list price places this property in the ultra-luxury segment, significantly narrowing the pool of potential buyers despite its prime location and features.
Townhome Configuration: As one of two townhomes, it may not offer the complete privacy or expansive private outdoor space (e.g., a large private yard) that some luxury buyers might prefer in a detached single-family residence.
Significant Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $1,000 adds a considerable recurring expense to the cost of ownership, which could be a factor for potential buyers.
