A Dreamy Manhattan Beach Midcentury Wants $3.25M
After having been lovingly tended for nearly four decades by the same owner, this striking midcentury home is currently seeking a new buyer. Nestled amid the coveted "walk streets" of Manhattan Beach, California—meaning owners walk up to the homes rather than drive into a garage—the 2,861-square-foot abode boasts an exceptionally convenient location, all while providing serenity and privacy.
The 1962 midcentury is entered through a large private gate with lush greenery along one side.
Designed by acclaimed architects Pollock & Palmer in 1962, the residence has been thoughtfully remodeled by its current owner of 37 years, yet still retains much of its original midcentury charm and character.
Daylight pours into the home via floor-to-ceiling openings that face west toward the ocean.
Upon entering the home, guests are welcomed to a spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining area.
Featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a home office, as well as a multi-purpose room that could easily be converted into a theater, game room, or playroom, the dwelling also contains a spacious courtyard that illuminates the home while capturing fresh ocean breezes. Scroll ahead to take a peek at the property, currently listed for $3,250,000.
A wet bar with a built-in ice cream parlor sits under the floating staircase next to the kitchen.
The spacious kitchen comes with all new appliances, including two built-in wall ovens.
One of the home's three bathrooms is conveniently located right off the kitchen.
The light-filled living room features one of the home's original built-in fireplaces.
A large home office with an abundance of storage is located on the second level.
The master suite comes fully equipped with a large closet area, a private bath, a large sitting area with another fireplace, as well as a private deck that overlooks the courtyard.
The master bath includes floor-to-ceiling cabinetry along one wall for ample storage.
