Manhattan Beach New Listings (7/13-7/14/24)

It's another week with a hearty supply of new listings – 9 this week, to be precise – at a time when inventory continues to hover in the low 90s. (Much better than having the temps do that!)

East Manhattan continues to do its part by putting new options on the table every week.

The first listing below, a corner townhome on a South End walkstreet, is sure to draw attention.

Open house times for new listings are listed below, but you can also click SEARCHES then "Open Houses" at the top of our site, which displays all the Manhattan Beach open houses. There are also links right at the top to Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach opens.

Sand Section

 400 Manhattan Avenue (3br/4ba, 2575 sqft.) is a stylishly upgraded front-unit TH fronting a walkstreet in the South End.

The top floor living area feels uncommonly wide and spacious, with significant views all around.

The home's 3br are together on the middle (entry) level, while there's a hearty bonus room with bath on the lower level built out of what must have been a couple extra garage parking spaces at one point.

You don't often get a yard and patio area out of a townhome, but that's on offer here. Compelling.

From the official description:

 3203 Vista Drive (5br/5ba, 3178 sqft.) is a sizable and stylish newer build with ocean views that are stated to be protected.

This one sold new in July 2020 for $3.900M (good buy) and has been upgraded since. It spend some time on the market in 2022-23 at substantially higher prices than the current asking.

From the official description:

East Manhattan Beach

 1821 Herrin Street (3br/3ba, 1960 sqft.) is a stylish flip, on a property that just sold in April (for $2.300M).

This is one of the single-level Roth homes that proliferate in this particular area of East Manhattan near Polliwog and the middle school. Here, the corner location removes the #1 objection that is typical for the Roth homes – the garage being in front but not connecting in to the house (unless you cut a door into the primary bedroom). The garage is still separate, but in the back of the lot, an altogether more favorable feel and a nicer look overall.

There are no step-downs, the primary bath makes 100x more sense now than it did in its prior configuration, the kitchen is fully open to the family room, and they've not only re-tiled the ample back patio areas, they even converted a workshop/shed at the far rear portion of the lot into an attractive mini-gym or office type space.

From the official description:

"Stunning Just Renovated East Manhattan Beach Home. Welcome to this immaculate single-level, Roth built residence ideally situated on a corner lot, exuding modern elegance and thoughtful design... The open kitchen and family room concept seamlessly flow into the yard, boasting two patios for al fresco dining and gatherings plus a grassy area. The heart of the home features brand-new kitchen and bathroom cabinets, adorned with luxurious marble, stone, and quartz surfaces. Designer lighting fixtures and finishes complement the elegant aesthetic, enhancing every corner of this home. The half guest bath is a jewel box! The large primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a lavish bath featuring luxury galore. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, located in a separate wing, share a well-appointed bath to accommodate family or guests with ease. Outside, a gated yard surrounds a detached two-car garage with a convenient side door leading directly to the patio, ensuring privacy and easy access. Adjacent to the garage, discover a separate "he/she shed" – an ideal space for an office, yoga studio, or exercise area and entrance from the street."

1821 Herrin Street begins at $2.999M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

 1511 3rd Street (4br/4ba, 2636 sqft.) is another home we've seen on the market recently that went away for a bit, and has come back remodeled.

For about 3 months last year, this home was listed in the $2.7s in mostly original condition, but did not sell. Now, the same owner and agents bring it back with upgrades to everything sort of where it was. Upstairs: No carpet, but now wood flooring. Downstairs, where the kitchen and primary living spaces are: New flooring, a new kitchen, much of the old stone fireplace removed from the wall (but not all!), and so on.

You can still "see" the original home, with its slightly quirky layout, but now there's not much to game out in terms of remodeling. Just bring your stuff.

From the official description:

"[M]odern elegance and home comfort in this fully remodeled Manhattan Beach home. The residence features 4 spacious bedrooms and 4 modern bathrooms in this 2,636 square foot home on a 7,513 square foot lot.
