Tree Section
746 29th Street (5br/7ba, 5527 sqft.) is an artful execution of hybrid styling that's got some currency in town: "Modern Farmhouse."
The style seems to mean a little something different to everyone, so there is freedom to explore the theme, and to decide how much modern, and how much farmhouse.
In the hands of a builder whose work we have admired for several years, here you get a wide-open floorplan, covered outdoor living room, lots of light and spaces with echoes of mid-century modern style.
Location here is on one of the great blocks of the Grand View district of the Trees.

East Manhattan Beach
1610 21st Street (4br/4ba, 3476 sqft.) is newer construction – specifically, as the listing notes, Dec. 2023 construction. That wasn't very long ago! But things change. (The current sellers paid $3.910M in Dec. 2023; it's now listed at a modest markup of $70K.)
From the official description:
"Newly constructed in December 2023... this family friendly home epitomizes coastal luxury... The home impresses from the curb with its undeniable appeal. Inside, a dramatic foyer with recessed lighting and European Oak hardwood floors sets the tone. A guest bedroom and bath off the entry provide convenience, while the highlight is the expansive great room. This open-concept space integrates a light-filled living area with a fireplace, a spacious dining room, and a chef's island kitchen featuring Fisher & Paykel appliances, a walk-in pantry, breakfast nook, and adjacent office space. Double doors lead to the patio with a built-in BBQ and outdoor refrigerator. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite bath with double sinks, walk-in shower and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, two baths, a laundry room, and a lounging loft complete the second floor."

Sand Section
2605 Alma Avenue 2 (3br/3ba, 1256 sqft.) is a smallish standalone home that is technically a townhome, due to a lot shared with the neighbor to the west.
A detached townhome like this is a fairly uncommon configuration. Even more unusual is the fact that both units face the same alley, and have side-by-side garages.
The current listing mistakenly labels this property as a single-family home, but also states that the lot is 2708 sqft. – now, see, that's the full size of the shared lot. And there is a reason for the odd #2 in the address – could that be because there's a #1? Yes indeed.
Last sold in Jan. 2021, this home recently got a 100% makeover, including a great re-imagining of the lower living room, now enjoying foldaway doors to the modest front patio.
While the home may be modest in size, the upgrades really are nicely done, including a wine room carved out of the downstairs den – not a feature you'll often find in ~1200 sqft.
This home listed almost 2 years ago, in Summer 2022, asking an astonishing $2.999M, quickly dropping to $2.449M before quitting. Now it's $150K higher than that last asking.
