Sand Section

 310 32nd Street (3br/4ba, 2420 sqft.) is the front unit of two townhomes along a walkstreet, built in '06 but with a goodly amount of recent remodeling.

This northern part of MB east of Highland is part of one of the highest natural points in the Sand Section, meaning 3rd floor views are quite good.

Floorplan is fairly typical for a Manhattan Beach townhouse, with one bedroom downstairs, primary plus second bedroom on the middle level, and wide-open top floor. 

Of note: The property sold off-market in Oct. '21 for $3.350M, before the remodel.

From the official description:

"Welcome to the pinnacle of beachside living in sought after Manhattan Beach. This residence redefines luxury, positioned on a walk street just mere steps from the beach, showcasing breathtaking, unobstructed full ocean views. The top floor unveils an exquisitely designed open concept, where an expansive kitchen, dining area, and a grand living room converge seamlessly, all framed by a warm and inviting fireplace. Boasting three nicely appointed bedrooms, including a lavish primary suite adorned with double sinks, a gorgeous walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and generous walk-in closet."

"In addition, the residence was completely remodeled in 2022 and includes a 3-stop elevator, separate laundry room, air conditioning and attached 2-car parking garage. This home will allow you to experience the coastal dream in its purest form and entertain with ease. Conveniently located moments from North Manhattan Beach with dining options, fitness studios and shopping nearby.."

310 32nd Street begins at $4.750M and is open Sat & Sun 1-4pm

East Manhattan Beach

 1632 Ruhland Avenue (4br/3ba, 2638 sqft.) benefits from some recent expansion and remodeling, which creates a sizable, open first floor with a very nice covered outdoor room, plus an adjacent outdoor kitchen.

There's also a mostly flat backyard with faux grass that is basically huge for Manhattan Beach.

The first floor features all the living spaces, plus one room that appears to lack a closet but still counts as the 4th bedroom. Upstairs, the primary suite is sizable, but the secondary bedrooms are "just enough," and share a hallway bath.  

From the official description:

"You've officially found the dream home to savor the Southern California climate in this entertaining paradise where indoor and outdoor living flow together in a truly unforgettable manner. The private, flat backyard goes on for days. Lushly landscaped and turfed, it will capture your heart forever. Gather around the glow of the outdoor fireplace with endless seating for family and friends, as food is prepared in either kitchen... Inside, the home unfolds with an open floor plan to spread out in several spaces to accommodate living, dining, work, and play. The classic, coastal design exudes warmth with the continuous hardwood floors throughout, the soaring vaulted ceilings, the custom built-ins lining the great room and the designer chandeliers. The expansive, newly added primary suite is enveloped in casual elegance."

Tree Section

 1601 Pine Avenue (5br/5ba, 2962 sqft.) was once one of the "Speedy Speckies," part of a series of 5-6 homes built quickly, almost in assembly-line fashion, a dozen years ago, before anyone else was building. The builder was not one of the best (he's since skipped town) and many of the homes were not even his best work.

When first offered, this one was bizarrely labeled as "Colonial" in style while laden with cheap Mediterranean details.

But it's now completely different. The owners several years ago stripped it down and rebuilt it with a high-end, modern designer. The transformation is stunning, effectively rescuing a middling house with huge upgrades.

This one wowed a buyer only last Summer, selling for $4.200M in July last year. The newest owner is looking for a bit of a bump over that in a resale now.

From the official description:

"Completely redesigned and remodeled down to the studs... this home epitomizes coastal living with warm minimalist tones throughout. On entry, you are greeted by one of the home's living areas with a stunning vaulted ceiling, fireplace and skylight showcasing the home's beautiful natural light, perfectly complemented with Italian white oak floors throughout. The kitchen cabinetry was completed with Fenix Italian laminate, a solid oak breakfast bar and Carrera marble countertops. The main living space opens to the rear year with custom pocketed screen doors. The home has LED recessed lighting throughout, custom automatic shades, central heating and AC, premium audio system. The stunning feature staircase along with the cabinetry throughout are custom rift sawn white oak. The upper level features the home's 5 bedrooms and an additional living area with a balcony. The primary suite is private with its own private balcony, custom cabinetry, expansive walk-in robe, and generously sized ensuite with Ann Sacks tile, Carerra [sic] marble countertops and shower, limestone cement plaster and designer hardware. Close to downtown, the beach and coveted Manhattan Beach schools. Enjoy quality craftsmanship and refreshing simplicity in Manhattan Beach's coveted Tree Section."

1601 Pine Avenue begins at $4.500M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

3201 Maple Avenue (5br/6ba, 6137 sqft.) is new construction, still under way. (That's a rendering above.)

They say it'll be ready in December or so.

The lot is nearly double the typical size for the Tree Section, at 9261 sqft.

Notable: The lot was purchased for $3.350M in early 2021 before this spec new construction began.

From the official description:

"As you enter the first level you will be in awe of an expansive floor plan impeccably done embracing the center of the home and offering superior entertaining?—multiple windows allow light to filter throughout the space and large sliding fleetwood doors expand the living area leading to a spacious backyard with fireplace that makes indoor-outdoor living seamless. The chef inspired kitchen is truly what dreams are made of—vast center island, top of line appliances, quartz countertops, walk-in pantry, incredible butler’s pantry, mudroom with sink, and an abundance of storage are just a few of the luxurious amenities. An effortless transition into the extensive great room, formal dining room, and living room, all adjacent to a lovely powder room allow for unlimited family celebrations. Additionally, on this level is a generous guest bedroom with full bath, and even a spacious office that opens to a roomy outdoor patio that surrounds you in fresh beach air."

3201 Maple Avenue begins at $6.995M
