Description

Perched just steps from the sand and the vibrant shops and restaurants along Highland Avenue, 3601 Bayview Drive captures the very essence of coastal Manhattan Beach living. From its commanding corner position, this residence offers breathtaking, unobstructable panoramic ocean views that rival those of homes on The Strand—where sunsets paint the horizon and the rhythmic sound of waves becomes part of your daily soundtrack. The top floor is the showpiece—a light-filled great room with a wraparound deck that feels like the bow of a ship overlooking the Pacific. The chef’s kitchen, outfitted with Thermador professional appliances, a stone-topped center island, and L-shaped counters, seamlessly connects to the dining and living areas centered around a natural-stone fireplace. Every detail draws your attention back to the 180-degree coastal views stretching from Palos Verdes to Malibu. The primary suite opens to a private south-facing deck and features a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub, waterfall shower, and herringbone stone flooring. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bath. The lower level serves as a versatile “beach room” with soaring ceilings, a full bath, and direct access to an outdoor patio complete with a shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. This entertaining space offers effortless indoor-outdoor flow and easy access to the sidewalk leading straight to the ocean. And don’t overlook the home’s rare three-car garage—a coveted feature ideal for storing cars, surfboards, and beach gear. Situated in one of Manhattan Beach’s most desirable locations with great walkability and convenient proximity to LAX, the 405 and 105 freeways, major employment centers, and surrounding coastal cities—this residence offers the ultimate balance of accessibility and serenity. With over $1.4 million in thoughtful renovations, 3601 Bayview Drive stands as a refined yet inviting oasis by the sea, blending craftsmanship, comfort, and the quintessential beach lifestyle.
