Description

Discover timeless Tudor charm on a quiet, tucked-away block in Manhattan Beach's coveted northwest Tree Section. Built in 1991 by a craftsman for his mother, this custom home is rich with thoughtful architectural details that make a lasting first impression. A round-top solid wood entry door with a stained-glass rosette under a wood trellis, and classic diamond-pane windows hint at the exceptional quality found throughout. Bathed in natural light from more than 30 windows and six skylights, the home feels bright and inviting. Sheltered by the dunes to the west, the property enjoys cool ocean breezes year-round, creating a naturally comfortable indoor climate that the owners say has never required air conditioning. Offering approximately 4,300 square feet across two levels, the home features dual staircases for effortless flow. The main level is designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Two sunken gathering spaces are connected by a wet bar with wine storage. The formal living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful diamond-pane windows, and the spacious family room opens seamlessly to the private outdoor living area. Plus, a dedicated home office showcases charming bay-window seating with built-in storage and a convenient connected bathroom. The expansive kitchen spans nearly 20 feet, connects to the dining room and family room, features a massive center island and doors that open to the outdoor area. Upstairs, soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams create an impressive sense of volume. The private primary suite offers a cozy wood burning fireplace, generous walk in closet, and bath with a jetted soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms complete the second floor, providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Rare for the neighborhood, the property offers parking for up to seven vehicles, including an extra-wide two-car garage, oversized carport, driveway parking, and three additional spaces across the frontage. Perfectly positioned three blocks from the North End's popular shops and restaurants and only 5 blocks from the beach, this home is filled with enduring character, and presents a rare opportunity for the next lucky owner to add their personal touch while enjoying an extraordinary coastal lifestyle from day one.
