About this property
Manhattan Beach Strand. This Strand home is a masterwork of contemporary coastal architecture. Designed by the renowned KAA Design Group and built by Baldwin Construction, this oceanfront residence is a rare legacy property that balances high-end luxury with the effortless spirit of California beach living. Rising three stories above the sand, the home is a study in organic warmth and modern precision. The design utilizes a palette of walnut hardwood, mahogany accents, and floor-to-ceiling bronze-framed glass. Offering approximately 5,372 square feet of meticulously planned living space. The home offers 4 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Designed to offer privacy while maintaining an open, airy flow. An elevator serves all levels leading from the Strand-level "entertainer’s " floor—complete with a kitchenette, outdoor dining area with built in BBQ, fireplace, beach bath, and outdoor shower—up to the grand living areas defined by 9-foot ceilings, gourmet kitchen with spectacular ocean views. The 3rd floor primary suite is first class. The views are so dramatic they almost don’t seem real, but they’re real. The suite has its own oceanfront office, a private balcony and two walk-in closets, one of which is 15 feet deep. The 3rd floor also has a separate laundry. While the panoramic vistas stretch from the Palos Verdes all the way to Malibu, the true centerpiece of this location is the view of the Manhattan Beach Pier. The home is uniquely positioned to offer some of the best views of the iconic pier from a private residence. Whether you’re on the primary suite balcony or the main living terrace, the pier serves as a stunning, floodlit focal point against the Pacific Ocean. This location is ideal for gatherings with family and friends, whether its days at the beach out front of the house or its proximity to Downtown Manhattan Beach with the best restaurants in the city minutes away.
