417 23rd Street

This bright and distinctive tropical townhome is located on a corner, right in the virtual center of the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach. It’s a close walk to the water, to downtown and to the burgeoning North End, and literally just steps to Grand View elementary. Step up, and the home’s bold design welcomes you with a 3-story light well at the entrance. The top-floor great room is bathed in natural light from skylights, ample windows and foldaway doors that lead out to the comfy, west-facing deck, with ocean peeks. A fully modern kitchen features custom cabinetry, a pantry with pull-out shelving, newer appliances, stone countertops and access to a dedicated barbecue porch. Beautiful limestone surrounds the fireplace at the center of the spacious family room, with an inviting dining area nearby, opening out to the balcony. The large primary suite has hardwood floors, two walk-in closets, a private balcony and spa-like bath, showcasing river rock, iridescent glass tiles, a jetted tub and dual sinks. Both of the other bedrooms are sizable, ensuite, and with outdoor access. Each bedroom and bath displays its own cool style. Outside, an area designed as a carport and side yard has been enclosed and provided with turf, making for an outdoor space that’s almost unheard of in the Sand Section, particularly among townhomes. Quite unlike any other townhome on the market today, this property offers a compelling mix of superb location, sizable living spaces, large bedrooms and outdoor space. It’s a combination that simply does not come around often. This would be the right time to take a look, before someone else gets to it first!
