Welcome home to this beautifully modernized beach cottage, ideally situated on a corner lot in the heart of Manhattan Beach. Thoughtfully preserved on the outside to retain its original cottage charm, the home has been completely reimagined inside with stylish designer finishes and modern comforts—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking single-story living just blocks from Downtown Manhattan Beach and the ocean. Step inside to a bright, open living area anchored by a recently remodeled kitchen featuring stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a tile backsplash, newer appliances, and a breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious great room with charming shiplap ceilings and its own beautifully updated bathroom with a walk-in shower. This versatile space offers wonderful flexibility to enjoy as an expansive great room or create a private primary suite, depending on your needs. Down the hallway are two additional bedrooms that share a second beautifully updated bathroom, also featuring a walk-in shower. Central air conditioning and heat serve the entire main level for year-round comfort. The third bedroom is part of a private guest suite located above the two-car garage, with its own entrance from the patio, bathroom, and kitchenette—ideal for visiting guests, extended family, a private home office, or a quiet retreat. The two-car garage is conveniently accessed from 12th Street, adding to the ease and functionality of this desirable corner-lot setting. For those looking ahead, the property also offers exciting potential to expand upward and create additional living space, subject to applicable City approvals and development requirements. And then there’s the location. Just a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean, you’re moments from the shops, restaurants, and energy of Downtown Manhattan Beach, as well as the pier, Live Oak Park, the Wood Chip Trail, City Hall, and the library. Enjoy the charm of a classic Manhattan Beach cottage, the comfort and flexibility of a thoughtfully modernized interior, and an incredible coastal lifestyle—all right outside your door.
