Offers due by Tuesday 5/19 at noon! Just two miles from the shoreline sits this sun-splashed bungalow that captures the very essence of the California dream, ready for its next steward to begin their own chapter of coastal living. Step inside and feel the immediate shift in energy. The floor plan is anchored by light white oak engineered wood floors that stretch across an airy, open living space. The palette is organic and restorative, designed to be a soft canvas for a life well-lived. For those warmer afternoons, a modern ductless air conditioning system ensures the atmosphere remains as crisp and cool as a Pacific breeze. The heart of the home - the kitchen - enjoys thoughtfully curated cabinetry boasting ample storage and stainless steel appliances. Down the hallway, the sanctuary continues with two serene bedrooms and a beautifully appointed full bathroom. The primary suite is a true indoor-outdoor lover's dream where sliding glass doors reveal a spacious backyard, a fully fenced private oasis recently transformed with lush landscaping. Here, new privacy hedges create a verdant wall of green, while mature foliage at the rear provides a deep, textured backdrop to overlook from the comfort of your bed. It is a garden meant for bare feet, alfresco dining, and watching the sky turn to velvet at dusk. Living here is guaranteed to inspire a life full of intentional moments. It's a two-mile cruise down Manhattan Beach Boulevard directly to the iconic pier and the vibrant energy of downtown. It's starting your Saturday at a nearby yoga studio, followed by a curated grocery run to the new Erewhon or the neighborhood Trader Joe's just up the street. Whether you're strolling the scenic Strand or enjoying a slow morning at a local cafe, like Pursue Coffee or goodboybob Coffee Roasters, the very best of the "MB lifestyle" is at your fingertips. With a washer and dryer tucked into the one-car garage, the home offers a seamless blend of practicality and poetic charm. For those seeking a forever legacy, the property comes with professionally designed architectural plans to expand and transform the space into a 3,488-square-foot, two-story residence. This future vision includes a new garage, expansive living volumes, a generous primary wing, and an ADU perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or rental income. Whether you choose to cherish the bungalow's current soul or build your dream home, you are grounded in the award-winning Manhattan Beach Unified School District with effortless access to the best of Los Angeles. This is more than a home; it is the foundation for a life of laid-back sophistication in one of the most desirable neighborhoods. Welcome home!
