Listing Notes
A rare opportunity to reimagine an exceptional detached two-family residence on one of Manhattan Beach's most prestigious and sought-after streets. Set on a generous 40' x 100' lot with an impressive 23' x 46' building footprint, this substantial home offers the perfect canvas for renovation, allowing its next owner to create a truly extraordinary waterfront-lifestyle residence or an exceptional investment property. A stately granite and wrought-iron fence, detached garage, and private driveway accommodating 2-3 vehicles create an elegant arrival. Inside, expansive sun-filled interiors offer oversized rooms, decorative ceiling moldings, recessed lighting, central air conditioning and heating, abundant closet space, and exceptional storage throughout. Two spacious porches extend from the living rooms, while the finished basement with soaring ceilings features a spa-inspired bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub and sauna, offering outstanding flexibility for recreation, wellness, or extended living. Two separate boilers and two water heaters further enhance the home's functionality. The fully fenced backyard is designed for relaxation and entertaining, highlighted by a sparkling in-ground swimming pool that creates a private outdoor retreat. Perfectly positioned just moments from the beach, the bay, neighborhood parks, shopping, acclaimed restaurants, public transportation, and highly regarded schools, including P.S. 195, Bay Academy, and Goldstein High School, this is a remarkable opportunity to restore, redesign, and elevate a residence of exceptional scale in one of Brooklyn's most coveted waterfront neighborhoods. Some photographs have been virtually staged to illustrate the property's renovation potential.
