This full Strand lot encompassing 3,326 square feet of prime beachfront real estate is “shovel ready.” 304 The Strand includes completed new home plans designed by the award winning architect Anthony Laney, offering potential for further customization. Superior location in the prestigious South end of Manhattan Beach, this is more than a home; it is an invitation to experience life at the water’s edge. No expense was spared in this soft contemporary 3 story home design. The entire living room level opens to an uninterrupted view. The sliding glass doors extend beyond the floor and ceiling, highlighting the unique proportions of the primary level. A generous entry foyer, provides an unexpected moment of arrival and the floating stair allows for free circulation on all sides. The top level features a primary bedroom, reminiscent of a 5-star resort, with all spaces opening up to the view. A generous deck creates a sense of privacy, by positioning the bedroom away from the edge of the glass. Still, the most unique feature is positioned on the Strand level.

The current home was remodeled in 2015 and offers incredible ocean views complete with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

Features include a large roof top deck with panoramic white-water views and 2 spacious decks off the living space as well as a 3-car garage. This property offers an exclusive slice of paradise!
