Beach House/Rare Rooftop Deck/9 Homes from sand/few blocks to Down Town
Welcome to Your California Coastal Retreat
Discover one of Manhattan Beach’s original seaside homes, thoughtfully restored to blend historic charm with timeless California design. Built in 1912 and tucked away on one of South Manhattan Beach’s most desirable Walk Streets, this private residence is just nine homes from the sand, offering the perfect balance of beach living, tranquility, and luxury.
Behind its original shiplap exterior lies a beautifully curated home where historic architecture meets modern coastal elegance. Designed by landscape and interior designer Janiece Snyder, every room has been thoughtfully crafted with artisan finishes, natural materials, and a relaxed sophistication inspired by life on the California coast.
A Home Designed for Gathering
The home comfortably accommodates family and friends with five beautifully appointed bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two designer powder rooms.
The spacious chef’s kitchen features Calacatta marble countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, generous prep space, and everything needed for memorable dinners and celebrations. A second designer kitchen on the lower level offers the perfect space for cocktails, coffee, beach snacks, or entertaining guests.
Whether preparing a holiday meal or sharing wine after sunset, every space has been designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
California Outdoor Living
The front porch is the heart of the home—a favorite gathering place year-round. Enjoy breakfast beneath the umbrella, afternoon conversations after the beach, or evenings around the fire pit under the stars.
One of the home’s most exceptional features is its rare grandfathered rooftop deck, a true Manhattan Beach treasure. Start your morning with coffee overlooking the neighborhood, relax with ocean breezes throughout the day, and experience unforgettable sunsets from one of the few rooftop decks permitted in this historic neighborhood.
After a day surfing, swimming, or walking the beach, rinse off in the private outdoor shower, complete with dedicated surfboard racks and convenient beach access, making it easy to transition from sand to home.
Surf-Inspired Suites
Each bedroom is named after one of California’s legendary surf breaks, celebrating the spirit of the Pacific Coast.
