As it turns out, the pinnacle of Manhattan Beach Sand Section has an address: 232 16th Street. Perched on an elevated, corner walkstreet lot just a 3-minute walk from both the sand and the energy of downtown Manhattan Beach, this 5 bed / 5 bath stunner boasts 3 levels of contemporary living and luxurious surprises around every corner. The open-concept top floor’s island kitchen, living room & dining room flow into a dramatic indoor-outdoor entertaining space with sitting room, heated terrace, outdoor barbecue and calming ocean views.
The owner’s suite wing – one level below – is a retreat-within-a-retreat, and features a spa-like ensuite bath with soaking tub, rain shower room and separate vanities. Three generous guest bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms complete this floor.
The home’s ground floor doubles as a guest suite, and could be a convenient source of rental income. With a bedroom, bathroom, office, kitchenette and media room opening to a relaxing walkstreet-facing patio, this level is built for the kind of laid-back entertaining that makes the Sand Section so desirable. Also on this floor is a spacious 4-car garage and an additional 5th parking spot… nearly unheard-of in this area.
This Santa Barbara Contemporary home drawn by Doug Leach sits just 14 homes from the sand (with no traffic to deal with), has been recently renovated and shows like a brand-new home.
