This exceptional beachfront property features a duplex on an oversized 3,505 sq.ft. lot along Manhattan Beach’s iconic Strand. This 33′ x 105′ lot is 45% larger than the typical 2,400 sq.ft. (30′ x 80′) Hermosa Beach Strand lot, and 30% larger than the standard 2,700 sq.ft. (30′ x 90′) Manhattan Beach walk street lot. The front structure features a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, while a detached rental unit sits adjacent to Ocean Drive. Between them lies a private courtyard with parking for three vehicles. Short-term vacation rentals are an option, adding further income flexibility.
The property’s Residential High-Density Zoning, combined with its generous lot size, offers unique development possibilities. Potential projects include constructing a luxurious single-family residence with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or developing two large townhomes (verify with your architect). Notably, two condos on a similarly sized lot just a couple blocks south sold for a combined total of nearly $16 million, encompassing approximately 7,000 sq.ft. (4016 The Strand at $8.25M and 4018 The Strand at $7.6M). Whether you’re looking to build and sell one unit to offset the cost of owning the other, or create a dream home, few beachfront parcels offer this optionality.
Set above a world-renown surf break, the property combines the prestige of a Strand address with everyday convenience. Enjoy a five-minute stroll to the North End’s cafés and restaurants or take a quick seven-minute bike ride to the Manhattan Beach Pier’s vibrant shops and dining scene. With LAX and the West Side easily accessible, and undergrounding of neighborhood utilities underway, this is a prime opportunity to invest in beachfront real estate that blends lifestyle, location, and lasting value.
