When the original home was built decades ago, a simple single story bungalow was all anyone seemed to need. Over the years, each new owner contributed something special. First, it was additional square footage and a couple more bedrooms. Later families added finishing touches to the floors, bathrooms, kitchen and the expansive yard. Today, this Manhattan Beach home depicts the perfect blend of beach modern style influenced by the history of those who have called it “home” over the past half century. A double door entry whisks guests through the foyer and into a warm living and dining area, accented with wood-beamed ceilings. Pausing in the kitchen to enjoy the aroma of a home-cooked meal, the next destination is the family room. From there you can easily see the kids playing on the grass in the backyard. A quick change of clothes and the next thing you know you are covered in sweat and have grass stains on your knees from playing goalie and making overdramatic saves. There is a whole new set of experiences and stories to come at 1659 3rd Street. This home has a tremendous history. The next chapter is up to you.
