Just steps from the sand in North Manhattan Beach, 3012 Manhattan Avenue is a rare duplex offering with extraordinary upside. Currently improved with two upgraded 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, the property sits on a uniquely steep, elevated lot that unlocks dramatic, panoramic ocean views—a vantage point few neighboring homes can match. For buyers with vision, preliminary plans by renowned architect Louie Tomaro are included, providing a head start on creating a world-class coastal estate. Design possibilities include a stunning four-level single-family home with an attached luxury ADU studio—perfect as a guest retreat, private office, or income-producing rental. The existing two-car garage and upgraded infrastructure further enhance the property’s long-term value. Surrounded by vibrant dining, boutique shopping, and beachside nightlife, this property is equally compelling as a development opportunity today or a strategic buy-and-hold investment in one of Manhattan Beach’s most coveted neighborhoods.

More than a house, this is a beautiful and compelling story waiting for its next chapter to be written. The story begins on a tranquil, low-traffic cul-de-sac street, on a full street-to-alley lot with a coveted south-facing exposure that bathes the property in warm, California sunlight. Step inside and be transported to a time of relaxed elegance. The expansive living room welcomes you with its high, open wood beam ceiling and beautifully panelled walls, creating a spacious and airy feel that instantly calms the soul.

For nearly five decades, this home has been cherished by a single owner, a testament to its enduring charm and the immense pride of ownership that it inspires. It's a meticulously maintained retreat ready for its next caretaker. With a flexible layout, the home is currently a one-bedroom with a den (tax record shows two bedrooms), but it can easily be converted back to a two-bedroom. This home has lots of storage space, including a staircase that leads to a spacious attic...ready for your imagination for future use. The large, sun-drenched front yard is a canvas for your imagination, offering the perfect spot for a vibrant garden or a playful outdoor space. This location represents the best of the Sand Section lifestyle. Imagine a life where you can leave the car in the garage and walk to everything you need. At one end of the street is the iconic Sand Dune Park, and at the other, the Pacific Ocean—both are just a short walk away. Just blocks from your doorstep is the North End's vibrant scene, with its unique restaurants, upscale food and beverage store, retail shops, and yoga studios. For families, the distinguished Grandview Elementary is a short stroll down a charming, low-traffic path. Whether you choose to live in this classic gem as it is, expand its footprint, or build your dream home, the possibilities are endless. There's even a potential for ocean views (BTV) if fully developed, adding another layer to this incredible opportunity. This is more than a home; it’s the quintessential Manhattan Beach lifestyle experience. Are you ready to continue the story?
