About this home

Perched on one of Manhattan Beach's most remarkable and tightly held view locations, 457 26th Street captures sweeping southwest ocean views stretching down the coastline toward Palos Verdes. Positioned above a landscaped pedestrian greenbelt and the open grounds of Grand View Elementary School, a California Distinguished School and National Blue Ribbon School, the home enjoys a level of openness, privacy, and coastal perspective that is virtually impossible to replicate elsewhere in Manhattan Beach. In the Sand Section, expansive ocean views and privacy rarely exist in the same place. Here, they do. Originally constructed in 2003 and comprehensively reimagined in 2019 by acclaimed Manhattan Beach architect Anthony Laney, premier local builder Jeff Strnad and designer Suzanne Ascher of Waterleaf Interiors, the residence offers approximately 4,022 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a three-stop elevator, and a three-car garage. Designed around the view, the upper level features a chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, expansive banquet seating, a dedicated office, BBQ deck, and open-concept living and dining spaces that flow seamlessly to a spectacular covered ocean-view terrace of approximately 483 square feet. Complete with built-in heaters and a fireplace, this extraordinary outdoor room serves as the centerpiece of the home and creates a true year-round indoor-outdoor living experience. The primary suite features an oversized walk-in closet and updated bath with a large multi-head shower and plumbing in place for a future soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms occupy the middle level, while the lower level offers a fifth bedroom currently used as a gym, a spacious beach room with a full bar and multiple televisions, laundry room, and direct access to an elevated patio overlooking the greenbelt. Combining a rare and irreplaceable view corridor, sophisticated modern design, and one of the Sand Section's most distinctive settings, 457 26th Street represents an exceptional opportunity to own a truly special Manhattan Beach residence.
