Description

This is a rare opportunity to own your own slice of paradise with this oceanfront condo on The Strand in the heart of Manhattan Beach. Located directly on the boardwalk, this home offers truly panoramic ocean views stretching from Palos Verdes to Malibu. Featuring 1,690 square feet of living space, 1304 The Strand offers 3 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The expansive living room is highlighted by a fireplace and breathtaking ocean views, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. The dining room also enjoys equally dramatic ocean views and provides ample space for a full dining set, making it perfect for gatherings with family and friends. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry and counter space, along with—you guessed it—more incredible ocean views. Additional interior features include a dedicated interior laundry room and a functional layout that maximizes both comfort and livability. The home also offers two generous balconies: one located just off the living room and another off the primary bedroom, providing multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy the sights, sounds, and ocean breezes of beachfront living. As every beach homeowner knows, parking is at a premium, and this property delivers with one space in a shared enclosed two-car garage plus an additional driveway space, offering convenient, secure, parking on The Strand. As you know, real estate is all about location, location, location, and this home’s setting is truly second to none. Situated directly beachfront, you are just steps from the boardwalk, sand, the Manhattan Beach Pier, volleyball courts, popular restaurants, shopping, and more. This condo is located in a three-unit building and occupies the top level, with no unit above, providing enhanced privacy and elevated ocean views. Properties on The Strand rarely come on the market, and opportunities like this are few and far between. Do not miss this chance to experience the iconic “love where you live” beach lifestyle that most people only dream about.
