1161 8th St Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Searching for a home often feels more like a scavenger hunt. After traipsing through dozens of homes, you'll likely find yourself wishing that the location of House #3, the floor plan of House #9 and the kitchen of House #6 could somehow be mashed together to create the ideal place to truly call your own.
But as fun as it would be to create a Franken-house from the best bits of other homes, it would be far easier to simply choose 1161 8th Street in highly-desirable East Manhattan Beach. Situated on a commanding corner lot less than 5 minutes from downtown Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village and Mira Costa High School, this 3,005 SF home boasts undeniable curb appeal and room for everything and everyone.
A double-door entry grants you access to two levels of luxury, with the top level housing a dramatically-sunken living room with vaulted ceilings, balcony access, fireplace and built-in shelving. The adjacent dining room flows into a true chef's kitchen with Frigidaire appliances, plenty of work space and bar seating. Beyond the bar area lies a charming breakfast nook with window seat, and the upstairs landing opens to a large, sunlit terrace.
The massive, vaulted owner's suite is also located on this level, and includes a double-door entry, huge walk-in closet and resort-style ensuite bathroom with double sinks, soaking tub and walk-in shower.
Downstairs, a more casual family room with fireplace opens to the home's dramatic, wraparound front terrace. This lushly-landscaped space offers plenty of seating space for those moments when the party spills outside. The lower level also includes three generous bedrooms, one of which – thanks to its ensuite bathroom – is perfect as a guest room or in-laws' quarters.
With Pennekamp Elementary & Mira Costa High School a quick stroll away, over 3,000 SF of luxurious living space, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces and an extravagant owner's suite, 1161 8th Street is where your scavenger hunt ends… but only if you act fast.
