This contemporary townhouse looks amazing, and we think you'll agree! We just finished an extensive remodel and love how it turned out! Live just steps from the sand in this west facing gem with panoramic white water ocean views. But come see for yourself! Or think of it for its great short term furnished rental potential. Most of the lighting has been replaced with contemporary matte black fixtures. This theme has been carried into the new luxurious master bath with black matte fixtures in the soaking tub and walk-in shower. The entry foyer has ocean views as the does the master suite and second bedroom. Come upstairs (black matte handrails & new low pile charcoal carpet stairs) and be blown away the huge expanse of windows and the panoramic ocean views. Sit at the breakfast bar or have a sip of wine on the outside deck...this is a great place to entertain. There's a wine refrigerator in the stylish kitchen with stainless steel appliances. And if you like to surf, you are close to what is considered one of Southern California's best surfing locations! Parking is easy...2 side by side spots in the secure gated garage plus another dedicated parking space on Crest Drive. Low HOA dues. This home is located in Manhattan Beach's very desirable north end, close to great restaurants, the Strand, shops, and award-winning schools. LAX and the freeways are nearby. This is more than a home...It's the coveted Manhattan Beach lifestyle.
