Live the Manhattan Beach lifestyle, just steps from downtown and the beach! This fresh, remodeled and flexible home offers an open floor plan, four bedrooms and both an attractive deck just off the family room and a serene, private backyard surrounded by bamboo. The kitchen is always the center of any home, and that's certainly true here with the spacious, open kitchen featuring an island (with seating), endless storage, and newer stainless steel appliances. Keep up with family, friends or the big game on the big screen in the adjoining family room, with its high, beamed ceilings and plenty of light. Enjoy the fruits of your cooking labors indoors in a dedicated dining space, or dine al fresco on the deck just outside.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, sharing a remodeled hallway bath. Downstairs is a spacious primary suite with large walk-in closet and updated bath. Laundry is inside in a dedicated room with lots of extra storage. It's hard to match this combination of offerings so close to the beating heart of the city. Leave the cars parked and head out to the beach or a night on the town, maybe just skitter out for a quick ice cream - it's all sooo close!
