As it turns out, the pinnacle of Manhattan Beach Sand Section has an address: 232 16th Street. Perched on an elevated, corner walkstreet lot just a 3-minute walk from both the sand & the energy of downtown Manhattan Beach, this 6 bed / 4.5 bath stunner boasts 3 levels of contemporary living and luxurious surprises around every corner. The open-concept top floor’s island kitchen, living room & dining room flow into a dramatic indoor-outdoor entertaining space with sitting room, heated terrace, outdoor barbecue & calming ocean views. The owner’s suite wing – one level below – is a retreat-within-a-retreat, and features a spa-like ensuite bath with soaking tub, rain shower room & separate vanities. Three generous bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms complete this floor. The home’s ground floor doubles as a guest suite, or could be a convenient source of rental income. With a bedroom/office, bathroom, kitchenette and media room opening to a relaxing walkstreet-facing patio, this level is built for the kind of laid-back entertaining that makes the Sand Section so desirable. Also on this floor is a spacious 4-car garage and an additional 5th parking spot… nearly unheard-of in this area. This Santa Barbara Modern home conceptualized by Matt Morris and drawn by Doug Leach sits just 14 homes from the sand (only traffic to cross includes the walking & biking kind that you find in the alley on Ocean Dr.), has been recently renovated and shows like a brand-new home.
