Love and Live in this Manhattan Beach stand alone, single level residence that has been reimagined and updated, or, build your giant 2 story dream home on this flat lot that is in a great location. This Beach Haven is a single family residence, in prestin and updated condition. The large windows bring in lots of bright light, to this spacious indoor living area. The home features 2 large bedrooms in the main house and a large 3rd bedroom with an additional living room area in the rear detached stand alone dwelling(500sqft) that also has a good size kitchen and full bathroom. This was originally permitted as a 2nd stand alone garage of which the previous owners made these conversions. Inside the main home, the wood floors throughout have been refinished to a light wood color for a natural appearance. The taller ceilings make this home feel large. There are updates throughout to make everything feel fresh and new, such as new paint, new expanded kitchen ceilings, new bathroom updated tiles, to give a fresh look. The private secured backyard is great for entertaining friends and family, birthday parties or events.  The garage opens from both ends, the front and the rear, and is ideal to have an instant additional event/party room. Your family and guests can also gather in the additional bonus room(300sqft), the enclosed patio featuring a fireplace and lots of windows that face towards the backyard, making it a great lounge area with an indoor outdoor vibe.
