Exquisite Coastal Retreat With Unmatched Ocean Views

Located at the heart of the world-famous Manhattan Beach Strand, 1204 The Strand is a masterwork of contemporary coastal architecture. Designed by the renowned KAA Design Group (led by Grant Kirkpatrick) and built by Baldwin Construction, this residence is a rare legacy property that balances high-end luxury with the effortless spirit of California beach living. Rising three stories above the sand, the home is a study in organic warmth and modern precision. The design utilizes a palette of walnut hardwood, mahogany accents, and floor-to-ceiling bronze-framed glass. Approximately five thousand three hundred seventy-two square feet of meticulously planned living space includes four spacious bedrooms and four and one-half bathrooms designed to offer privacy while maintaining an open, airy flow. An elevator serves all levels leading from the Strand-level ”entertainer’s” floor—complete with a kitchenette, outdoor dining area with built-in barbecue, fireplace, beach bath, and outdoor shower—up to the grand living areas defined by nine-foot ceilings and gourmet kitchen with spectacular ocean views. The third-floor primary suite is first class. The views are so dramatic they almost don’t seem real, but they are real. The suite has its own oceanfront office, a private balcony and two walk-in closets, one of which is fifteen feet deep. The third floor also has a separate laundry room. While the panoramic vistas stretch from Palos Verdes all the way to Malibu, the true centerpiece of this location is the view of the Manhattan Beach Pier. The home is uniquely positioned to offer some of the best views of the iconic pier from a private residence. Whether you are on the primary suite balcony or the main living terrace, the pier serves as a stunning floodlit focal point against the Pacific Ocean. This location is ideal for gatherings with family and friends; whether it be days at the beach out front of the house or its proximity to Downtown Manhattan Beach with some of the best restaurants in the city just minutes away.
