2300 Rue John

Some homes win you over with the house. This one starts with the street. Set on coveted John Street in Manhattan Beach’s Tree Section, one of the neighborhood’s wider and most desirable streets, this beautifully remodeled Cape Cod estate pairs an A++ location with exceptional scale. The extra street width allows parking on both sides while still maintaining a spacious, open feel, a rarity in the Trees. Add a prized Martyrs-area setting near American Martyrs Church and School, and the location alone makes a compelling case. Then there’s the size: approximately 5,220 sq. ft. of living space on an oversized approximately 6,700 sq. ft. corner lot-both notably generous for the Tree Section. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer, curved staircase, expansive windows, and wide-plank oak floors set a warm, sophisticated tone. Every bedroom enjoys an en suite bath, while a main-level suite with French doors to the yard is ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The gathering spaces shine, led by a bespoke kitchen with Cambria countertops, an oversized island, custom cabinetry, an 8-burner range, a beverage refrigerator, and a glass wine display. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat with a two-sided fireplace, window seat, covered balcony with outdoor fireplace, and bonus room for work, wellness, or lounging. The spa-inspired bath adds skylights, a sauna, a soaking tub, a spacious shower, and a custom walk-in closet. A flexible ADU brings even more possibility, with sliding glass walls opening to the garden, kitchenette, and full bath-perfect for guests, an office, a studio, a wellness space, or added value. Outside, the Jerusalem stone, mature landscaping, turf, custom lighting, fire pit, and Mont Alpi outdoor kitchen create an effortless setting for entertaining. Exceptional street. Exceptional lot. Exceptional scale. And a beautifully reimagined home in one of the Tree Section’s most sought-after locations.
