436 27th Street

Perfectly positioned in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Sand Section, 436 27th St is a Coastal Contemporary beach house designed for the way beach life is actually lived-indoors, outdoors, and everywhere in between. Completed in 2019 by Titan and Co., this 4-bed, 4.5-bath home spans 3 levels with exceptional entertaining spaces and flexible living. The 1st floor, the ”Beach Room,” features a built-in bar and opens directly to the beautifully landscaped front patio, creating an ideal setup for sunset cocktails or ocean-air lounging. With a door for privacy, this versatile bonus room can also function as a 5th sleeping room. Upstairs, the bright, open top floor offers two distinct living areas surrounding a high-end kitchen anchored by an oversized quartz island, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf six-burner range, designer backsplash, and wet bar with wine fridge. A gas fireplace wrapped in dramatic floor-to-ceiling chevron tile adds another focal point, while built-in speakers w/ Sonos keep everything connected. The large covered ocean-view deck is a standout not only for its automatic shades and heaters, but also because it extends ~6 ft beyond the neighboring home, opening up a rare sightline down the street to the ocean. BBQs, dinners, cocktails, sunsets-this deck was made for all of it. The bedroom level includes 3 en-suite bedrooms, including a primary suite w/ its own covered patio, plus an additional guest bed and bath downstairs. A 3-stop elevator provides easy access throughout. Natural white oak flooring, dual-zone central air, an outdoor shower, and excellent parking complete the package. In addition to garage parking, the home’s unusual setback from the rear alley creates valuable off-street parking for at least one or two additional vehicles. Then there’s the location. Set on one of the first drive streets north of downtown Manhattan Beach, this is an idyllic middle ground: close enough to the beach and downtown, plus shops and restaurants in North Manhattan Beach, and one block from award-winning Grand View Elementary and Sand Dune Park. The drive-street setting also offers easy guest access and added separation from pedestrian traffic. Beautifully designed, thoughtfully positioned, and unusually functional for the Sand Section, this home checks all the boxes and then some. Ocean views? Check. Flexible 5th sleeping space? Absolutely. Elevator? Check. Rare deck sightlines and extra off-street parking? Now we’re talking. This is Manhattan Beach living, with the volume turned up.
