1728 Laurel Avenue

This ultra-custom California Coastal home is situated on an oversized corner lot in the coveted American Martyrs area of Manhattan Beach's Tree Section, offering an easy walk or bike ride to the beach and downtown. The original owners tailored the design to create a functional family home that also serves as a timeless architectural showpiece, reflecting refined yet casual beach living. A charming brick walkway leads from the quintessential white picket fence to a welcoming covered porch with a darling Dutch door that invites in ocean breezes. Outdoor space is a sought-after commodity this close to the beach, and the backyard does not disappoint. The newly built pool offers a private oasis, perfect for both entertaining and relaxing under the California sun. The family room features folding panoramic doors that seamlessly extend the living space to the covered back patio, complete with a patio heater, outdoor TV, fireplace, and outdoor kitchen. These amenities make the outdoor space a natural extension of the home's casual living areas, perfect for enjoying poolside gatherings. Designed for the original owners rather than as a builder's spec, this home is distinguished by thoughtfully placed amenities and meticulous attention to detail. Interior touches like shiplap siding, seagrass wall coverings, coffered ceilings, built-in bench seating, glass subway tiles, and delicate accents of crystal and glass balance the bold, rich lines of this classic coastal home, making it truly unique in the heart of Manhattan Beach.
