Experience the apex of Strand living at this ocean front Manhattan Beach property. For sale in one of the best spots in town, this striking contemporary penthouse residence, approx 2,740 sq ft, is where you can ponder uplifting panoramas of coastline, ocean and sky from one of 3 private decks, or step outdoors to surf and swim in the waves. This 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom Manhattan Beach condo is one of two at this prized corner address, where you enjoy an extra 105 feet of ocean views along the north-facing walk street—a rare property for sale. Last year, this Manhattan Beach Strand home was taken down to the studs for a total style and tech refresh. The result is a 2-level designer home where you wake in a fireplace master suite, checking surf from your bedroom patio before stepping into a 73-inch soaking tub or ThermaSol steam shower, with aromatherapy, lighting and sound controlled on iPad or smartphone. So is everything else in this smart home, from security and blinds to temperature, lights and music—even the Thermador oven.

Walk down the hall to the sun-splashed living room and kitchen, where wondrous blue ocean views are framed by French white oak floors and porcelain tiles, and enjoy breakfast in a chic kitchen filled with white Italian cabinetry and Thermador appliances, before stepping onto the deck to savor Pacific Ocean breezes. The flow of the home is easygoing and sunlit, with an extra bedroom and bathroom on the lower level that's ideal for guests or use as an office. This Manhattan Beach condo caters to a versatile lifestyle, where quiet days can be spent working and enjoying the beach lifestyle, or entertaining friends over vivid sunsets on the deck and favorite vintages in the 450-bottle wine room gilded with Italian glass. At this central location, you can leave your car in the garage and pedal 5 minutes along the Strand to reach Downtown shopping and dining, or stroll 10 minutes to yoga or lunch at a sidewalk cafe in the charming North End.
