There are a lot of great neighborhoods in Manhattan Beach, but for families looking for the rare combination of a short walk to the beach, Downtown and award-winning Robinson Elementary, the flat walk streets of South Manhattan are pretty hard to beat.

Custom built in 2005 and extensively updated in 2016–2017, this 4-bedroom, 5-bath home offers approximately 4,448 square feet on a slightly oversized 2,738-square-foot lot.

A private bedroom and bath and three-car garage complete the level. The middle level features three bedrooms and three baths, anchored by an unusually generous primary suite with a large bedroom, beautifully updated bath and substantial walk-in closet.
