Built in a “Plantation” style, this new spec home checks every box for what’s current in Manhattan Beach, from the outside in.
A big, open first level features wide-plank white oak flooring, a large, open kitchen with white marble counters and a huge fridge/freezer combo with a sidecar “wine tower” fridge beside that, and a big family room opening to the (smallish) backyard. One accent on the first floor is a sliding barn door that covers the wet bar in the formal living room. The rough-hewn, grey-stained wood and the door itself make for an almost playful statement.
Every bathroom is different. The builders tried out something new in each one. Find the first-floor bath, tucked away to the left behind the stairwell – there, using tile, they created the illusion of a bamboo wall. We have it in the photo here, but you should see it in person. Five of the bedrooms are large, and the master gets treetop views out toward the north. The combination of crowd-pleasing style and extra attention to detail made this 2015 build a must-have. The builders drew an offer before officially coming to market.
