Big Sale of the Month – Beachfront Home at 2722 The Strand Closes at $17,750,000
November saw three beachfront homes or properties sell during the month which may be a nice sign for the many other home sellers on The Strand as it’s been a very slow market.
2722 The Strand was a very unique opportunity as it was beachfront corner double lot. The value was really in the land as the home was older and dated but the opportunity for a true legacy home wasn’t hard to see. The current home was a little over 6,000 feet (which in itself is a rarity) and the lot was slightly smaller than 7,000 square feet. According to the listing agent the lot size allowed for the build of an 11,500+ foot home which is just about impossible to replicate anywhere else…especially with the city no longer allowing lots to be combined.

The Newest Beachfront Offering at 2508 The Strand Manhattan Beach
If you happen to be a home buyer looking for a beachfront home in Manhattan Beach, there’s never been a wider array of possibilities than there are now. Each week seems to see another home hitting this high value market.
The latest home is located at 2508 The Strand. It’s a 4 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath single family home with approximately 4,554 square feet on a standard 3,500+ foot lot. It gets a little bit of extra traffic in an around it due to the parking lots at nearby Bruce’s Beach but overall the location is excellent as it’s fairly close to downtown but slightly closer for commuters. It’s a very unique home and per the listing description “Distinctively designed by Giorgio Dazzan and Associates, the home is a blend of curvilinear shapes and sleek finish detail that create interest and intrigue throughout.” It was built in 2009 and is priced at $12,900,000.
