Completely remodeled in the 1989 by critically acclaimed and award-winning architect Claire Weisz, this is a special home on an oversized lot in Manhattan Beach. The glass and wood features create a light and bright environment. It offers open-concept and yet offers defined living areas. A formal entrance when you first walk in leads to a formal living room with 2-story vaulted ceilings. A fireplace nestled between built-in shelving is the main focal point. Windows everywhere let in so much light. A glass wall and short staircase separate the living room from the family room and kitchen. The family room enjoys high ceilings and ample space. The kitchen and dining area are creatively designed to open up to the living space and also enjoy as much natural light as possible. Off the formal living room is a spacious office or den with a bay window. A bedroom, full bathroom and laundry room complete the first floor. The stairs lead to a loft area with a space for shelving or a desk. Both the loft and primary suite have access to the outdoor area with outdoor fireplace and sitting area. There is a detached 2-car garage and large backyard and patio area. The original white oak floors have been newly refinished. This is a unique home with opportunity to update to your personal taste and options to add on square footage.  Lovely east Manhattan Beach neighborhood. Close to restaurants and shopping. Arrive in downtown Manhattan Beach and the Strand by car in minutes.
