A compelling value for the savvy buyer with a winning combination of features!  The essence of this home is modernist zen, with clean lines, high ceilings and walls of glass, reminiscent of California's Golden Age when architects like Ray Kappe were designing timeless post-and-beam homes to blend home and nature.  It's situated high above the greenbelt with open views of greenery from virtually every window, enjoying all day sunlight and glowing sunsets.  Located on a rare private drive in the highly desirable Martyrs neighborhood, the setting is similar to a mini walk street.  It's traffic-free and safe for kids to ride bikes and play ball.  Only a handful of homes in Manhattan Beach enjoy this type of privacy and seclusion.  The layout is both entertainment and family friendly, with main living spaces flowing seamlessly to the oversized back yard landscaped with fruit trees and herbs.  Three bedrooms reside upstairs, including the master with beautiful treetop views, two kid's bedrooms and a hall bath. One bedroom is downstairs and doubles as a perfect guest suite, family room or home office. Located at the heart of the Tree Section, just 3 blocks to American Martyrs and a short walk to Pacific Elementary, Live Oak Park, the beach and downtown boutiques and restaurants, you'll have easy access to everything that represents the iconic lifestyle of Manhattan Beach.
