2917 N Poinsettia Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Perfectly set among grand, leafy trees and a lush garden is a very rare work of art. You won’t forget your first glimpse of this charming, classic, landmark home. Built in a Tudor Revival style to evoke an English countryside house, this property connects at a deep, emotional level. It’s one of only a few produced in the South Bay by a noted architect who dedicated advanced efforts to keeping the home’s design and character true to form.

This home is a beauty like you might expect to find in prestigious neighborhoods like Hancock Park or the Hollywood Hills, but it’s right here in our gorgeous beach town. Custom details include the use of distressed wood and natural stone, plaster walls, soaring ceilings, and a unique courtyard with stone pavers, which the home wraps around. Mature gardens and ivy-covered walls accentuate the authentic feel of this very special house, with its deep roots in historical aesthetics. It gets you dreaming.

Even more exhilarating is the location of this particular work of art. This short block of Poinsettia in Manhattan Beach’s Tree Section is a micro-neighborhood renowned for a storybook feel, quite unlike any other block in the area. A mature tree canopy sets the tone, while the narrow street accentuates all of the beautiful, well-kept homes and gardens. Over the decades, the close-knit block has built a reputation for conviviality.

People wait years to try to get into the area, and jump at the chance when an opportunity emerges. Could the next one to jump be you?
