721 Marine Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

This coastal Cape Cod-style home tucked into the Tree Section of Manhattan Beach is a truly special property that rarely comes to market. Built custom for the current owner, the residence reflects a timeless approach to coastal living—blending classic design with a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle—all just moments from the Greenbelt, award-winning Grandview Elementary, and a quick bike ride to the beach.

A striking entrance sets the tone, welcoming you into a light-filled living room anchored by a fireplace and two-story vaulted ceilings. Upon entry, sightlines extend through the home to the backyard water feature beyond. Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring and travertine stone run throughout, reinforcing a sense of craftsmanship and timeless design. Just beyond, the formal dining area and butler’s pantry set the stage for gatherings. A main-level office or ensuite bedroom completes the floor, offering flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs.

The layout flows into the open-concept family room and kitchen—creating a warm, inviting heart of the home. A fireplace, breakfast nook, and direct backyard access enhance the flow. The kitchen features a large island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, dual ovens, a breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. A built-in wet bar adds to the home’s entertaining appeal.

Upstairs, three guest bedrooms offer comfort and scale, while the primary suite is positioned as a private retreat. Featuring custom built-ins, a spa-like bath, and a soaking tub overlooking the backyard, the space feels calm and private. A balcony off the suite is perfect for slow mornings or unwinding at sunset.

The backyard is where the home truly stands apart. Rare for the Tree Section, the expansive 40×40 outdoor space is designed for entertaining and everyday living, featuring an outdoor kitchen, built-in bar, BBQ, firepit, and covered lounge beneath a trellis.

Additional features include fresh paint throughout, a three-car garage with ample driveway parking, and 400 square feet of bonus space with a one-bedroom, one-bath au pair suite plus an additional flex room—ideal for a gym, media room, or creative studio.

Located minutes from Manhattan Beach’s best restaurants and shopping, this home is a true blend of traditional elegance and effortless coastal living.
