Welcome to 721 12th Street, an exquisite property offering unbeatable walkability in the heart of Manhattan Beach. This thoughtfully designed home features an elevator, providing convenient access to all levels.
The lower level, previously a separate studio, has been seamlessly integrated into the main house. A La Cantina door spans the entire rear wall, flooding the space with natural light. The addition of a wine closet, bar, and granite-topped kitchen, along with custom cabinetry, a queen-size wall bed, and a built-in desk, maximizes functionality—making the space ideal for entertaining, hosting guests, or working from home. Notably, this area remains separate from the primary living quarters, offering added versatility and privacy.
Step outside to a private backyard oasis, complete with a tranquil waterfall, stone gas fire pit, and turf lawn—epitomizing the best of indoor/outdoor California living.
On the second floor, you’ll find the primary retreat, a true haven of comfort and style. This suite includes a private balcony, fireplace, and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins. The spa-inspired bath features a large soaking tub and a generous stand-in shower with pebble flooring. Two additional bedrooms with Juliette railings, a full bath, and an upgraded laundry room with granite countertops and cabinetry complete this level.
The upper floor has been beautifully reimagined with a renovated kitchen featuring Taj Mahal quartzite counters, a Sub-Zero fridge, wine fridge, and a Thermador range and oven, elevating the culinary experience. A breakfast nook with built-in bench seating and surrounding ocean-view windows offers a cozy setting for casual dining. Adjacent to the kitchen, an ocean peek patio provides serene coastal views, while a spacious outdoor terrace accommodates al fresco dining for up to six guests. A walk-in pantry ensures ample storage for all your essentials.Also on this level is the office/5th bedroom, thoughtfully designed with built-in bookshelves, cabinetry, and a desk. An oversized balcony offers a peaceful escape with breathtaking views of the backyard and mountains.
This home is a rare gem, blending elegance, functionality, and thoughtful design—perfectly positioned near downtown, the beach, and top-rated local schools. A truly ideal setting to enjoy the best of Manhattan Beach living.
