One block from the coast and the Manhattan Beach Strand, this top-floor apartment puts the Pacific practically at your door. Ocean views reach you from both the living room and the bedroom, where large windows and a Juliette balcony pull in the sea breeze without you even stepping outside. The building is modern and comfortable, with the rare convenience of in-unit laundry and a dedicated parking space. When you're ready to explore, the Strand is a short walk away – or head a little further for the cafes and boutiques of Manhattan Beach's Downtown Village.
