About 636 12th Street
Welcome to one of Manhattan Beach's most desirable enclaves, where the best of the Tree, Sand, and Hill Sections converge. Once considered a hidden gem, the American Martyrs area has become the place to be! This lightly lived-in, Doug Leach-designed home captures everything that makes this location exceptional. Just moments from downtown Manhattan Beach and the iconic pier, this Coastal Architecture residence offers breathtaking panoramic ocean views from nearly every room. Thoughtfully designed with luxury and livability in mind, the home spans 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a media room, wine cellar, and a south-facing 236 sq ft lanai/deck perfect for indoor-outdoor dining or endless coastal daydreaming. The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen featuring a 50 sq ft center island, premium Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances, and seamless flow into a spacious great room with two balconies overlooking the Sand Section, all the way to the glittering lights from Malibu to the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Retreat to the expansive primary suite, complete with a fireplace, private balcony, and an oversized 150 sq ft walk-in closet. Finishes include stone surfaces, Provenza details, and wide plank, hand-distressed oak flooring. Additional high-end features include a 3-car garage, elevator, Generac whole-home generator, and a Savant Smart Home system for effortless modern living. Location is everything and here, you're perfectly positioned. Just minutes to Metlox Plaza's shops, dining, the 5-star, Shade Hotel, and vibrant Downtown MB. Enjoy direct beach access by heading west down Manhattan Beach Boulevard straight to the pier. With easy acces to The Strand, the ocean lifestyle is right at your doorstep. This isn't just a home it's a lifestyle. And it's waiting for you in one of the most sought-after areas in Southern California!
