Big Lot, Big Potential"”Modern Coastal Canvas in the Knolls. Looking for space, light, and location with room to make it your own? This nearly 3400 sq. ft. home on an oversized 7,500 sq. ft. lot (50 x 150) in the heart of Manhattan Beach's coveted Mira Costa neighborhood (aka The Knolls) is the opportunity you've been waiting for"”but rarely find at this price point. Built in the '90s and lovingly maintained, this home offers all the right ingredients: an expansive floor plan, excellent natural light, and unbeatable lot size.

The family room flows into a spacious kitchen with an island, gas range, marble counters, and generous cabinetry"”plus a cozy living room with fireplace and wet bar, and even a separate office for quiet productivity. Upstairs, four bedrooms, two full baths, and a large laundry room offer comfort and flexibility.
