High above the street in the iconic Hill Section of Manhattan Beach, this Southwest-facing corner estate feels like its own private resort"”where ocean breezes drift in, sunlight pours through soaring ceilings, and every level delivers a new experience. In a city where space, privacy, and ocean vistas are hard to come by, the Hill Section is one of the few neighborhoods that offers all three"”along with a short stroll to the beach, easy access to downtown, and walking distance to award-winning Robinson Elementary.

Then there's the level no one sees coming.
