Perched along one of Hermosa Beach's most desirable ocean-view corridors, 2434 Manhattan Avenue presents a striking expression of contemporary coastal architecture, thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light, indoor-outdoor living, and sweeping views of the Pacific. Ideally positioned in Hermosa Beach's coveted North End, the home sits at the epicenter of the community, moments from the iconic "Kings" North End bar, Martha's, and Boccato's market. Recognized as one of only two LEED-certified residences in all of Hermosa Beach, the home pairs its timeless architectural vision with an exceptional commitment to sustainability and environmental performance.
Entering from the street, the home welcomes you with an expansive outdoor living space anchored by a large front patio. Beyond the dramatic glass pivot door, a blend of natural concrete materials and architectural glass accents creates an environment that feels both contemporary and inviting. At the front of the home, the family room is framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that fully retract, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Also on this level, custom bookshelves create an ideal setting for a home office, library, or reading lounge, all bathed in natural light. An additional bedroom with ample closet space and a full bathroom are conveniently located on this floor, along with a dedicated fitness studio featuring exposed concrete walls that further emphasize the home's architectural character.
The second level serves as the home's private living quarters, offering three generously sized bedrooms, including the primary suite. Framed by oversized windows, the suite offers exceptional scale and features walls of custom closets, a statement fireplace, space for a sitting area, and a luxurious ensuite bath complete with dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a private water closet. An additional bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms and features a glass shower and abundant natural light. Connecting the spaces, the second-floor hallway showcases glass-paneled flooring with dramatic cutouts below, creating a sculptural architectural feature that adds both visual interest and dimension throughout the home. The attached two-car garage + carport space for a third car is also accessible directly from this level.
Ascending to the third level, the heart of the home unfolds through an open-concept living experience where the kitchen, dining area, living room, and outdoor terrace merge seamlessly to create the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Anchoring the main living area, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling metallic fireplace serves as architectural focal point and further exemplifies the home's commitment to bespoke design. Blurring the lines between indoors and out, a wall of front-facing accordion glass doors opens completely to a large terrace featuring multiple lounge and dining areas, a built-in barbecue station, and bar seating creating an exceptional environment for entertaining. Flowing effortlessly from the living room, the dining area comfortably accommodates gatherings of ten or more guests and sits adjacent to the open-concept kitchen for both everyday living and large-scale hosting. Centered around a waterfall-edged island with custom built-in storage, the kitchen is a true culinary showpiece, featuring meticulously engineered, fully custom Arclinea Italian cabinetry and an exceptional suite of premium Miele built-in appliances, including three ovens, a food warmer drawer, a coffee maker, a convection microwave, a steamer, an oversized fridge and freezer, a wine fridge, and a dishwasher. An expansive pantry further enhances functionality, offering abundant storage to support both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. A contemporary powder room is also located on this level for added convenience.
Ascending to the rooftop, a generous terrace captures sweeping 180-degree ocean views, creating an extraordinary setting to relax, entertain, dine al fresco, or simply enjoy the coastal surroundings from one of the home's most impressive vantage points.
Thoughtfully designed with an unwavering commitment to architecture, functionality, and indoor-outdoor living, 2434 Manhattan Avenue offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive coastal residence. From its contemporary design and large-scale entertaining spaces to its sweeping ocean views and coveted North End location moments from Hermosa Beach's best restaurants, markets, and the sand — this is a home that delivers an exceptional lifestyle at every turn.
