Oceanfront properties along The Strand in Manhattan Beach rarely trade as fully realized homes. More often, they change hands as lot-value opportunities acquired for location, not livability.
It is extraordinarily uncommon for a turnkey residence, fully reimagined and positioned on a premier corner lot, to become available along this stretch of coastline.
1920 The Strand is that rare exception.
A Premier Corner Lot on The Strand
Location on The Strand matters. Position on The Strand matters more.
1920 The Strand occupies a coveted corner configuration just moments from the boutiques and dining of Downtown Manhattan Beach. This orientation is not merely aesthetic, it materially enhances livability and long-term value.
Unlike interior Strand parcels, this corner lot benefits from:
-
A wider buildable footprint due to reduced walk-street setback
-
Increased frontage and interior volume
-
Enhanced natural light and cross-ventilation
-
Expanded north- and west-facing views
-
A side-yard patio with fire feature — a rare outdoor retreat on the oceanfront
From the upper levels, the residence captures sweeping coastline vistas in both directions, including a direct sightline to the iconic Manhattan Beach Pier.
For buyers researching Manhattan Beach oceanfront homes for sale, corner-lot Strand properties represent a distinct category within an already limited supply.
Property Specifications: 5,574 Square Feet | 5 Bedrooms | 6.5 Baths
Spanning 5,574 square feet, the home offers:
-
Five bedrooms
-
Six-and-a-half baths
-
A private office
-
A dedicated movie theater
-
A three-stop elevator servicing all levels
Following its 2020 sale, the residence underwent a transformative renovation exceeding $5 million, elevating it to a new standard of craftsmanship and finish. The result is a home that lives with the refinement of new construction, without the timeline or uncertainty of ground-up development along the Strand.
Parking and Hosting Advantage on the Strand
Parking along the Strand is often overlooked until it becomes a constraint.
1920 The Strand offers a true three-car garage with three vehicles positioned side-by-side (not tandem), along with an expanded apron accommodating two additional vehicles. In total, up to five cars may be parked off-street.
For those who entertain, host extended family, or value convenience, this is a meaningful distinction rarely found on interior Strand lots.
Designed for Oceanfront Living
The upper level unfolds as a dramatic open-concept living and entertaining space designed to maximize panoramic ocean views.
Living and dining areas open to dual decks, capturing coastline vistas to the north and south. The home was designed not simply to face the Pacific, but to engage with it through light, airflow, proportion, and orientation.
Walkability to Downtown Manhattan Beach adds another layer of livability, coffee in the morning, dinner in the evening, the beach at your doorstep.
