2917 Poinsettia, Manhattan Beach CA 90266 | $4,350,000

Magic happens. You’ll be a believer upon your first glimpse of this charming, classic, landmark home. Built in a Tudor Revival style to evoke an English countryside house, this property connects at a deep, emotional level. It’s one of only a few produced in the South Bay by a noted architect who dedicated advanced efforts to keeping the home’s design and character true to form. It's a beauty like you might expect to find in prestigious neighborhoods like Hancock Park or the Hollywood Hills, but it's right here in our gorgeous beach town. Custom details include the use of distressed wood and natural stone, plaster walls, soaring ceilings, and the unique courtyard with stone pavers which the home wraps around. Mature gardens and ivy-covered walls accentuate the authentic feel of this very special house. Its next owner has an opportunity to build upon this wondrous framework to create something truly resonant, with roots in historical aesthetics, along with up-to-date styles and functionality. Even more exhilarating is the location of this particular work of art. This short block of Poinsettia in Manhattan Beach’s Tree Section is a micro-neighborhood renowned for a storybook feel, quite unlike any other block in the area. A mature tree canopy sets the tone, while the narrow street accentuates all of the beautiful, well-kept homes and gardens. Over the decades, the close-knit block has built a reputation for conviviality. People wait years to try to get into the area, and jump at the chance when an opportunity emerges. Now comes your chance. Come see this delightful home in person. Be warned, though: You might not want to leave.
