Why choose between Pasadena character and Manhattan Beach lifestyle when you can have both? Tucked among the trees in the coveted Tree Section, this one-of-a-kind 3-bedroom home inspires the timeless California architecture of Greene & Greene with a decidedly beachy plot twist. An iconic Brazilian Pepper Tree, believed to be one of the oldest in Manhattan Beach, creates a dramatic canopy over the stone steps leading to a Dutch door, ivy-covered chimney, copper rain chain, slate roof, and an entry that immediately tells you this is not your average beach house. Inside, rich hardwood floors, custom woodwork, artisan lighting, beamed ceilings, wainscoting, custom cabinetry, windows, doors, staircases and railings bring serious character to every corner. The main level offers two liv ing spaces, an elegant dining room, built-in breakfast nook, and a beautifully appointed kitchen with granite countertops, stone backsplash, oak cabinetry, farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances. Two bedrooms and a full hallway bath complete the first floor, while French doors and windows bring in that coveted indoor-outdoor California vibe. Upstairs, a cozy loft—ideal for an in-home office, reading nook or creative space—leads to a spacious primary suite with a seating area, walk-in closet, additional storage, balcony, and gorgeous ensuite bath featuring dual marble vanities, a walk-in shower with bench and soaking tub. The main residence includes two full baths. Then comes the plot twist. Out back, a custom stone fire pit sets the stage for evenings under the stars. The carriage house features a 2-car accordion-door garage, currently configured on the lower level as a yoga/Zen space with sauna, ¾ bath, side-by-side laundry and storage. Upstairs, a second loft is currently used as a sound studio/creative space—and yes, Grammy-winning artists have played a tune or two here. Guest space, office, podcast studio, creative retreat? The possibilities are wide open. With extraordinary craftsmanship, storybook details, flexible bonus spaces and an unbeatable Tree Section location, this is a home with more personality than most—and the beach just makes the whole thing better.
