Description
429 5th Street in Manhattan Beach's Sand Section offers luxurious walk-street living with timeless design inspired by French countryside estates. Custom-built by the original owners, this home stands apart with thoughtful details and space planning throughout. A charming Dutch door opens to a formal entry with a winding staircase and two-story ceilings. The dining area flows into a living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, library shelving, and French doors leading to a sunny, south-facing front patio. Overlooking the walk-street, the patio enjoys shade from mature trees. Natural light fills the casual living spaces, accentuated by another wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround and a built-in media center. The home is designed for an active lifestyle, with a hidden beach cubby for storage and a highly functional kitchen with custom built-ins, granite countertops, and a large pantry. Even the cabinetry includes pocket wine storage. All bedrooms are on the upper floors. The second-floor master suite overlooks the walk-street and includes a dressing room with built-in storage and a master bath featuring a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads. Three additional bedrooms, a full bath with dual sinks, and a cozy library are on the same floor. A third-floor guest suite offers a living room, full bathroom, bedroom, and a private deck, perfect for multi-generational living. Located on a quieter section of 5th Street, the home combines walk-street charm with less traffic. With a WalkScore of 86, it’s close to Robinson Elementary and just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Manhattan Beach’s shops, dining, and community activities.
