1914 Gates #A

Thoughtfully arranged across three levels, this fully detached, Spanish-style, ‘2-on-a-lot’ home takes full advantage of its elevated setting, with bright, open living spaces, south-facing views and multiple outdoor areas, including a wraparound balcony and rooftop deck.

Built in 2008, the home features a light-filled reverse floor plan. On the lower/garage level, there are two bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom, as well as a laundry room. Two additional bedrooms are located on the entry level, including an impressively spacious primary suite with engineered hardwood floors, wood shutters and two walk-in closets. The en-suite primary bath features a soaking tub, travertine shower with frameless glass enclosure, dual-sink vanity with new light fixtures and a private water closet. The other bedroom on this level features two wardrobe closets and its own en-suite ¾ bath.

Upstairs is where the reverse floor plan really shines. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create an airy, dramatic backdrop for the open-concept living and dining spaces, while natural light and city views make this level especially inviting. French doors from the living room and French sliders from the dining area open to a west-facing wraparound balcony, recently resurfaced and perfectly positioned for enjoying the afternoon sun and evening skies. At the heart of the upper level is a large kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances and an oversized island with bar-height ledge. A conveniently located guest bath completes the upper living level. Additional highlights include a rooftop deck with unobstructed views, central A/C, high ceilings, brand new exterior paint and light fixtures, and a direct-access, 2-car garage with epoxy flooring.

Located just east of Aviation Blvd., this home puts you a hop, skip and a jump from Manhattan Beach while offering easy access to the 405 freeway. Tommy & Atticus bakery is also right down the street, an especially dangerous perk. Don’t wait long to act on this rare gem!
