I just listed a great property in Manhattan Beach. The home is situated in Liberty Village, which is known for it's traditional neighborhood charm, tree lined streets and proximity to Pollywog Park and those great summertime Concerts in the Park. This home in particular enjoys being close to Pollywog, but also close to the nearby soccer & softball fields which makes weekend sporting events for the kids a breeze. Also nearby is AdventurePlex--it's like a YMCA type facility which offers health & wellness classes for all ages, a gym, yoga room, rock wall, ropes course and what the kids truly enjoy--the indoor jungle gym with it's high-in-the-sky slides & swings. Being indoors, the A/C is a great place to retreat to on the few days it does get warm in the summer. They also have a great cafe that serves healty snacks and it's a popular place for birthday parties as well as summer camp.

This home is over 2,000 sf, all single level, and enjoys views of the park across the street. It has a great double door entry area. An oversized family/bonus room conveniently keeps the everyday living clutter closed off from the rest of the house. On the other end of the house, a formal sitting area focuses on gas/wood burning fireplace which has a great space above mantle to mount a flat screen TV. There is a large dining area off the kitchen & living room. An upgraded kitchen features a granite topped serving area, built in 6 burner gas range, a double oven, lots of cabinet space & a large double pantry area. The dining/living room opens to a very private, quiet & serene garden setting in a low maintenance backyard. There is a HUGE master with his & hers closet areas & separate vanity areas. The house features upgraded copper plumbing & electrical service, recessed lighting, & updated flooring. The oversized garage has hobby/work area & full attic. Much larger than the traditional area bungalow & yet also single level living and on a corner lot. You get a lot of home for the money in this one. Check it out: http://www.mrmlsmatrix.com/DE.asp?ID=3446799764

Manhattan Beach is well known for it's award winning public schools and the elementary, middle and high school are all nearby. Trader Joes is around the corner, Costco just down the road as well as other great staple stores like Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. The Manhattan Village Mall with it's Apple store, Macy's, Gap, and other boutique shops, is right up the road. A movie theatre, Ralph's, Coffee Bean, and just about every major banking chain is also in the Village. And the beach is just 5-8 minutes away. LAX is only 15 minutes away. It's a great central location.

Come by the Open Houses this week if you can: Friday 10/31 from 12-2 or Sunday 11/2 from 1-4 pm.
