Description

229 7th Street represents a rare South Manhattan Beach walkstreet opportunity west of Highland, offering exceptional location quality and meaningful long-term value. Situated on the second home west of Highland on a south-facing 30' x 90' lot, this is an A+ walkstreet location with ocean views and strong underlying fundamentals.
The property currently consists of a 2,436-square-foot main residence featuring three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, all in largely original condition. In addition, there is a substantial two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath secondary unit positioned above an oversized garage that can comfortably accommodate two large SUVs, with additional off-street parking for two exterior spaces and a third space behind the garage--a notable rarity in this submarket.
The lot's south-facing orientation is highly preferred, providing excellent light and livability, along with ocean views to both the southwest and northwest. While the existing improvements are functional, the primary value of the property lies in the land and location, making it especially compelling for an owner-user seeking to create a long-term residence that fully capitalizes on the walkstreet lifestyle.
7th Street is widely regarded as one of the most desirable walkstreets in South Manhattan Beach, striking a rare balance between immediate proximity to downtown amenities and a calm, residential environment. The property is approximately two minutes from restaurants and shops, yet buffered by multiple blocks, preserving privacy and neighborhood character.
The location is highly walkable and offers convenient access to award-winning Robinson Elementary School, further reinforcing its long-term desirability.
In summary, 229 7th Street is best characterized as a premium walkstreet lot-value property in an irreplaceable South Manhattan Beach location, with orientation, views, parking, and lifestyle attributes that are increasingly difficult to replicate.
