It's not everyday that an opportunity arises to obtain a coveted address on one of the very best streets in the Tree Section of Manhattan Beach! This RARE street-to street lot sits on a charming street lined with towering eucalyptus trees and softly glowing gas lamps. Ideally situated just west of Laurel Avenue, its just a short walk to the park, the beach and all of the quaint North Manhattan shops and restaurants. This home's storybook charm suits 31st street's special character to a "T". Soaring two-story open beam ceilings welcome you upon entry to the formal living room which centers around a cozy stone fireplace. Step up to the formal dining room that welcomes natural light by way of a row of French doors. Opposite the dining room sits the 5th bedroom, which currently functions as a den/study with custom built-in desk areas. The dining room also opens direct to the bright and sunny custom kitchen, loaded with premium appliances featuring SubZero, Kitchen Aid and Viking brands. The kitchen functions around a large center island, offers a pantry, generous storage and counter space, and a great pass-through buffet counter which services the family room beyond. A cheerful, sun-drenched breakfast area features built-in bench seating and enjoys peaceful views of the backyard. Step down into the casual family room which offers built-in media shelving and a beautiful, modern floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The family room opens direct to the private yard. A split staircase leads to the upper level where a private bedroom suite with cottage charm branches off to the north and 3 additional bedrooms are found on the south end of the home. Two bedrooms share a jack & jill full bath with dual sinks. The south-facing sunlit primary suite enjoys a large private deck, dual reach-in closets, and an en suite fireplace. The bathroom retreat centers around a generously sized, separate soaking tub, while the over-sized walk-in shower enjoys an overhead rain shower head. A large walk-in closet is also discovered and it features custom closet organizers. From the hard-to-beat location to all the built-in character of this traditional Tree Section home, it's easy to picture filling scrapbooks with memories upon memories of Manhattan Beach living from this rare gas lamp address!
