222 24th Street presents a rare generational opportunity on one of Manhattan Beach's most coveted walk streets. What truly distinguishes this property is its exceptional positioning and view potential. Situated near one of the highest elevations of the 200 block, the lot benefits from favorable topography that enhances its outlook and creates a view opportunity rarely found among Manhattan Beach walk street properties. The natural downslope of the surrounding terrain may open sightlines to the south, while the neighboring double-lot residence to the west preserves a uniquely valuable west-facing view corridor. For those considering redevelopment, a future residence may have the opportunity to capture extraordinary ocean and whitewater views directly over the rooftop of the westerly adjacent neighbor - an extremely uncommon advantage for a Manhattan Beach walk street home (subject to buyer investigation, design, and City approvals). Held by the same family for decades, this approximately 3,100-square-foot duplex offers a unique blend of immediate income potential, flexible living, and exceptional ocean view redevelopment possibilities. The existing property features two spacious residences with a combined six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The front residence was originally constructed in the late 1960s, while significant remodels were completed in 1983 - including the addition of the third floor to the rear residence - and again in 2001 for the front residence. The homes are highlighted by vaulted ceilings, multiple outdoor decks, and the quintessential walk street lifestyle that makes this neighborhood of the Sand Section so highly sought after. Ideally located between Downtown Manhattan Beach and North Manhattan Beach, just moments from the beach, The Strand, volleyball courts, the surf, and award-winning Grand View Elementary School, 222 24th Street embodies the very best of South Bay coastal living. Whether preserved as a legacy family asset, maintained as an income-producing investment, or transformed into a custom dream home, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most compelling view-oriented walk street properties to come to market in Manhattan Beach in years.
