My deals of the week are as follows:

455 35th st. Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
listed by the Park Group with Shorewood Realtors MLS#S09112480 $1,599,000

This is a nice Cape Cod style house in the north section of Manhattan Sand.  It is over 3,000 sft. with 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms and a roof top deck.
POSITIVES:  the size is good, having 4 bedrooms is good, condition is good not great.  It does have a nice master suite and an updated kitchen with nice appliances.
NEGATIVES:  the bedrooms are split 2 up and 2 down, it is pretty far North (close to Rosecrans) although it doesn’t bother me, the street is very nice. It does not show as well as it could.
Overall its current price is not bad but it could be lower, but I think they are close, it has a lot to offer for being in the sand section of Manhattan beach.  Its definitely one to consider.

332 30th st. in Hermosa Beach, CA

Listed by South Bay Brokers Chad Falbusch MLS #S09120660 $1,299,000

This is a flat walk street location in North Hermosa.  This is primarily land value but it is a very livable house for a couple or a small family.  This is a great buy for some one who wants to build a nice house and live in this great location for a long time.  I believe the owner has plans for a new house that may be negotiated into the deal.

It’s listed as a 3 bedroom 1 bath house with a 2 car garage, street to alley lot.  The zoning on this side of the street allows for a 3 story house (30ft high), on the opposite size of the street their height limits are lower as well as having smaller lots.  This makes the south side of the street more desirable from a land value point of view.
