511 Pacific Ave. Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

This house has been through so much, multiple listing agents, bankruptcy, law suits, economic down turns and yet it has made it through it all and has sold to some one, finally!  It has been a fall from grace so to speak, at one time it was in escrow at $7,800,000 prior to be being completed to now selling on 6.29.10 for $5,250,000.  This was a beautiful 3 level, 8,000 sft. home that was not your typical hill section home.  I feel this buyer got a good deal, the views are unblock-able, its close to town, close to the beach and full of great features that give this house a great feeling when you are in it.

617 6th st. Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Here is another troubled property that was a house that was not completed due to the economic down turn , then the bank tried to foreclose and the builder went bankrupt, the private party 2nd TD took over the property, worked out a deal with the first TD loan and finished the project and turned around and sold it!  It is nice to see some of these properties getting some life back into them with new owners, real owners that will live there and take care of them and enjoy them.  This house was very nice as well, a comparable location to the 511 Pacific,  a smaller house with similar features just smaller.  This house is approximately 5,700 sft and sold for $4,500,000.

Before I was able to write my post about 1413 Pine it is already sold!

After 4 days on the market, this 4 bedroom home listed by Brent Griebenow at south bay brokers is already in escrow.  I would not be surprised if it got multiple offers.  It was listed before a year and half ago at $1,649,000 but never sold.  They came out at a new and improved price and it sold quickly.

It was well priced at $1,389,000, it was in good condition, it has a nice yard and in a decent location.

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.

Active listings:

1812 Lynngrove Manhattan Beach, CA listed by shorewood realtors Steve Heavrin $849,000
3 bedroom 2 baths with a living room and dining area, also over the detached garage is studio apartment.  Its a great property with lots of options.  It needs a little bit of work, but has a great yard on a corner lot in Liberty Village.

1904 Manzanita lane, Manhattan Beach, CA listed by Shorewood Realtors Karynne Thim $949,000
This house is a perfect example of what the house at 1812 Lynnegrove could be like.  This house is nicely upgraded with 3 bedrooms 2 baths with a living room and family room and a really nice back yard.

 
1181 Tennyson Manhattan Beach, CA listed by Shorewood Realtors Stan Liosis and Daryl Rosen $999,000
This house is on the list because it just dropped its price and for under $1 million this house is good size (2,337 sft.) and in great condition with updated baths and kitchen, family room, living room and a nice back yard.  The location is not great but it is good at this price and for this size of property.

 1631 Stanford Redondo Beach, CA     listed by Kathleen Cartier Shorewood Realtors
Listed at $499,000…currently has 31 offers on it!!!! thats right 31 offers!

We had a buyer write an offer for significantly over the asking price and my buyers are not going to get it.  There are at least 4 or 5 offers better than ours.   Not sure what it is going to be sold at but it will be significantly over the asking price!

The house was in a great location, on an over sized lot for the neighborhood, but a pretty small house.  The listing agent intentionally priced it this low to get significant activity and she got what she asked for!  I personally feel that she could have price this house $50,000 higher and still got many offers with the same ending price.

DESCRIPTION OF HOUSE:
Located on an over sized lot (approx. 3,750sqft), this charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath single family home is an incredible ‘Golden Hills’ opportunity for your first time buyer. Originally a 3 bedroom home, seller states it was remodeled and converted to a 2 bedroom in 2001, creating an open, great room floor plan, perfect for today’s contemporary lifestyle requirements. Both kitchen and bath were professionally designed. The spacious kitchen has stainless steel appliances, custom tile work, and loads of counter space. The full bath has custom tile work and designer fixtures. Large master bedroom has french doors that open to a lovely, west facing, private backyard with grass and wood deck areas. Central forced air heating & A/C, hardwood floors, custom closet built-ins, and more!! Terrific family neighborhood close to beach, shopping, and restaurants. Definitely not a drive-by – must see to appreciate!! Don’t miss out – this one will not last!!!!!!!!

This weeks deal is in North Redondo, it is a detached town home (1 of 2 units) at 1407 harkness Redondo beach, CA 90278
Listed by Tim Kelley, South bay Real Estate Group.

It is price to sell at 599,000!!! 3 bedroom 2.5 baths 1,568 sft. All bedrooms are upstairs and all the living room and kitchen is downstairs which opens up nicely to the back yard.  It also has had its garage converted into another large bedroom and full bath ( I assume its not permitted) but there is still 4 car parking even without the garage.

This will be gone next week with multiple offers.

2401 John st. Manhattan Beach is one of the last of the New construction home to come to market.  This is a brand new listing and a brand new house is a very good location.  After this house and about 3 or 4 others coming out of the ground there will be no more new construction homes in the trees for a couple years, at least as for as spec homes are concerned.

2401 John st Listed by South Bay Brokers Judy D’angelo
$2,499,000

This is a standard size Tree section house, nicely finished by Ken Johnson Development.
The house is 5 bedrooms 4.5 Baths and about 3,500 sft. it sits on a lot that is 5,080 with the Back yard facing west so you have the sun in the back in the afternoon which is nice.

The price does seem a little high for what it is.  The tree section has been hit the hardest as of this year because of a lot of new construction houses that could not sell and ended up going back to the bank or short selling.  This builder seems to be perfectly stable financially but he may be holding on to the this one for a little while based on comps.
