Art, architecture, and opportunity converge on one of the most sought after stretches of The Strand. Built in 2006, this bold 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, ~3,500 sq ft residence offers a rare glimpse into a design philosophy few would dare attempt today a nod to Brutalist architecture, where form follows emotion, and every detail is built to last. Originally commissioned by a couple with a world class art collection, the home was thoughtfully designed as a private gallery space with soaring volumes, concrete construction (rumored to be engineered to withstand hurricanes and tsunamis), and a powerful, minimalist aesthetic thats as rare as the location itself. While the art has moved on, the canvas remains, offering endless possibilities: reimagine, refresh, or start anew. And here's where it gets even more exciting: the property directly to the south is also available, creating the exceedingly rare potential for a side by side acquisition. Buyers are encouraged to verify with the City of Manhattan Beach for future plans but if approved, this could become one of the most extraordinary double lot opportunities ever to come to market on The Strand. Location is everything and this address delivers: perched on an elevated section above the bike path, with sweeping views from Malibu to the Manhattan Beach Pier, and just a few short blocks to the heart of downtown Manhattan Beachs celebrated dining, shopping, and beach lifestyle. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast drawn to its artistic soul, or a visionary ready to create a new Strand legacy, this is a once in a generation offering that demands attention.
