3404 The Strand – Manhattan Beach Oceanfront Home Hits the Market
3404 just hit the market for a second time in the past few months. It looks like a new listing it’s actually a relist with new realtors and a new price. This is a unique beachfront duplex that hit the market at $14,995,000 about 45 days ago and it’s now relisted at a new price of $14,250,000. There is an abundance of beachfront Strand listings currently available but 3404 The Strand is a bit different and certainly unique. This is a Manhattan Beach sand section duplex that isn’t the usual primary home with a small unit over the garage. 3404 The Strand offers two sizable homes and both have incredible views. The 3 level front home sits just off of the sand and offers unblockable ocean and beach views and is a bit larger than the rear home. The rear home is what really makes this property unique as it is considerably taller than the current height limits would allow but grandfathered in allowing it two levels each with magnificent ocean views.

Rare Oceanfront Opportunity in the Hollywood Riviera
417 Paseo De La Playa, Redondo Beach, CA 90277
**Update**Please note that this is an older post and this home sold in 2023 for $17,500,000 and is no longer on the market.
We’ve talked a lot about this property in the past as it was actually the all time sales record when it sold a few years back at $22,650,000 in early 2018.
Given the location on the oceanfront bluff top street of Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera, this is an impossible to replicate property…. incredible combination of oceanfront location, huge 1.4 acre (we don’t generally talk in acres in the South Bay) lot that extends to the sand below and two homes making it a true showcase estate. There’s nothing else like it on the South Bay.
The property actually consists of 2 distinct homes….the main home with 5

bedrooms and 8 total baths, and the “guest” home with 5 bedrooms and 7 total baths. Both homes are high on the bluff with unbeatable and unblockable ocean, PV and coastline views. The properties have stairs down to the beach below which is also a challenge to duplicate due to very restrictive California Coastal Commision restrictions.
The property was actually on the market back in 2020 and 2021 first at $27.0M and then at $23M but never sold. They also tried to sell the properties separately.

Oceanfront Estate On the Market (once again) in the Hollywood Riviera of Redondo
**Please note that this is an older post from 2022 so the information below is no longer current but 433 Paseo De La Playa is once again for sale as of 1/20/25 listed at $22,500,000. Click here to see the updated information.
We’ve seen this home in the Hollywood Riviera of Redondo Beach on and off the market for years now but the oceanfront estate at 433 Paseo De La Playa has returned with a new
price. Originally listed in 2014 for $16,000,000 it’s been on and off ever since and now back at a much more attractive price.
The home is definitely custom which has certainly not helped appeal to a larger market as it’s very ornate and formal despite the luxury coastal location. This one is all about the possibilities as it’s a massive with almost 7,800 foot home with approved plans to add another 2,000+ square feet. This ornate estate sits on a huge 26,580 foot lot that extends down the hillside to the beach below. In our opinion this is one of the best locations in all of the South Bay as it combines stunning views, direct beach access and privacy you just don’t find in most other beachfront locations in Southern California. Due to all of this it’s very hard to replicate what this has to offer.
Due to the lot size this is a true estate type home with a gated entry, sports court, oceanfront pool, grand staircase, 4 car garage. For those looking for a legacy type property this checks a lot of boxes and would be very hard to duplicate. As mentioned the home has been on and off the market for a very long time. It hit the market in 2014 (had sold in 2012) at a then over the top $16M. It was listed and relisted several times from 2014-2018 at similar price points. The home was relisted once agai at $14.9M in 2018 and then eventually at $14.5M and pulled off of the market at the beginning of this year.
