Realtrends recently compiled their list of the top realtors in the country and in the state for 2021 and Keith Kyle was proud to be recognized as one of the top 1.5% of realtors nationwide. We thank our wonderful clients for putting their trust in us and helping make this happen. Thank you to all of them.
location(nobody above) and unit number (higher the number closer to the ocean) means that this one has great harbor and ocean view compared with most units. Top floor condos sell for a premium with nobody above and a better view than even a level below. Another really nice feature of 3rd floor units is that the kitchen wall that was in the original build (people liked to separate living spaces back then) has been completely removed making for a much more open layout and loads more light.
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.
Beachfront homes on the Manhattan Beach Strand tend to sit on the market for a while. Most hit the market way overpriced and the reality is that there is a limited buyer pool for these rare homes that start in the multi millions. There were two beachfront homes that closed in May which was pretty impressive. Both were “more” affordable as they were either townhomes or condos. One of the two homes that sold was a beachfront townhome located at 4314 The Strand Manhattan Beach.
This is one of the last homes heading north in the El Porto area of Manhattan Beach. The multi level townhome was in very nice condition and was priced well for the size, location and condition. Homes often struggle to sell quickly this far north as the homes in this stretch sit behind the beach/surf parking lot so there’s a bit more activity out front than many would prefer. The home features 3 bedrooms on three levels and offers great and unblockable views from each.
4314 The Strand was listed for $5,275,000 and closed escrow at $5,175,000 and went pending after only 14 days on the market. Impressive!
While this one isn’t oceanfront, the condo complex known as The Village in South Redondo Beach has some great ocean and harbor views and just steps from the pier and world famous Redondo Beach.
One of the more recent closed escrows was in The Village in Redondo Beach and it was a fairly rare two bedroom oceanview condo that sold at
an impressive $1,147,000. The condo was nicely updated with a cool coastal look but the sales price was surprising given the first floor location made for a very limited view compared with most 2 bedroom units in the complex. As all of the 2 bedroom condos (6 per building) are end units and on the ocean side they have the best views of the floor. The first floor in most of the buildings (a few have two levels of parking below so they’re basically one level higher) often has limited views and this unit definitely had a limited view. One side benefit to the first floor, however, is that it’s the only floor that owners can have hardwood floors throughout and unit 117 took advantage.

Other than the very unique hotel condo ownership siuation at The Beach House Hermosa, beachfront condos are extremely rare in Hermosa
Beach.
There are only 3 real condo type buildings that are beachfront and this is one.
624 The Strand is big enough to be more than just a second home…..with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and almost 1,400 square feet there are a lot of options. It’s not bad living right at the beach! The complex was built in 1976 but as with most of the units this one has been extensively updated over the years. The condo was listed at $4,900,000 in 2021 but didn’t sell.

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.

Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, with offices throughout the South Bay, just reported surpassing one billion dollars in sales already for 2022. This is a record breaking timeframe. Congratulations to the very hard working agents of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty.
The newest home on the Manhattan Strand beachfront market is a condo located near the pier at 1208 The Strand in Manhattan Beach.
Although the building was constructed in 1969 it just recently underwent an almost complete remodel in 2019.
One of the other condos in the building, #B sold for 4,200,000 back in 2020.
The condo has very nice open layout with floor to ceiling doors to enjoy the incredible ocean and pier views. One challenge it does have is the location (if anything beachfront can be considered to have a challenging location!) is that it sits VERY close to downtown and the pier area so it tends to be a bit busy….especially in the summer.
The proximity to downtown allows the condo picture perfect Manhattan Beach pier views and heading a few doors down to dine or shop is simple. One other downside is that it does sit behind the downtown beach parking lot so it’s not quite a peaceful as the homes just north of the lot. Overall it’s a beatiful home,

We were honored to represent the buyers of this incredible propety and proud to announce our latest home sale the resort of Terranea on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
We had the opportunity and priveledge of representing wonderful buyers in the purchase of this incredible villa at the ocean front Terranea resort in Palos Verdes. This incredible property had just recently been remodeled with a luxury coastal feel worthy of the location.
Terranea ownership is unique in that the owner is restricted to 90 days a year of personal use and it is available for rental by the resort the rest of the year. This was part of the arrangement with the California Coastal Commission with the development of the old Marine World property in such an ideal location.
The resort is world class and the owners (and renters) have access to incredible facilities including fitness center, multiple pools, luxury spa and wellness center, and incredible dining ranging from oceanfront casual to formal affairs. Terranea also has a spectacular par 3 golf course on property.
Contact us for more information on how ownership at Terranea works.
