he Strand represents a high
point of Southern California coastal
living—a slender ribbon of premium
real estate along two miles of exqui-
site shoreline. Each parcel is a vaulted
slice of this plum California coastline with unin-
terrupted Pacific Ocean views, where inventory
is fixed and opportunities to acquire are scarce.
Within this premium micro-market, certain
homes—distinct by their extraordinary architec-
ture, position or size—transcend this exclusive
supply and qualify as a blue-moon rarity.
Such is the case with a double-lot offer-
ing on an ideal stretch of Manhattan Beach's
beachfront—1808 and 1812 The Strand. So
unusual is the pairing that real estate agent Ed
Kaminsky, with nearly four decades of expe-
rience in the area, can't recall a comparable
listing. "It's probably one of the only times you
can get 66 feet of ocean frontage," Kaminsky
says of the side-by-side properties. "It's so rare
that I don't know if this opportunity could ever
be repeated, especially in this prime location."
EXCEPTIONAL SLICE OF STRAND
The two properties can be purchased separately
or together; maintained as separate estates
or reimagined within the parameters of local
codes and permissions. Another unique point
of the sale is its price point: With a combined
asking price approaching $26 million, if sold
to one owner, the transaction would set local
records. "If you look at this as one sale, which
it may be, it will be the highest sale to happen
in Manhattan Beach," Kaminsky points out.
Situated a few minutes from Downtown,
whether by bike or stroll, the properties are
located along a neat wedge between prime
Pacific Ocean beachfront and the easy life-
style of Manhattan Beach. The expanse of sand
is broad and inviting for jogging and sunbath-
ing, yet boutiques and eateries are located less
than 10 minutes away on foot.
