3601 Bayview Drive
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

In my 35 years of selling real estate, these top floor vistas are the best views I have ever seen, off the Strand. Standing or sitting one feels like they are situated on an elevated platform on the front of a cruise ship. If you ever wanted superb unblockable ocean views, you need to come see 3601 Bayview Dr, a 3 bedroom/3.5 Bath custom home situated high on the NW corner of 36th and Bayview with it’s ideal sunny, southern exposure. Over $1.4m (2017) was invested to completely redesign, restyle & transform this home into an Oasis by the sea. The attention to detail & quality is evident throughout this home. The top floor kitchen is custom designed, including a stone center island with L shaped wraparound counters & equipped with top of the line custom cabinetry, SS Thermador professional appliances, a five burner stove top range, double oven with warming drawer, dishwasher and impressive floor to ceiling refrigerator/freezer. The lucky new owners can prepare grand feasts while enjoying gorgeous ocean, PV & Catalina views through peaceful Queen palms dancing to the ocean breezes. The kitchen opens to the wood beamed dining area, a spacious living room with a centered gas fireplace, clad in natural stone. Whether sitting at the kitchen island, the dining room table, living room couch or the custom swivel chairs, one can enjoy endless ocean views through two sets of floor to ceiling stainless steel & glass pocket doors and a sliding system. The SW and NW corners & straight on ocean views are enhanced by a glass railed stone wrap around deck. This top floor is a magical place to sun, read, entertain or just gaze endlessly into the open water beyond. The second floor features an amazing owners bedroom with a large ocean view, south facing deck and walk-in closets. The modern luxurious resort bathroom includes wall to wall herringbone stone flooring, wall to ceiling white stone tile that emulates the movement of water, a free standing soaking tub and an open, drenching waterfall shower. Just across the landing to the rear of the home are two spacious bedrooms and a well appointed Jack and Jill bathroom with gorgeous stone counters and high end fixtures. The entry level offers an open office/flex space, access to the side by side three car garage, and a stairwell down to the large vaulted beach room which features industrial grade engineered wood flooring, a full bathroom, laundry room and a wall of custom cabinetry including a fold-out Murphy bed.
