Reid Kaplan

This beautifully-updated home in the legendary Robinson school district boasts space, charm, views, and cutting edge technology all just a 15-minute stroll from the beach and downtown Manhattan Beach. Situated near the top of the desirable Hill Section, sparkling city views are yours from the vaulted living room with mood-setting fireplace and are even better from the adjacent balcony that spans the entire width of the home. The remodeled island kitchen the home s heart with stainless appliances, double oven, and farmhouse sink flows beautifully into the open-concept dining area, which itself opens to the large rear yard. With low-maintenance, drought-tolerant landscaping, a large dining patio, hot tub and jungle gym, 511 Dianthus Street s built-in playground is ideal for birthday parties, outdoor entertaining, or just getting away from it all with a glass of wine. The light-filled owner s bedroom with ensuite bathroom is a true enclave, but still offers quick access to two secondary bedrooms on the same level. And with central AC, an oversized water heater, pre-wiring for 2 electric cars, new wide plank European white oak flooring and new paint, this home checks every box on your list and even adds a few more.
