Introducing a beautifully revamped coastal retreat in Playa Del Rey’s coveted northwest bluff, offering charm, views, and future potential with an unbeatable location. Located west of Pershing Drive, just a short walk to the sandy beach and scenic bike paths, 408 W Manchester Ave offers the perfect blend of livability and long-term upside. A rare find in this price range west of the 405. Enjoy panoramic views stretching from Century City to the boat-filled waters of Marina del Rey, all visible from the front porch, living room, and backyard deck. Perched above street level, this home captures the ocean breeze and golden-hour sunsets that define life in one of LA’s most coveted beachside communities. Set on a generous 6,000 sq ft lot, this beachside retreat offers incredible flexibility and future upside. The expansive backyard invites endless possibilities: design a show-stopping entertainer’s yard or expand the home to fit your lifestyle. Whether you’re envisioning a 3-bed/2-bath layout, a full 4/2 expansion, or an ADU addition under SB9 (plans previously submitted), this property is a canvas for your vision. The garage includes a bonus space that could be transformed into a wine cellar, home office, guest suite, or creative studio. Recent upgrades include fresh interior and exterior paint, a refreshed front porch, and a refinished backyard deck. Drought-tolerant landscaping enhances the show-stopping curb appeal, complemented by brand-new privacy fencing and Ring cameras installed in both the front and back. Inside, the home features central air and heat, real hardwood floors, and a bright, airy layout. Conveniently located near Loyola Marymount University, Whole Foods, LAX, and Playa Del Rey’s best local shops and dining. Easy access to Culver City, Century City, and Santa Monica makes this location ideal for both work and play. A coastal single-family home west of the 405 under $1.4M is nearly impossible to find. Don’t miss this opportunity. This is one of the lowest-priced SFRs on the Westside, and it won’t last. This move-in ready home isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to grow, create, and build. Whether you’re a first-time buyer walking into instant equity, a savvy investor seeking long-term upside, or a developer eyeing a high-potential project, this opportunity checks every box.
