1812 The Strand

Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Art, architecture, and opportunity converge on one of the most sought-after stretches of The Strand. Built in 2006, this bold 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath, ~3,500 sq ft residence offers a rare glimpse into a design philosophy few would dare attempt today — a nod to Brutalist architecture, where form follows emotion, and every detail is built to last. Originally commissioned by a couple with a world-class art collection, the home was thoughtfully designed as a private gallery space — with soaring volumes, concrete construction (rumored to be engineered to withstand hurricanes and tsunamis), and a powerful, minimalist aesthetic that’s as rare as the location itself. While the art has moved on, the canvas remains, offering endless possibilities: reimagine, refresh, or start anew. And here's where it gets even more exciting: the property directly to the south is also available, creating the exceedingly rare potential for a side-by-side acquisition. Buyers are encouraged to verify with the City of Manhattan Beach for future plans — but if approved, this could become one of the most extraordinary double-lot opportunities ever to come to market on The Strand. Location is everything — and this address delivers: perched on an elevated section above the bike path, with sweeping views from Malibu to the Manhattan Beach Pier, and just a few short blocks to the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach’s celebrated dining, shopping, and beach lifestyle. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast drawn to its artistic soul, or a visionary ready to create a new Strand legacy, this is a once-in-a-generation offering that demands attention.
