Valhalla is a famous, hidden gem sitting in plain sight, offering a double of 60' of frontage, and an unparalleled beachfront living with unique features like an outdoor pool and yard. Its strategic KAA design sits on 2 city lots and is the one and only that compares to the only 4 double lot-single family homes that exist in Manhattan Beach, with probable valuations currently sitting at approximately $40MM to $60MM making this a once in a lifetime opportunity. Valhalla's proximity to the ocean and its privacy is unmatched, because it is closer to the beach than other Strand homes, and it doesn't have homes stacked directly behind it blocking the sunrise. Also, the bike path is behind the residence to ease one's mind from fast moving e-bikes for you to go to the beach. The evening ambiance is yours to set, since there are no Strand lights in its path. And, there are numerous expansion options for potential owners with different preferences. The comparisons and recent sales suggest it is indeed the most valuable opportunity one can possibly find. The convenience of an easy walk (excellent walkability score) to the downtown Manhattan Beach Pier and its restaurants adds to its allure. Experience the joy of seeing the sunrise and the sunset as well as everything else that Valhalla has to offer. Your opportunity awaits. The only downside is that there isn't two of these.
