Just minutes to the beach! Welcome to this beautifully upgraded townhome in the highly sought-after Manitoba West community. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence features a redesigned chef's kitchen with custom soft-close cabinetry, premium granite countertops, GE Monogram appliances, and a fully ventilated professional-grade exhaust hood.

The expanded dining area easily accommodates formal gatherings, while the open kitchen layout overlooks the spacious living room and private patio perfect for entertaining. Bathrooms feature premium Kohler sinks, tub, toilets, and fixtures, and the guest bath has been enhanced with a space-saving pocket door. Flooring includes engineered distressed wood in the living areas, ceramic and travertine tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, and plush carpeting in the bedrooms. Additional upgrades include LED recessed lighting throughout, custom casings, baseboards, crown moldings, and surround sound in the living room with auxiliary speakers in the kitchen and garage. The finished garage offers direct access and includes a water filtration and softening system and tankless water heater. A bonus laundry room provides built-in storage and a utility sink. Over $70,000 in completed improvements through the LAX RSI Program includes new windows, front door, and HVAC system. HOA includes water, trash, grounds maintenance, and property/liability insurance.
