We’ve seen some impressive movement with beachfront Strand houses selling after extended (sometimes years) periods on the market. Some of the “tear down” type properties have still struggled as sellers often see value in the home when really the value is ONLY in the land. The latest addition to the beachfront home market on The Strand in Manhattan
Beach is a vintage original beach bungalow built in 1938. It’s very likely that this one get’s torn down and replaced with a modern luxury home but we’re always suckers for these original and classic beach homes. The current property offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1984 square feet and is priced at $6,499,000.
The home is pretty far into El Porto (rebranded as “north Manhattan”) which means values go down considerably compared with beachfront lots closer to downtown and the pier. The location also means that it’s located behind the beach parking lot and overlooks the lot (although significantly raised up)
