Just Sold in Manhattan Beach 🌊✨
721 Marine Ave, Manhattan Beach
5 beds / 5.5 baths / 3,633 SF + 400 SF bonus
Sold for $5,650,000 | Seller represented by Molly Hobin Williams & Jillian Ostick Kreiner

So happy for our sellers on the sale of this truly special Cape Cod in the Tree Section — and equally thrilled for the buyers as they begin a new chapter in this incredible family home.

Built custom for its original owner, 721 Marine Ave. is the kind of home that rarely comes to market: two-story vaulted ceilings, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, a backyard built for serious entertaining with an outdoor kitchen, firepit, and covered lounge — plus a flexible au pair suite that adds real versatility for how families actually live. All just steps from the Greenbelt, Grandview Elementary, and a quick bike ride to the beach.

Congratulations all around — this one deserved a great family. 🥂

She helped us secure a comprehensive inspection, managed repair negotiations, and ensured follow-up until everything was resolved. After closing, Molly remained a fantastic resource, recommending reliable contractors and local professionals who have helped us improve the house. Molly is professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients’ success.” - Doug W.

From securing the deal to settling in, Molly’s dedication doesn’t stop at the closing table. 💙🧡

Just Sold in Redondo Beach 🏡✨
2407 Perkins Lane, Redondo Beach
4 beds / 5 baths / 2,500 sf
Sold for $1,800,000 | Buyer represented by

When a past client sends someone your way, you show up for them completely. This sweet family came to us from Charleston, ready to plant roots close to their two daughters already living in the South Bay. They needed four bedrooms, a yard for their two pups, and a neighborhood they could actually grow into. April got to work and found them a brand new construction townhouse in North Redondo that checked every single box. 🐾🌿

New construction, a real yard, and the whole South Bay right outside their door — they are absolutely over the moon, and honestly so are we! Welcome to your new home! 🥂

Thinking about making a move to the South Bay — or know someone who is? We’d love to help make it happen.
