More Insights
Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: This property, though built in 1977, has undergone extensive and recent renovations, qualifying it for an 'Excellent' score. The description explicitly states a 'brand-new kitchen featuring quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and new appliances,' which is clearly visible in the images with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a contemporary backsplash. All windows and sliding glass doors were installed in 2024, and a new water heater is noted for 2025 (likely a typo for 2024). The bathrooms are clean and updated with modern vanities and fixtures, though one features a classic black and white tile pattern that is impeccably maintained. The flooring (LVP in kitchen/laundry, new-looking carpet elsewhere), fresh paint, and modern light fixtures throughout contribute to a virtually new and move-in ready condition, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Hermosa View Elementary School (10/10).
Exceptional Coastal Location: Located just minutes from the beach and the vibrant shops and dining of Hermosa Beach, offering a highly desirable Redondo Beach coastal lifestyle.
Extensive Modern Renovations: Recently refreshed with a brand-new kitchen (quartz countertops, new cabinetry, new appliances), all new windows and sliding glass doors (2024), and a new water heater (assuming recent installation, despite the 2025 typo), ensuring a turnkey experience.
Desirable Interior & Outdoor Features: Boasts a light-filled, open layout with tall/vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, a formal dining area with a wet bar, a private patio for outdoor dining, and a primary suite with a private balcony.
Community Amenities & Convenience: Part of a low-HOA community offering access to a pool and spa, complemented by a direct-access private two-car garage with full-size laundry and ample storage.
End-Unit Privacy: As a private end-unit townhome, it offers enhanced privacy and fewer shared walls compared to interior units.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
Lack of Scenic Views: Despite its coastal proximity and mention of ocean breezes, the property explicitly states 'None' for views, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking ocean vistas.
Modest Square Footage: With 1165 sqft, the living space might be considered compact for some buyers, potentially limiting appeal for those requiring more expansive living areas or larger families.
Age of Original Construction: While significantly updated, the underlying structure dates back to 1977, which could imply potential for older, un-updated systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond the kitchen) that may require future maintenance or upgrades.
