Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1921, this property is marketed as a 'value-add' opportunity requiring renovation and rehabilitation. The exterior shows visible signs of deferred maintenance, including peeling paint on the perimeter fence and weathered wooden stairs. The listing description emphasizes the upside potential for investors to renovate, suggesting that the interior finishes and major systems are likely outdated or in need of significant repair to meet modern standards.
Elementary School: Hermosa View Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
Situated in the heart of the Hermosa Beach Sand Section, the property offers exceptional walkability to the Strand, Hermosa Pier, and local dining.
The duplex configuration provides multiple options for owner-users, long-term investors, or potential short-term rental income in a high-demand coastal zone.
Originally built in 1921, the property likely requires substantial capital investment for repairs and system upgrades to meet modern living standards.
The limited 1,895 square foot lot and modest interior square footage may restrict expansion possibilities and outdoor living space.
Amazing opportunity in the heart of Hermosa Beach, just moments to the Strand and Hermosa Pier! 1636 Hermosa Ave features a 2-bedroom/1-bath unit and a 1-bedroom/1-bath unit, offering flexibility for investors, owner-users, or those looking for a coastal getaway. Tucked into one of the most walkable pockets of the Sand Section, the property delivers immediate access to the beach, restaurants, and everything that defines Hermosa living. With significant upside potential, this is an ideal value-add play for an investor looking to renovate and hold, or for a buyer seeking a summer home with income potential. The layout and location also present a compelling opportunity for Airbnb or VRBO, especially in light of recent legal developments impacting short-term rental regulations in the Coastal Zone (buyer to verify). Rare to find this combination of location, flexibility, and upside this close to the sand.
