About 168 Ardmore Avenue
This might be the South Hermosa townhome that has you doing a double take. West of PCH, just five minutes from the sand, with ocean views, a rooftop deck, and over 2,000 square feet? Yes, it’s real. And yes, it’s that good. Fresh paint and new luxury vinyl flooring set the tone the moment you step inside—crisp, coastal, and completely move-in ready. The living room brings the drama (the good kind) with soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, a cozy fireplace, and French doors that open to a generous balcony. Morning coffee with partial ocean views. Golden-hour sunsets with a glass of something celebratory. Your daily routine just got an upgrade. The kitchen? Equal parts functional and fabulous. Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, an expansive island with breakfast bar, and a dining area that keeps everyone connected. Whether it’s a casual Tuesday dinner or a lively weekend gathering, this space was designed to handle it beautifully. And then there’s the rooftop deck. Panoramic neighborhood and ocean views that remind you exactly why you live here. Sunsets feel a little more cinematic. Even takeout tastes better with that backdrop. All three bedrooms are thoughtfully placed on the same level—because convenience never goes out of style. The primary suite turns up the comfort with its own fireplace, dual closets, and a spacious ensuite featuring double vanities, a jetted tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full hallway bath complete the floor, offering flexibility for guests, family, or the ultimate home office setup. Downstairs, an oversized laundry room, extra half bath, abundant storage, large-capacity water heater, and a two-car attached garage make everyday living refreshingly easy. Located close to The Strand, the greenbelt, parks, shops, dining, and award-winning schools (Hermosa residents can also choose either Redondo or Mira Costa High School), this is beach living without compromise. Homes like this don’t just check boxes—they raise standards. If you’ve been waiting for the right South Hermosa opportunity, this is your sign.
