More Insights

Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: Despite the 1951 build year, the property underwent an extensive 'down to the studs' renovation in 2018, making it virtually new. The kitchen features modern flat-panel cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances (double oven, cooktop, range hood), contemporary light countertops, and stylish subway tile backsplash. The bathroom is equally modern with a sleek vanity, wall-mounted black fixtures, and matching subway tiling. Throughout the home, there are light hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a fresh, contemporary aesthetic, indicating all components are new or virtually new and meet current quality standards.

About this home

A rare opportunity in Hermosa Beach: a home with both a yard and expansive ocean views on one of the most desirable streets in the city. Nestled high in the North Hermosa Hills, this stunning residence captures breathtaking ocean vistas from the living areas and throughout much of the home. Indoor/outdoor living unfolds beautifully with accordion doors that open from the great room to a spacious deck—an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee, evening wine, and unforgettable sunsets over the Pacific. Taken down to the studs in 2018, the home features clean lines, elevated finishes, and a thoughtful design that feels both modern and warm. The backyard provides generous usable space for play, entertaining, BBQs, and more. A 2-car garage and lush, beautifully maintained landscaping in both the front and rear yards further enhance the home’s appeal. Situated in a prime North Hermosa Beach location, you’re close to top-rated schools, parks, shops, and restaurants. Whether you choose to enjoy the home as it is or explore the potential to build up in the future, the flexibility is there. The lower level also offers excellent space for storage, a home office, or a gym. A truly special place to call home—opportunities like this don’t last.
