About this home

Set on an oversized lot in one of North Hermosa Beach’s most coveted coastal locations, this extraordinary residence offers panoramic ocean views made possible by a rare, grandfathered height advantage that exceeds current building limitations. Sweeping vistas span the Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo Beach piers and are enjoyed from multiple levels, creating a constant visual connection to the Pacific. Taken down to the studs and reconstructed by Icaza Construction, the home blends modern building standards with timeless, European-inspired design. Wide-plank 12-inch European white oak floors, fluted solid oak custom doors, and vintage brass iron detailing introduce warmth and character throughout. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, where ocean views frame an oversized island designed for gathering and entertaining. High-end Thermador appliances, dual dishwashers, iron-accented cabinetry, a sculptural stucco hood, and thoughtfully selected countertops create a space that is both refined and functional. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living area, anchored by a striking fireplace, and flows naturally into a formal dining space framed by reclaimed wood, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate family room and bar area on the main level further enhances the home’s livability. The bar features custom white oak cabinetry, marble countertops, two beverage refrigerators, antique smoked mirrors, a copper sink, ample storage, and custom built-ins with dual televisions, perfect for relaxed evenings or hosting guests. With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, the layout offers exceptional flexibility. Four bedrooms are located on the lower level, along with an additional room ideal for a private office. The panoramic ocean-view primary suite occupies the top level and serves as a true retreat, complete with a spa-like marble bathroom featuring a dramatic walk-in shower and breathtaking views. Multiple outdoor spaces including a 700-square-foot rooftop deck with jacuzzi, front courtyard, and private patios extend the living experience outdoors. Additional highlights include a copper outdoor shower, epoxy-finished garage, metal roof, underground utilities, and extensive AV and security systems. Backed by a 10-year builder warranty, this is a rare opportunity to own a coastal residence that balances architectural detail, elevated design, and panoramic views just steps from the beach, the Strand, and the vibrant North Hermosa lifestyle.
