Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1922, this home features recent cosmetic improvements such as new LVP flooring and fresh interior paint. However, the kitchen and bathroom remain dated with older-style cabinetry and fixtures consistent with a 20+ year old renovation cycle. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the property lacks modern system upgrades (HVAC/Electric) and requires functional updates to the wet areas to meet current standards.
Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (10/10).
Situated near the southern tip of the San Pedro Peninsula, the property offers exceptional proximity to Point Fermin Park, Cabrillo Beach, and the significant new LA Harbor waterfront development.
This 1920s bungalow beautifully preserves original architectural details like the mosaic hearth fireplace while incorporating contemporary upgrades such as new LVP flooring and a fresh neutral palette.
At just 844 square feet with a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the home's compact footprint may be a constraint for growing families or those requiring a second bathroom.
The property utilizes a shared driveway to reach the detached garage, which can lead to potential privacy concerns or logistical inconveniences regarding vehicle access and parking.
There’s something special about a home that the same family has loved for forty years. At 2639 S. Denison Avenue, that sense of history is woven into every corner: a charming 1920s cottage bungalow that has quietly served as a gathering place, a retreat, and a cherished part of one family’s story for generations. Now, for the first time in decades, it is ready to welcome its next chapter. Set near the southern tip of the San Pedro Peninsula, this inviting 2BD/1BA home captures the relaxed character of coastal living, where ocean breezes mingle with the Peninsula’s timeless charm. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, opening to interiors that feel bright, comfortable, and refreshingly uncomplicated. Updated LVP flooring runs throughout the home, complemented by a soft neutral palette that allows its original character to shine. At the heart of the living room, a classic fireplace with a distinctive mosaic hearth offers a reminder of the home’s 1920s roots and the kind of architectural detail that simply cannot be recreated. The floor plan unfolds with easy style. Sunlight fills the living spaces through generously sized windows, while the kitchen retains the approachable charm of the era with abundant cabinetry and room for casual dining. Both bedrooms offer comfortable proportions, creating spaces that feel equally suited to quiet mornings, visiting family, or a thoughtfully designed home office. Outdoors, the property takes on another personality. A lush, tropical-inspired backyard greenscape creates a private setting with mature plantings, garden areas, and space to imagine long afternoons outdoors, weekend gatherings, or a secluded coastal retreat of your own. A shared driveway leads to an extended detached garage, with laundry hookups located in the garage and the backyard, adding valuable flexibility and utility. The location completes the picture of this home’s potential. Close to Fort MacArthur, Point Fermin Park, Cabrillo Beach and Marina, downtown San Pedro’s dining and shopping, and the upcoming LA Harbor waterfront development, the home places some of the area’s most distinctive coastal attractions within easy reach. Some homes are renovated into something entirely new. 2639 S. Denison Avenue is special because it has been carefully carried forward. A well-loved coastal cottage with nearly a century of character, four decades of one family’s memories, and an opportunity for its next owner to become part of the story.
