Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this 84-year-old multi-unit property requires significant rehab and repositioning to reach market potential. While two units have received modern updates, the remaining units and exterior elements—such as the weathered garage door and dated common areas—show substantial age-related wear, and the listing explicitly highlights the value of the lot and the need for renovation.
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 highly coveted Hermosa Beach Sand Section on a rare street-to-street lot, the property offers exceptional proximity to the beach, Pier Avenue, and top-rated schools.
With a current configuration of five units and substantial square footage including a finished basement, there is meaningful upside through repositioning, renovation, or full redevelopment to match surrounding luxury homes.
The property is currently configured as five units while tax records reflect a triplex, which may present complexities regarding financing, legal compliance, and future permitting.
Originally built in 1940, the property requires significant capital investment to modernize several units and address potential deferred maintenance typical of older coastal structures.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a multi-unit property in one of Hermosa Beach’s most desirable locations, just a short distance to the beach and moments from the energy of Pier Avenue. Situated on a 31x100 square foot street to street lot - 518 Bayview Drive and 519 Monterey Boulevard - the property records reflect a triplex but the property is currently configured with 4 separate occupied units, along with a separate room currently used for storage (including plumbing), offering immediate rental income with meaningful upside through repositioning and renovation and potential ADU opportunity. The unit mix consists of two 2 bedroom 1 bath units, one 1 bedroom unit, one studio and the extra storage unit. The tax records show 1,678 square feet but the total space measured at 1,747 square feet plus a finished basement of approximately 560 square feet and a storage area of approximately 400 square feet for a total of approximately 2,707 square feet. 518 & 518-1/2 Bayview have been updated, including a recently improved upper unit with modern finishes and interior laundry, while others present a clear opportunity to enhance and capture stronger market rents. Set on a sought-after street surrounded by newer and extensively updated homes, the value here is driven as much by the location and lot as it is by the existing improvements. For investors, developers, or owner-users seeking flexibility and long-term potential, the property offers multiple paths forward. With close proximity to the Strand, local dining, shops, and the Hermosa Beach lifestyle, this is a rare chance to secure a well-located asset with both current income and future upside.
