About 537 S Helberta Avenue

This coastal cottage presents an extraordinary, permit-ready opportunity to create a stunning ocean-view home. The fully designed and approved plans call for a beautifully reimagined 3,055-square-foot residence featuring 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, a gourmet kitchen with dining area, expansive great-room living, and a wraparound deck designed to capture exceptional panoramic ocean views. The architectural plans for the remodel and second-story addition are fully stamped, approved, and permitted, allowing construction to begin immediately upon close of escrow. Estimated completion is approximately one year, saving 8–10 months compared to starting the design and approval process from scratch. The owners have thoughtfully designed a spectacular two-story Coastal Plantation-style home, featuring white horizontal siding, white brick accents, tan wood shutters, and a matching garage door. Entry begins at a covered front porch leading into a welcoming foyer. Guests are drawn upstairs to a dramatic second level showcasing an open-concept gourmet kitchen, dining area, and great room, all opening to a wraparound sit-down ocean-view deck. An additional upper-level living space enhances flexibility and comfort. The lower level includes a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bathroom and private deck, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The thoughtfully planned square footage offers a highly livable and efficient layout. Located on the “Rodeo Drive” of the South Redondo Beach Hill Section, this is a rare chance to fast-track the creation of a virtually new coastal home. With the existing construction bid and contractor, a buyer can complete this remarkable residence for under $3,300,000. Plans and budget are available upon request. Plans are included in the sale. Stake your claim to an exceptional opportunity to build your dream ocean-view home.
