Built in 1912, this property is marketed as a 'vintage' cottage and an investment/development opportunity. The age of the structure, combined with the description of it being a legal duplex configured as a triplex, suggests significant deferred maintenance, outdated systems, and a need for substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards.
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 'Sand' section of Hermosa Beach, the property is just steps from the ocean and within easy walking distance of the downtown pier's dining and shopping.
With both studio units delivered vacant, the property offers an immediate opportunity for market-rate leasing, owner-occupancy, or redevelopment without the complexity of tenant relocation.
Built in 1912, the vintage structure likely requires substantial capital expenditure for modern upgrades, structural maintenance, and system replacements to meet current standards.
