More Insights

Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2000, is 24 years old. While the description notes it's 'clean, freshly painted, and move-in ready' with 'updated recessed lighting,' the images reveal that the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated styles. The kitchen has traditional light wood cabinets, granite countertops, and a tiled backsplash that appear original or from an early 2000s renovation. The bathrooms also have dated tiled countertops and floor tiles. These elements, while functional and well-maintained, show signs of being outdated and would likely require cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.

About this home

Detached front townhome in a prime Hermosa Beach location. This home combines the space and function of a single-family residence with the convenience of low-maintenance coastal living. Walkable to the beach, shops, and restaurants, with quick access across PCH to the sand, this property offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and value. The interiors are clean, freshly painted, and move-in ready. Updated recessed lighting brightens the living areas, while versatile spaces throughout the home provide room to live, work, and play. With 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated office or 4th bedroom complete with closet, the floorplan adapts easily to your needs. A bonus utility room off the garage and laundry area is ideal for storing beach gear, creating a workout studio, or setting up your choice of a hobby space. Enjoy partial ocean views from the living room and deck, and head up to the private roof deck for panoramic coastline vistas stretching from Palos Verdes to Malibu. This expansive outdoor retreat is perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in Hermosa’s signature sunsets. Although part of a two-on-a-lot with a shared driveway, this front unit offers its own private driveway with two additional parking spaces. This unique feature, paired with the attached 2-car garage, provides ample parking and enhances the feel of a true single-family home. Additional highlights include a light-filled open layout and a location that balances quiet residential living with close proximity to Hermosa’s lively beach scene. Whether as a primary residence or coastal getaway, 944 5th Street offers the best of Southern California living with flexible spaces and inspiring ocean views.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Hermosa View Elementary School (10/10).
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in a highly desirable Hermosa Beach location, offering exceptional walkability to the beach, shops, and restaurants, blending quiet residential living with vibrant beach access.
Panoramic Ocean Views & Private Roof Deck: Features a private roof deck with panoramic coastline vistas from Palos Verdes to Malibu, providing an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying Hermosa’s signature sunsets, complemented by partial ocean views from the living room and deck.
Flexible & Functional Floorplan: Offers a versatile layout with 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated office or 4th bedroom, and a bonus utility room, adapting easily to various lifestyle needs including work-from-home or hobby spaces.
Ample Private Parking: Boasts a unique private driveway with two additional parking spaces, in addition to an attached 2-car garage, providing significant and rare parking capacity for a beach community property.
Move-in Ready Condition: The interiors are clean, freshly painted, and feature updated recessed lighting, making the home immediately habitable without the need for immediate renovations.

Cons

Shared Property Structure: As a front unit of a 'two-on-a-lot' with a shared driveway, it may not offer the complete independence or privacy of a true single-family detached home.
Townhome Classification: Despite offering a single-family feel, its classification as a detached townhome might imply potential HOA fees or shared responsibilities, which could be a consideration for some buyers.
Partial Ocean Views from Main Living: While the roof deck provides panoramic views, the main living room and deck only offer 'partial' ocean views, which might not meet expectations for buyers seeking full, unobstructed ocean vistas from primary living spaces.
