About This Property

There is something truly special about a vintage home that has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated. Offering 2,352 square feet of interior living space on a generous 4,587-square-foot lot, this home blends classic architecture with the charm of a beachside lifestyle.

Character and comfort come together in inspiring fashion, featuring coved plaster ceilings, built-in china cabinets, a cozy fireplace, crystal doorknobs, and kiln-dried pine floors. The spacious, recently remodeled kitchen is ideal for family gatherings, complete with a massive eat-on island, lustrous quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, and modern stainless-steel appliances.

The home includes two sumptuous remodeled bathrooms, newer windows, a stackable washer and dryer, and ample closet space throughout. Outside, the oversized lot showcases an incredible south-facing grassy yard and gracious patio, all just six blocks from the pristine sands of Hermosa Beach.

There are five spacious bedrooms, two of which share a large balcony overlooking the backyard-perfect for soaking in coastal breezes. It's the modern comfort of a bygone era.
