About This Home

An great opportunity to live in the sought-after Hermosa Hills. This authentic Hermosa Beach cottage offers charm and an exceptional upside in one of the South Bay's most desirable neighborhoods. Lovingly cherished by the same family for decades, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits on a larger 4,090 sq ft corner lot and presents a rare opportunity to reimagine, renovate, and create long-term value. Upon entering the home, you'll find abundant natural light, hardwood floors, large picture windows, and peek-a-boo ocean views creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The sunlit living room with fireplace flows easily into the dining area and a eat-in kitchen, while the home's original character and thoughtful layout provide an ideal foundation for future revamping. The generous backyard is designed for low maintenance outdoor living with hardscape, and multiple spaces for entertaining, dining, and relaxing. An attached two-car garage plus parking for two additional vehicles adds rare convenience for beach-area living. Ideally located near highly rated Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach schools, the property is just moments from the beach, Pacific Coast Highway, and the restaurants, cafes, and boutiques of downtown Hermosa Beach. Whether restoring its classic charm, thoughtfully updating over time, or fully reimagining the property, this home presents a unique opportunity to own a well-loved coastal home with enduring potential in a premier Hermosa Beach location.
