About This Home

As of March 2025

Located in the most sought after area of Hermosa Beach, this custom-built single family home boasts panoramic ocean views from three levels. Prestigious Circle Drive is an enclave of luxury homes that is well known to local residents. From the curb, notice the distinctive contemporary style and newly landscaped front yard. Contemporary art glass windows greet you at the front door and sets the tone for what you'll find inside. Wide-plank, solid wood flooring stretches throughout. A unique stainless steel and cherry wood staircase leads to the upstairs living area. Enjoy the panoramic ocean view with Palos Verdes and Catalina Island in the distance. Enjoy sunsets year round while being warmed by the impressive fireplace. Step out to the spacious deck and take in the full view. Notice the built in BBQ and room for al fresco dining. The kitchen features ample, cherry cabinetry and newly installed quartzite counters. Professional grade appliances and built-in subzero and wine refrigerator are other features. The master suite is anchored by another fireplace, ample storage and ocean view. The closet is fully outfitted and will accommodate even the most extensive wardrobe. The bath features a spa tub and room-sized steam shower. A family room provides a separate space to watch TV, kids play area or home office. Two more bedroom suites each offer a luxurious bath. There is even a fully outfitted home gym. Last but not least is the roof deck offering PV to Malibu ocean view. Gather here with friends, or enjoy a more intimate party in the full-size spa. Watch the sunset, open a bottle of wine and just relax! Walk to trendy shops, coffee houses, bistros and gastropubs. Run on the Strand, stroll along the shore and listen to the waves crash near your feet. Watch the pelicans flying low above the water. This lifestyle is yours if you act quickly. Arrange a private showing, you'll regret it if you don't.
