About This Home
As of September 2025Welcome to 404 Hermosa Avenue #5, a breathtaking ocean-view corner penthouse located just steps from the beach and Downtown Hermosa Beach. This brand-new remodeled, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom residence comes fully furnished with 'Four Seasons' style luxury, down to the linens and silverware. Perched above most buildings on Hermosa Avenue, this prime unit boasts breathtaking views down the walk street and a commanding perspective over the Strand.
The moment you walk through the door, you’ll notice something truly special—this condo’s rare east-west orientation, coupled with the legal nonconforming height, offers uninterrupted sand and surf views from the entire living space and kitchen. Unlike many Hermosa condos, where you have to find the perfect spot to take in the view, this unit provides both standing and seated ocean views throughout the living area, making every moment at home feel like a beachfront retreat. In addition to its stunning views, the entire length of this corner condo is south-facing, allowing abundant natural light to fill the space throughout the day and creating an exceptionally bright and airy atmosphere.
The kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully renovated, blending elegance and convenience. The panoramic view from the living area seamlessly extends to a private balcony, perfect for morning coffee or sunset relaxation. Additional amenities include a new stackable washer and dryer and plenty of closet and storage space. With no neighbors above, this unit offers peace and privacy in one of California’s most desirable beachside communities.
Just steps from the sand yet tucked away from the crowds, this condo provides the best of coastal living. Additional perks include one gated garage parking spot and three street parking passes, a well-maintained building, and close proximity to top-rated schools, trendy restaurants, bars, and boutique shops. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live the endless summer lifestyle in Hermosa Beach!
