About This Home
Welcome to coastal living at its finest in the iconic Sand Castle building on the Esplanade! This charming 1-bedroom condo offers a front-row seat to beachside life, with beautiful sand and whitewater views visible from the private balcony — a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or soak in the vibrant coastal sunsets. While partially framed by the building in front, the views still capture the best of the beach atmosphere, with the sound of waves and the ocean breeze always present.
Inside, this well-maintained unit features rich hardwood flooring throughout and a spacious, light-filled layout with endless potential to personalize. The kitchen and bathroom remain in clean, original condition, offering a great opportunity for the next owner to upgrade to their taste. The generously sized bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and the living room opens seamlessly to the balcony and beach views beyond.
The unit includes a reserved parking space near the elevator, as well as a large, private storage unit — ideal for your beach gear or cruiser bike. Residents of the Sand Castle enjoy direct beach access and community amenities including an ocean-view rec room, sauna, bathrooms, and showers.
All current building assessments have been paid by the seller, and the building exterior is nearing completion of its stunning renovation — soon to be one of the best-looking communities on the Esplanade.
Whether you're looking for a beach getaway or a blank canvas to create your dream oceanfront home, this is a rare opportunity in one of South Redondo's most sought-after locations.
