About This Home

As of October 2018

Warmth and charm abound from this light-filled, Lower Hermosa beach house, resting upon a usable 10,000+ square foot lot, where you will enjoy tranquil ocean views, warm coastal breezes and a close proximity to world-famous Windansea Beach. A lushly landscaped front yard welcomes you into the open interior including 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, large living areas flowing from one to the next, and a generous granite kitchen. Head upstairs where you will find a spacious loft/office… …which could be a 4th bedroom, showcasing an exposed beam ceiling, built-in desk, and numerous French doors opening onto an ocean view deck. Expansive and serene, the breathtaking backyard presents the perfect setting to dine al fresco on your flagstone patio, channel your inner green thumb by working in your verdant garden, or just lounge and take in views to the Pacific Ocean. The highly coveted Lower Hermosa locale is a short stroll to picturesque Windansea Beach, and just a short distance to everything Bird Rock and the Village have to offer.
