About This Home

As of May 2025

Introducing a truly exceptional 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence in Hermosa Beach, where thoughtful design and laid-back elegance come together in perfect harmony. Designed by Tim Clarke with a “Soho at the beach” inspiration, this expansive home blends traditional and contemporary elements, incorporating vintage touches, rich textures, and curated details that celebrate its coastal setting. From carefully selected color palettes and designer wallpaper to statement light fixtures and a stunning exposed beam in the main living area, every detail reflects Clarke’s refined aesthetic and hands-on involvement. Upstairs, stunning ocean vistas frame the open-concept living space, where a chef’s kitchen with a large center island and integrated high-end appliances flows effortlessly into the main living and dining areas. Step through sliding doors onto a serene front patio or head to the rear terrace, designed for al fresco cooking. From there, ascend to the rooftop deck where views, sea breezes, and sunshine complete the picture. The main level features a spacious and tranquil primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite bath with a standing tub and dual shower heads, along with two additional large bedrooms, a guest bath, and a laundry room. On the lower level, two more bedrooms—including one with its own ensuite bath—offer the perfect setup for guests or extended family. Tucked into a quiet residential street just minutes from the sand, downtown Hermosa, and award-winning schools, this home offers a rare opportunity to live in a thoughtfully curated space that feels both effortlessly stylish and unmistakably Hermosa.
