About this home

VERY SPECIAL & RARE OPPORTUNITY IN NORTH HERMOSA HILL — REMODEL, EXPAND OR BUILD NEW! This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath home presents a rare opportunity to own in one of North Hermosa Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods. Perfect for a First-Time Buyer looking to establish roots in Hermosa Beach, a homeowner seeking to Remodel or Add On, or a Builder/Developer envisioning a stunning new custom residence, this property offers an exceptional combination of location, lot and future potential. Situated on a 50-Foot-Wide, Flat, West-Facing Lot, the property provides an outstanding setting for a future new home, with potential Ocean Views from a Second Story. The adjacent property to the North offers a good indication of the type of development possible on this site. The existing home is in great maintained condition and features an Oversized 2-Car Garage, providing ample parking and storage while offering the opportunity to enjoy the property today and improve or expand over time. Several properties just a few doors away have recently undergone substantial remodeling or been replaced with impressive new construction, with finished properties selling well above this property's asking price, further highlighting the potential of this location. Adding to the appeal is the setting on a quiet, highly desirable One-Block-Long Residential Street, a special neighborhood enclave where long-term families, friendly neighbors and children create a genuine sense of community. Block parties, neighborhood gatherings and kids playing in the neighborhood are part of the character that makes this location so appealing and difficult to duplicate. A Great Elementary School and Children's Park are just around the corner, while the highly regarded Middle School and High School are only a few blocks away and within easy walking distance. The location is also convenient to Shops, Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Downtown Hermosa Beach and, of course, the Beach. With its rare 50-Foot Frontage, Flat West-Facing Lot, Oversized 2-Car Garage, desirable neighborhood setting and tremendous potential, this is an opportunity to secure a property in one of North Hermosa's most coveted residential areas and create something truly special — whether enjoying the existing home, remodeling and expanding, or building a beautiful new custom home.
