About this home

SUMMER RENTAL OPPORTUNITY JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER!!! Beach chic meets mid-century bungalow in this fully reimagined Hermosa Beach sand section home. You know how some homes simply beckon you to relax and enjoy life - this home epitomizes this joyful essence. The brand new kitchen of this 3 Bedroom plus Den, 3 bath floorplan, has been opened to the living room/great room, creating a completely transformed communal area that's perfect for entertaining. The gorgeous new cobalt blue and white cabinets have white quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, designer brushed gold accents, and a dazzling array of stainless steel appliances, including a four-French door fridge. A white brick wood-burning wide-mouthed fireplace highlights the great room, with new windows and white wood beamed ceilings. Soft natural light drenches the interior and dances across the beautifully refinished 70-year old oak floors, grooved to look like modern wide planks. The cozy dining nook overlooks the front brick patio/yard, surrounded by lush mature ficus trees creating complete privacy from the street. This area transforms into a romantic outdoor “lounge” at night, lit by bistro lights dangling from the trees. A spacious bedroom with hardwood floors services this level with a laundry nook and full hall bath that has been lovingly refurbished, with gleaming tile and striking black fixtures. Through the cozy walkthrough den/office up a half flight of hardwood plank stairs are two ample bedrooms with beamed clings and window seats. The sumptuous primary bath has a steeping tub and separate shower, adorned with travertine stone and separate tub and shower, and a gorgeous dual sink vanity. The walk in closet is accessed from the bath. A spacious two-car garage off Hopkins drive, with a driveway that's large enough for three more cars!! AC was just installed. This home is uniquely comfortable and totally inspired. All this just two blocks to the sand with wonderful restaurants within strolling distance.
