This one-of-a-kind, custom-built Spanish-style home embodies the ultimate family-friendly beach lifestyle with wonderful views and a true backyard. Designed by respected architect Michael Lee to maximize its hilltop location on an oversized lot, this serene home artfully combines old Hollywood glamour with modern elements. Located within a quiet neighborhood among some of Hermosa’s finest homes, it’s just steps to the beach, Valley Park, North School, and Hermosa Valley School, making it a dream location for children.

Perched at one of the highest points in the sand section, nearly every room offers a view—whether it's of the ocean, Catalina Island, Palos Verdes, or the greenery thoughtfully incorporated into the landscape. The oversized 3,905 sq. ft. lot, rare this close to the beach, boasts a large play-size backyard and covered patio, totaling approximately 1,000 sq. ft. It’s the perfect outdoor gathering place. The lot is 120’ deep, 40’ deeper than the typical sand section lot in Hermosa.

With multiple decks, balconies, LaCantina retracting doors, skylights, numerous windows and French doors, this home effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with all-day sun, sea breezes, and the calming sound of the surf. The roof deck is a peaceful retreat, where you can relax and enjoy panoramic views and stunning sunsets.

Designed with family in mind, the ingenious floor plan includes an owner’s wing with a panoramic view primary suite and a large office (or 6th bedroom/nursery), a dedicated "kids' floor" with its own family room, and open entertaining spaces that flow seamlessly to outdoor areas. It’s perfect for large families, out of town visitors and kids home from college. Complementary finishes include Peruvian walnut hardwood floors, custom Douglas Fir kitchen cabinets, soapstone, Carrara marble, and unique lighting fixtures. Additional features include radiant heated floors, a surf shower, security system and cameras, Cat-6 wiring throughout, 4 car parking, and a welcoming entry courtyard with a security gate.
