Nestled in the heart of Hermosa Beach, this home is a quintessential coastal cottage that blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. This charming single-level home invites you in with original hardwood floors, crisp white walls and custom millwork that exudes warmth and craftsmanship.

Just adjacent, the formal dining area offers a gracious setting for entertaining, framed by detailed moldings and paned glass pocket doors that open into a delightful kitchen. A mix of vintage charm and modern utility, the kitchen features marble-patterned black-and-white flooring, thick marble countertops, farmhouse sink, open shelving, double oven and a five-burner Bosch stainless steel range—all complemented by crisp white cabinetry and a classic subway tile backsplash. There’s even a sunny nook perfect for a breakfast table. Off the kitchen, an updated bathroom includes clean hex tile floors and subway tile shower walls with refined finish details. A separate laundry area provides abundant storage and convenience. Three spacious bedrooms line the hall, each with gleaming hardwood floors, generous closets and large windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The large primary bedroom features an angled ceiling detail and is paired with a beautifully renovated second bathroom. This spa-like space showcases a freestanding soaking tub, curbless walk-in shower, dual sinks, painted concrete tile flooring, shiplap walls and designer lighting and fixtures. The private backyard is equally enchanting with lush landscaping and multiple outdoor living areas. A brick patio is perched above, ideal for dining or lounging, while a lower garden-level seating area offers a quiet retreat beneath the trees. This home is a rare blend of coastal charm and thoughtful design, just moments from everything Hermosa Beach has to offer.
