Cozy Contemporary Beach House...Steps from Surf
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Hermosa Beach
Fell immediately in love with the South Beach area. We found this hip new beach house to be a quiet retreat yet set in the heart of this active yet tranquil beach and surf city lifestyle. Enjoy having the relaxing middle section of the beach but still so close to the fun of either Pier and people watching. Really enjoy the warm, friendly locals, beautiful neighborhood and watching the surfers heading out in the morning. Terrific local amenities you can appreciate either by walking, biking or driving. And its just a short 2 hour flight along the West Coast for us.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach Community House
Situated between Manhattan and Hermosa beach. Steps from the Strand walk/bike path, jogging trails, parks, restaurants/bars and 10 minutes from LAX. You can walk the dog at the Strand or the Valley Trail. There is also a nearby bike rental place just before Hermosa Pier. Great shopping nearby. Its a short drive to Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Malibu and Downtown LA. Couple hours drive to San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Disneyland, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara.
Walking, jogging, biking, boarding path. Great for exercise and people watching. We walk through access at 29th St.
Nice family park featuring play area, BBQ and tables, nice trees, full sports fields and basketball court. Easy walk.
Walking, jogging, exercise, dog walking trail. Beautiful landscaping. Continues for miles both directions, can get to downtown Manhattan beach area.
Cool, casual yummy Mexican food. Beach view from upper deck. Across street, the great North End sports bar.
