This custom designed home was constructed in 2019 with an intentional focus on privacy, natural light, effortless entertaining, and everyday livability, this North Hermosa Beach residence offers a rare combination of architectural scale, warmth, and thoughtful design in the Sand Section.

Set on a quiet street just blocks from the beach, downtown Hermosa, and Pier Avenue, the home is positioned against a hillside backdrop surrounded by mature pine trees with sweeping Hermosa Valley views and peek ocean vistas. Unlike many newer beach homes, the layout was designed around how people actually live, with a main-level entry, open living spaces, seamless indoor/outdoor flow, and multiple outdoor environments that feel both connected and private.

A dramatic skylit entry with 22-foot ceilings, flagstone flooring, and an open staircase leads into the main living level, where Fleetwood corner sliding doors open completely to a spacious terrace overlooking the valley. Wood beam ceilings, solid oak floors, transom windows, and curated material selections create a warm architectural feel throughout the home.

The kitchen was designed for both entertaining and daily function, featuring a full Thermador suite including a 48-inch range, paneled refrigerator, beverage drawers, wine refrigeration, custom cabinetry with integrated storage solutions, quartz countertops, porcelain island detailing, and a walk-in pantry. Adjacent indoor and outdoor living areas are anchored by a striking dual-sided fireplace connecting the interior lounge to the outdoor entertaining terrace with built-in BBQ, bar seating, and outdoor television.

Upstairs, the primary suite captures expansive valley views beneath vaulted wood-beam ceilings and includes dual closets and a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, freestanding soaking tub, walk-in double shower, custom vanity, and Kohler Purist fixtures. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry area, and lofted library complete the upper level.

The lower level was designed as a flexible gathering space with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, entertaining lounge with custom walnut bar, and direct access to the outdoor spa deck and turf yard below. Covered outdoor space accommodates ping pong, gaming, lounging, or year-round entertaining, while an additional lower room has been preconfigured for a future sauna or wellness space.

Across all three levels, the home was intentionally designed to maximize light and views while maintaining privacy, with no direct side-facing windows toward neighboring homes. Marvin windows with stained wood interiors, Fleetwood sliding doors, whole-home water filtration, three-zone HVAC, integrated audio/visual wiring, solar readiness, EV charging capability, and extensive built-in storage further reflect the thoughtful level of planning behind the residence.

Outdoor living is woven into every part of the property, from the elevated main terrace and rooftop deck with fire pit and panoramic sunset views stretching toward Palos Verdes and Catalina, to the spa courtyard, turf yard, and multiple lounge and dining areas tucked into the surrounding landscape.

Architectural yet approachable, refined yet comfortable, this is a home designed not simply to impress, but to be deeply lived in and enjoyed
