Nestled in a picturesque hillside neighborhood of Hermosa Beach, this turnkey Craftsman home radiates warmth and character. From the street, tall grasses dance gently around a stunning tree framing the charming front porch. Extensively updated in recent years, the upgrades are too many to mention all including additions of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and a fully remodeled interior with rich hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The kitchen feels like the center of the home with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink and breakfast bar. The interior flows to the backyard and patio space which epitomizes the lifestyle of Southern California living year-round and will capture your heart. Professionally landscaped, the flat, expansive backyard on this rare 50 x 100 sq ft lot is a private oasis filled with lush greenery and mature trees reaching up above it all. There’s so much to see as you walk out the French doors. Don’t say we didn’t warn you… as an entertaining paradise, your home will become the destination for gathering for all of life’s celebrations. A spacious stone patio with a full fireplace provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining and cozying up at sunset. It’s a full outdoor living and dining room. The turfed yard beyond beckons fun and captures your imagination. Tucked away are hidden corners for every enthusiast to discover. Seeking relaxation… soak away in the hot tub. Coming off the beach… rinse off in the private outdoor shower with hot water. Feeling creative… the workshop awaits your tinkering. Love your farm to table breakfast… grab your fresh eggs out of the coop. Time to play… soar away in the tree swing. The surprise and delight go on and on at this one-of-a-kind property. In addition, so much to enjoy awaits in Hermosa. Our famed beach, Pier Avenue, Strand, markets and schools are all so close with a coveted Walk Score of 93. Your special place to create memories awaits in this Hermosa Beach backyard of dreams.
