Recently repositioned to reflect today’s market, this architecturally distinctive Mid-Century Revival presents an exceptional opportunity to capture sweeping upper-level ocean views. Nestled in the coveted Sunset Palisades of Shell Beach, the home offers an elevated yet relaxed coastal lifestyle shaped by light, flow, and seamless indoor–outdoor living. Thoughtfully renovated over the past decade, it preserves its original character while elevating every element for modern comfort and ease.
Beyond dramatic 12-foot double entry doors, the 2,245 sq ft interior unfolds with calm intention. Rift-sawn white oak floors, clear-cut cedar and Douglas fir millwork, and custom grain-matched cabinetry create a warm, cohesive design language throughout. Original mitered glass windows frame the coastline and fill the main living spaces with natural light. The living and den areas balance form and function with bespoke TV lift cabinetry and walnut-veneered built-ins that discreetly integrate technology.
The kitchen is equally considered, featuring white oak cabinetry, Bosch, JennAir, and Sub-Zero appliances, Wa-kei Waiko Japanese tile, Kiesebohmer storage systems, and a skylight topped with a custom 3form panel that provides soft ambient light.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with its own ocean-view balcony and panoramic vistas stretching south from Point Sal to Avila Bay. Caseta by Lutron lighting, a floating dual vanity, poured concrete countertop, and Hansgrohe fixtures define the spa-inspired ensuite. The second bedroom includes an ensuite bath, while a third bedroom—currently styled as an office—offers flexibility with custom cabinetry and generous storage.
Outdoor living is thoughtfully layered across levels. The lower deck functions as an extension of the home, ideal for gathering, dining, and enjoying the ocean breeze. The backyard entertaining area features specialty concrete floating terraces, a fireplace with custom concrete hearth, integrated seating, a Lynx BBQ, a cantilevered bar, and rare 1960s Peill & Putzler pendant lighting beneath a trellis. Mature landscaping, including King palms and producing Hass avocado trees, enhances privacy and tranquility. A side yard includes a detached storage shed with potential for a future spa and outdoor shower.
Moments from beaches, parks, and the charm of Shell Beach, 130 Hermosa Drive is designed for living—where architecture, light, and coastal perspective align.
