Perched on the westernmost edge of the Esplanade, the iconic Esplanade Cottage is one of the South Bay’s most recognizable and admired homes. As the last residence on the bluff before the coastline gives way to the most incredible, totally outrageous, jaw-dropping, heart pounding unobstructed Pacific Ocean views, its setting is simply impossible to duplicate.
For generations, this distinctive landmark has captivated walkers, cyclists, photographers, and locals alike, earning its place as one of Redondo Beach’s defining coastal treasures. Rich in character and history, this is far more than a home—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an address that has become part of the South Bay’s identity.
Whether your vision is to thoughtfully restore its timeless charm, undertake a world-class renovation, or create a legacy estate worthy of this extraordinary setting, opportunities to acquire a property this iconic, this irreplaceably positioned along the California coast are exceptionally rare.
