Classic Beachfront Home in Hermosa Beach Goes Into Escrow

Beachfront home sales have been a challenge lately as the combination of a high number of homes on the market and lofty prices have made for a slow market.  We recently mentioned the home at 3033 The Strand as it’s on a very nice sized lot with great beach frontage.  The north Hermosa location is ideal as it’s quieter than areas down near the pier and is about equidistant from downtown areas of both Manhattan and Hermosa.  We’ll keep you posted if and when this home closes and the sales price can be released.

Historic Beachfront Home for Sale at 3033 The Strand In Hermosa Beach

Historic Hermosa - 3033 The Strand beachfront home

3033 The Strand in Hermosa Beach was just recently relisted and while we’re a bit biased (we love older beach homes with that original beach look and feel) this is an interesting home due to the beach frontage.  Originally listed in the spring of  2019, the home came out at $19,000,000.  A few price reductions later it was eventually taken off the market.  It’s recently come back on for a more reasonable $14,900,000.  The home was built in 1932 so it’s been an iconic property on the Strand for almost 100 years.  Sitting on 45′ wide lot it’s ideally located in north Hermosa so just a bit quieter than homes closer to the pier.  Although it is most likely being sold strictly for the land, the current home offers 6 bedrooms, 7 baths and a bit over 4,000 square feet.

Want and even easier way to search for homes in Hermosa?  Tell us just a little bit about your ideal home and we’ll customize a search just for you and send you free email listing alerts when a new home hits the market.  Never miss a new Hermosa listing again!

Oceanfront homes of Paseo De La Playa

505 Paseo De La Playa – Oceanfront Home for Sale in the Hollywood Riviera at $5,500,000

Paseo De La Playa homes in Redondo Beach

505 Paseo De La Playa Redondo Beach

If you’re looking for a beachfront opportunity that doesn’t come along all that often, 505 Paseo De La Playa might be the home and location for you.  Unlike the beachfront homes of the Manhattan Beach Strand and Hermosa Strand, Paseo De La Playa offers even better views and a bit of privacy.  They offer very large lots with the land extending all the way down to the beach.  It’s rare to see one of these incredible oceanfront homes hit the market and this is no exception.  Built in 1962 it’s an older home that feels pretty dated and will likely get/need quite a bit of work to become a luxury home,  but as they say in real estate, “location, location, location”.

Paseo De La Playa is a hilly street with the homes on the west side sitting on a beachfront bluff with incredible views of the ocean, PV and the coastline.  The home is listed at $5,500,000 this is a 4 bedroom (one bedroom downstairs and 3 upstairs), 3 bath home with just under 3,200 square feet.

Nice Oceanfront 1 Bedroom in Sand Castle on the Redondo Beach Esplanade

New Oceanfront Listing at 615 Esplanade #102

If you’re looking for a more affordable way of living oceanfront in Southern California, the Esplanade of Redondo beach might be just what you’re looking for.  Due to denser zoning, there are a number of oceanfront buildings unseen anywhere else in the South Bay.  The Sand Castle at 615 Esplanade is one of those buildings.

#102 is a first floor unit, meaning it’s in the front building with somewhat limited views due to the elevation and walkway in front but certainly an opportunity to remodel a bit and have a great full time or vacation property.

We do feel that the price is on the higher side as this is similar to a 5th floor view (first floor of the rear building with obstructed views due to the roof of the front building).  The last 2 5th floor units sold in the mid to high $600,000s.

Would You List Your Home Without Professional Listing Photos?

Professional photography in real estate

In the world of high end beachfront homes for sale, the level of marketing and presentation of a home or a listing can make all of the difference in the world.  With over 85% of buyers searching online it’s critical to capture their interest immediately.  One of the absolute imperatives to getting your home the most interest is compelling home photos and photography.  Many listing agents snap a few quick pictures with a digital camera and that’s the extent of the process (some don’t even do that and actually use pictures from Google street view!)

If you’re considering selling your home you should definitely ask the realtors you are considering how they market their listings and what staging and photography options they offer you.  We highly recommend looking at some of their past listings to see just how professionally they were presented.

 

Harriman Lane Redondo Beach

Take a look at some of the pictures below and see what a difference photographs really do make.  As listing agents our job is to prepare a home for sale and market it in the very best possible light.   While it obviously costs money to have a professional photographer come and take the pictures, it can mean all the difference in the world.  As one of the top realtors in the South Bay we want to present all of our listings as luxury properties and always use professional photographers at no cost to our clients.

Professional Photography V Regular Photos

Professional photography offers a wider viewpoint making rooms look larger and brighter than regular cameras and iphone cameras

Same bedrooom with professional photography  versus Canon 35mm

Dark and small or bright and open with ocean views…which would you prefer?  Spaces look larger and brighter and details (such as the ocean view) are much clearer

Which one makes the property look more impressive as a large lot horse property?   The first picture was actually taken from further away.  The second captures the impressive property with tack room and corral.

1534 The Strand Hermosa Beach

Beachfront 1534 The Strand in Hermosa Beach Sells for $8,700,000

1534 The Strand, Hermosa Beach

Another recent sale on the beachfront strip known as the Strand in Hermosa Beach reveals a bit about this high end market.  The home at 1534 The Strand had been on the market for quite a while and was originally listed with another agent.  The home was originally priced at $11,900,000 back in June of 2019 with a number of price reductions leading up to the final list price of $9,999,000.  This beachfront home eventually sold for $3.2M below the original list price which is pretty reflective of the Strand real estate market in both Hermosa and Manhattan Beach.

The home was very nice with quite an abundance of custom features.   The top level was pretty spectacular and the showcase of the home with a huge deck that offered an ocean view jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, spacious seating area and something pretty rare for Strand homes…..a bit of privacy.
