Rare Oceanfront Opportunity in the Hollywood Riviera
We’ve talked a lot about this property in the past as it was actually the all time

sales record when it sold a few years back at $22,650,000 in early 2018.
Given the location on the oceanfront bluff top street of Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera, this is an impossible to replicate property…. incredible combination of oceanfront location, huge 1.4 acre (we don’t generally talk in acres in the South Bay) lot that extends to the sand below and two homes making it a true showcase estate. There’s nothing else like it on the South Bay.
The property actually consists of 2 distinct homes….the main home with 5

bedrooms and 8 total baths, and the “guest” home with 5 bedrooms and 7 total baths. Both homes are high on the bluff with unbeatable and unblockable ocean, PV and coastline views. The properties have stairs down to the beach below which is also a challenge to duplicate due to very restrictive California Coastal Commision restrictions.
The property was actually on the market back in 2020 and 2021 first at $27.0M and then at $23M but never sold. They also tried to sell the properties separately.

Oceanfront Estate On the Market (once again) in the Hollywood Riviera of Redondo
We’ve seen this home in the Hollywood Riviera of Redondo Beach on and off the market for years now but the oceanfront estate at 433 Paseo De La Playa has returned with a new price. Originally listed in 2014 for $16,000,000 it’s been on and off ever since and now back at a much more attractive price.
The home is definitely custom which has certainly not helped appeal to a larger market as it’s very ornate and formal despite the luxury coastal location. This one is all about the possibilities as it’s a massive with almost 7,800 foot home with approved plans to add another 2,000+ square feet. This ornate estate sits on a huge 26,580 foot lot that extends down the hillside to the beach below. In our opinion this is one of the best locations in all of the South Bay as it combines stunning views, direct beach access and privacy you just don’t find in most other beachfront locations in Southern California. Due to all of this it’s very hard to replicate what this has to offer.
Due to the lot size this is a true estate type home with a gated entry, sports court, oceanfront pool, grand staircase, 4 car garage. For those looking for a legacy type property this checks a lot of boxes and would be very hard to duplicate. As mentioned the home has been on and off the market for a very long time. It hit the market in 2014 (had sold in 2012) at a then over the top $16M. It was listed and relisted several times from 2014-2018 at similar price points. The home was relisted once agai at $14.9M in 2018 and then eventually at $14.5M and pulled off of the market at the beginning of this year.

1923 Beachfront Bungalow Duplex at 44 The Strand in Hermosa Beach
New to the South Bay beachfront home market is one of the originals. Built in 1923 this historical duplex definitely still has the look of homes that used to line this incredible beach in the Hermosa Beach sand section. The latest addition to the very crowded beachfront home market in Hermosa Beach is an original beach duplex located at 44 The Strand. Built in 1923 this property is one of the original beachfront homes and one of the few that remain from this historic era.
Currently a duplex with a 3/2 and a 2/1 unit. The actual location on the Strand is somewhat of a challenge (if a beachfront location can be a challenge) as it’s one of the very first homes as you go from Redondo to Hermosa and this is always a bit of a negative from a value standpoint.
The real appeal, however is that this is a lot and a half with a pretty significant 45 feet of beach frontage. The property will likely sell for land value and get torn down which is too bad but the way it goes in this real estate climate. This property last sold in July of 2019 for $5,600,000

New Beachfront Listing In Manhattan Beach – 3404 The Strand Listed for $14,995,000
The already abundant beachfront home market in Manhattan Beach CA just added another unique property. 3404 The Strand in Manhattan Beach just came on the market and is a bit different from most of the other current listings.
3404 The Strand is a duplex that isn’t the usual main home and then guest quarters type situation. 3404 The Strand offers two sizable home and both have incredible views. Neither are ultra luxury condition but both are in very nice shape with an abundance of upgrades and still have somewhat a casual coastal feel. The front home sits just off of the sand and offers unblockable ocean and beach views. It’s a bit larger than the rear home. The rear home is higher than the current height limits would allow making it a very unique home as even the rear home currently has two levels each with magnificent ocean views. It’s a bit further north but not yet up to the beach lot so still has a calmer vibe out front.
