Beach chic meets mid-century bungalow in this fully reimagined Hermosa Beach sand section home. You know how some homes simply beckon you to relax and enjoy life - this home epitomizes this joyful essence. The brand new kitchen of this 3 Bedroom, 3 bath floorplan, has been opened to the living room/great room, creating a completely transformed communal area that's perfect for entertaining. The gorgeous new cobalt blue and white cabinets have white quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, designer brushed gold accents, and a dazzling array of stainless steel appliances, including a four-French door fridge. A white brick wood-burning wide-mouthed fireplace highlights the great room, with new windows and white wood beamed ceilings. Soft natural light drenches the interior and dances across the beautifully refinished 70-year old oak floors, grooved to look like modern wide planks. The cozy dining nook overlooks the front brick patio/yard, surrounded by lush mature ficus trees creating complete privacy from the street. This area transforms into a romantic outdoor “lounge” at night, lit by bistro lights dangling from the trees. A spacious bedroom with hardwood floors services this level with a laundry nook and full hall bath that has been lovingly refurbished, with gleaming tile and striking black fixtures. Through the cozy walkthrough den/office up a half flight of hardwood plank stairs are two ample bedrooms with beamed clings and window seats. The sumptuous primary bath has a steeping tub and separate shower, adorned with travertine stone and separate tub and shower, and a gorgeous dual sink vanity. The walk in closet is accessed from the bath. A spacious two-car garage off Hopkins drive, with a driveway that's large enough for three more cars!! AC was just installed. This home is uniquely comfortable and totally inspired. Eventually the 30 X 91 lot could accommodate two large townhomes with potential ocean views! Or a second story addition. So many possibilities, and yet nothing to do except move in! All this just two blocks to the sand with wonderful restaurants within strolling distance.
