2654 The Strand

Welcome to the closest thing to a private beach in the Beach Cities. This beautifully maintained, classic beach bungalow was handcrafted in 1932. Bask in all the quality and timeless charm of the 1930’s, including peg and groove oak hardwood flooring, lath and plaster finished walls and ceilings, hand hewn wood beamed ceiling in the living room, two gas lit wood burning fireplaces, art deco tile, classic metal railings and grandfathered in, three car, side by side garage parking. Beneath the garage and accessed from a private brick patio, find charming his and hers beach baths and dressing rooms, plus a handy workshop that may have doubled as an old school bomb shelter back in the day. This legendary home sits on Shakespeare Beach Tract and the world famous Strand, consists of 3150sf, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths plus a large flex room that could be a bunk house or guest quarters with its own entry stairwell from the east. The owners have remodeled and updated the kitchen with new custom cabinetry, quartz counters, designer tile backsplash, designer plumbing fixtures and double sink, pendant and recessed lighting, large tile floors, stainless steel appliances and casement windows. In addition, the entire property has been recently painted inside and out, keeping it in meticulous condition. This home is turnkey and provides the new owner a foothold in arguably the best Strand location, on a stretch of beach that feels almost private, where there are no beach access points north of 26th until 30th Street. Additionally, it is ideally located between the piers, offering easy, flat walking distance to both Hermosa and Manhattan Beach downtowns. Enjoy a flat stroll to amazing and diverse retail and restaurants including Martha’s 22nd Street Grill and Corner, The Bottle Inn, The Green Store, The North End, Slay Hermosa, Boccato’s Deli and Groceries, Brother’s Burritos and more. Also, enjoy Valley Park, Hermosa’s 10 acre lush park that sits just two blocks to the east. Make your dream home a reality here, living life at the speed of leisure.
