"In Hermosa Beach,
there are only two streets that are walk streets with views—and
this is one of them." It's local real estate pro Bryn Stroyke discuss-
ing a fresh, streamlined home perched along a neighborly walk
street in North Hermosa. It's a location where it's uncommon for
a home to come up for sale; particularly a new, contemporary one.
Completed in 2019, the four-bedroom residence spans approx-
imately 3,500 square feet and was purchased by owners who
installed a flurry of pricy new upgrades, from a glassed-in wine
display for over 500 bottles to a new tech package automating
everything from lights, shades and security cameras.
Creature comforts aside, the home's prime Beach Cities
address is among its biggest draws. Located on 30th Street,
the location straddles the line between Manhattan Beach and
Hermosa Beach, and is nicely amenable to both on foot and bike.
"It's in a great little pocket of North Hermosa," Stroyke says of
the home, where one can stroll to neighborhood deli and market
Boccato's or a cluster of small eateries in less than 5 minutes.
"But you're also walking distance to downtown Manhattan Beach
and all of its restaurants," he adds, "and a further walk brings
you to downtown Hermosa Beach." So appealing is the home that
within two weeks of Stroyke bringing it to market, it was in escrow.
Functionalism dominates the home—not only in its well-artic-
ulated floorplan, but in the way the design makes the most of its
California coastal setting. This is a location where one can grab
a surfboard and dive into the waves in less than 5 minutes on
foot, or just gaze at mellow ocean vistas from one of the home's
many oversized windows and open-air spaces. "You have unique
views due to the setting," Stroyke explains, detailing how proper-
ties on this side of the walk street—the south side—have a taller
height allowance than those across the street, on the north side.
"Your northwest views are enhanced by the height reduction that
happens right across the walk street," says the agent. The result
