tand on the rooftop deck and the
view is stirring as it is all-encom-
passing: Manhattan Pier stretches
into the distance, Hermosa Pier
glints in the sunlight, and beyond
it all, Redondo Pier anchors the horizon. "From
the rooftop deck, you have views of the three
piers," describes real estate agent Jen Caskey.
"Plus, you have sand and whitewater views. It's
truly beautiful."
This is the result of an oversized lot—50%
larger than standard Hermosa Beach parcels—
that's been dressed with a crisply elegant
residence that extends beyond today's building
height restrictions. Loftier than its neighbors,
the white home appears to float above the
street, commanding an unobstructed view
corridor that extends straight out to the horizon.
INSIDE MEETS OUTSIDE
Positioned directly across from the 23rd Street
walk street, the property is home to a collage of
dreamlike scenes that are forever protected—
it's a vantage point that's been optimized by
expansive glass walls and fresh-air terraces
throughout the residence.
Recently taken down to the studs and
completely reimagined by the current
owners—a duo with a strong track record of
transforming coastal properties—working in
collaboration with contractor Icaza Construc-
tion, the home has nearly 4,500 square feet
of refined living space that unfolds across 6
bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
The layout looks and feels luxurious, while
being blissfully livable. Indoor and outdoor
spaces mingle delightfully throughout, from the
uber-private front courtyard—a European-in-
spired haven with a copper beach shower—to
generous patios linking the kitchen and sleep-
ing spaces with the beachfront.
The 700-square-foot rooftop deck is a signa-
ture feature—a resort-style sanctuary where
a smart hot tub with waterfall seating for six
takes center stage. At sunset, the vista glows,
and the bright hues of the sky ignite over the
water as you entertain, dine or sink into warm
water while pondering the coast's gentle arc. In
darkness, the rooftop deck becomes a private
observatory—waves crashing below, stars twin-
kling overhead.
EUROPEAN ELEGANCE, CALIFORNIA LIGHT
Throughout the residence, the aesthetic is tran-
quil—borne of warm materials and clean-cut
European sophistication. The sunlit foyer is a
two-story space anchored by a curving staircase,
slender and elegant, its antique brass bannis-
ter a retained detail from the original structure.
