Situated on the peak of the Hermosa hill, this charming original Spanish bungalow with its signature blue-tile roof is a bit of a South Bay favorite! This home takes advantage of ocean views, offers plenty of coveted outdoor space and a rare ADU for flexible living space. Built in 1928, but highly updated throughout, there is so much to be discovered! The gated entryway immediately welcomes you to a private, sunken courtyard on one side, then steps up to a secondary ocean view deck! The property also offers a large backyard which is perfect for year-round entertaining. A raised redwood deck with built-in bench seating and an overhead trellis is a perfect retreat to cozy-up and enjoy a glass of wine after dining outdoors on the large, Spanish tile paved patio area. A bonus Accessory Dwelling Unit is allowed on the property due to the setback, and this one is beautifully updated! With a cozy living/sleeping area, a colorful kitchenette, and a 3/4 bath with clawfoot tub, this is a perfect get-away for guests or a home office! The home itself offers 2 bedrooms, each with custom California Closets closet organizers, and a recently updated bath finished in the now-popular “wet room” style. The kitchen has renewed counter-tops and backsplash which accent the craftsmanship of the original cabinetry. The eye certainly catches many other early-California era artisan touches, all of which add unique character. Just minutes from the beach, this is a rare find! (SF doesn't include ADU)
