Commandingly perched on an oversized corner lot just steps from the beach and boasting sweeping, sand, wave & horizon views, 2160 Monterey Blvd is a true Hermosa Beach icon that can never be replicated. Envisioned by noted architect Earl Heitschmidt (designer of the original CBS Studios building, Biltmore Hotel and William Wrigley Estate), this modernist private resort features 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 3 levels of dramatic, light-filled living space. Built for effortless entertaining, the home’s open-concept main level artfully combines a large living space with fireplace, terrace, airy dining area and sleek chef’s kitchen with stainless appliances… all sharing breathtaking ocean views. Rounding out the main level are 2 guest bedrooms. Ascending the light-flooded, atrium-lined central staircase brings you to the owner’s escape. Here, a spacious bedroom, private office, custom walk-in closet and spa-like, skylit bathroom with twin sinks, double-headed shower and sumptuous soaking tub create an intoxicating ambiance framed by jaw-dropping ocean vistas. The best location for spotting waves, however, is either this level’s massive terrace with fire pit and custom designed, motorized retractable awnings… or the home’s crown: a rooftop terrace with 360° views. Descending to the home’s first floor is a revelation. Here, a spacious family/game/entertainment room opens to a breathtaking backyard, almost unheard of in the sand section: intensely private, bursting with mature tropical landscaping and wrapping dramatically around the home, this secluded zen-like space offers a cedar hot tub, fire pit, water features, BBQ, outdoor shower and built-in seating. Back inside, a spa bathroom features a sauna, and beyond lies a 480 SF sleeping/living quarters, kitchen, walk-in closet, full bathroom, and separate entrance. A clever sliding/locking wall allows the space to be locked off for independent living or fully integrated into the home. Surrounding the oversized corner lot is an adjacent 1,360 SF of city-owned land, which is fully integrated into the property with a rare sand section landscape of succulents and fruit trees, long cultivated by the Huntington Museum’s bonsai legend Ben Oki. Current setback/height limits ensure that nothing like this home can ever be built again. This one-of-a-kind architectural icon could still be your personal coastal estate, but the opportunity will disappear forever if you don’t act soon.

Welcome to 1836 The Strand, an exceptional beachfront 5-unit property located in highly sought-after North Hermosa Beach. Very rarely does one encounter an opportunity to acquire a “to the studs” fully remodeled property spanning 3,908 sq.ft., 11 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, under $9M on this prime stretch of The Strand. Fully renovated from top to bottom, this property showcases meticulous attention to detail, including all visible elements, plumbing, electrical and more. Grandfathered beyond current building restrictions, this property stands taller and wider than what is now permitted for new construction, offering uniquely breathtaking ocean views from four of the five units. Wake up to the soothing rhythm of the waves and panoramic ocean views stretching from Malibu to Catalina Island. Unmatched in its prime location, 1836 The Strand provides the epitome of the Southern California beachfront lifestyle, ideally located between the Pier with its vibrant restaurants, shops, and cafes, and 22nd Street with iconic Martha’s Cafe and the Bottle Inn. This remarkable income property offers excellent investment potential, offered under $2M per unit—well below Hermosa Strand condo values, and generating a gross scheduled income of $425,196. For context, the neighboring 3,750 sq. ft. home on a 2,410 sq. ft. lot sold for $14.25M, highlighting the exceptional value of this offering. Options abound… Retain the penthouse as your private beachfront retreat, offer guest accommodations for family and friends, and maximize rental income from the remaining units. This beachfront gem ranks with a high score of 84 on WalkScore.com, and offers easy access to renowned schools, freeways, and numerous local destinations like LAX, Santa Monica and downtown LA. 1836 The Strand is a one-of-a-kind property that rarely graces the market. Its versatility, stunning views, and unmatched location make it an irresistible opportunity for discerning buyers, investors, or those seeking a luxurious family beach compound. For investors looking to expand their Strand portfolio, additional off-market properties may be available as part of a larger acquisition. Inquire for details, and don’t miss this chance to own a piece of the coveted Strand lifestyle.

Inside, the open-concept living space features approx 14-ft soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and newly refinished Brazilian cherry wood floors—each plank a unique work of art. A large terrace expands the living space, while the chef’s kitchen centers around a 9.5-ft custom Acacia Koa wood island with built-in pop-up TV, Sub-Zero fridge, Viking 6-burner range, wine fridge, walk-in pantry, and breakfast bar seating for six.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature ensuite baths, ocean views, and smart audio integration. The primary suite includes a custom-built-in platform bed, daybed nook, private ocean-view terrace, dual vanity bath with rainfall shower, ceiling-fill Acacia Koa soaking tub, and walk-in closet.

Additional highlights include a wine cellar, laundry room, and a rare Sand Section yard with wraparound seating, grass lawn, water feature, and sunset-view pebble patio. The home includes a recently replaced roof, A/C, dual tankless water heaters, Nuvo filtration system, Tesla charger, and a 3-car garage with deep-bay storage and built-in shelving.

Have you always dreamed of building a home (or second home) on The Strand, only to watch prices drift higher and higher? Well, here is the opportunity to experience oceanfront living just a comfortable walk from the Pier and downtown, at a price that may surprise you. Imagine watching Pro Volleyball from your balcony, as you sip your favorite beverage- watching sailboats and surfers, dolphins and more, at sunset in the orange glow of days’ end. And on a balmy autumn afternoon, whitewater washing the shore in the final glint of daylight as you stare one more time looking for the green flash of the sun as it dips below the horizon. God ain’t making any more ocean front property here. The existing structure is a 1913 dwelling with 4 bedrooms. This is in the 30 foot height area of The Strand, making for three floors on grade, and better top floor views, as well as a roof deck! This location, just north of the Pier, is ideal due to the walkability to restaurants. Yet, still far enough away to stay quiet at night. It’s a unique life at the beach, and you deserve it!
