You want to be near the ocean—not just in theory, but in real life. You want breeze, light, and a little blue on the horizon. But you also want something with character that’s move-in ready, with an ocean view. Enter 2718 S. Averill. Tucked away on an ideal hidden street in Coastal San Pedro, this two-story home delivers original California charm, thoughtful space, and an ocean view from the upper level—all in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from the coast. The main level welcomes you with a formal living room, brick fireplace, and a sunny bay window that captures the light and warmth of the day. Vintage hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas, connecting the open entertaining spaces. The farm-style kitchen features custom “Martha Stewart” finished rustic-style cabinetry, including elegant glass-panel doors, and a breakfast bar that opens to the dining room—perfect for morning coffee, weeknight dinners that don’t feel rushed, or for informal entertaining. Step right from the kitchen into a fenced backyard, where mature landscaping and quiet privacy offer space to unwind and gather. There’s room for gardening, entertaining large parties, dining al fresco, or dreaming up your future ADU (buyer to verify). Upstairs, the surprise bonus that sets this home apart: a second living space with a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a view of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Whether it becomes your creative studio, lounge, or workspace, this room has that rare top-of-the-hill clarity—both in light and in feeling. Downstairs includes three bedrooms with ceiling fans, a full bath and a 3/4 bath. One is a private primary suite, it's own bath and peaceful energy. Minutes from Point Fermin, Paseo del Mar, and the upcoming West Harbor development.
