719 24th Place Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

Although this rustic jewel could be considered the perfect artist's getaway, the value of the property resides in the incredible views of the ocean, peninsula, and valley, and the full 4,100 square foot lot. Built in 1948 as a one-story home, it was expanded to a second story studio used extensively by a noted local artist, Jack McClain. It is easy to imagine the inspiration drawn from the expansive views and quiet setting he must have experienced. It is also easy to envision your own home built from the ground up taking in these same views and enjoying the closeness to all the amenities Hermosa Beach has to offer, including the running trail at the bottom of the street, the beach a few blocks away, and the shops and restaurants on Pier Avenue. The structure, built of slump stone and beamed ceilings, has a wonderful "beach feel" with its inviting front patio, enclosed & heated back patio room, rounded breakfast nook, two-sided fireplace and awesome studio. Whether you view it as a tear-down or an escape from the ordinary, this property is a winner!
