Nestled atop the prestigious Hill section of Hermosa Beach, this contemporary, ocean-view retreat was designed for grand-scale entertaining, yet throughout its 6,400 square feet of living space, nuanced architectural moments create spaces for intimate gatherings or private, quiet reflection.
Featuring architecture by Bruce Norelius, the home was designed with modern, open-plan living spaces enriched by classic elements from California’s Spanish Colonial roots, such as curved archways and fireplaces, wooden doors, painted tile work and a terracotta tiled roof. A grand entry with soaring ceilings leads to the main living area, complete with formal dining room, living room, gourmet kitchen and fully equipped, chef’s kitchen.
A blend of materials and textures warms and enlivens the interiors, which include wood-beamed ceilings, stone accent walls, custom tile work and highly curated selection of fit and finishes. Expansive walls of glass frame far-reaching ocean views and create seamless segues to outdoor living and entertaining spaces. Nestled beside the zero-edge pool is a glass-enclosed dining pavilion with fireplace, bi-folding doors that open to the sea air, and a wine cellar below with storage for up to 1,000 bottles. Multiple, uniquely designed lounging and dining spaces are situated throughout the home, offering endless spaces for gathering and unwinding, both indoors and out.
The main house features four spacious bedrooms, an office, bar and second wine cellar with storage for 1,500 bottles. The detached guest quarters feature a full kitchen and bath with private terrace overlooking the pool and ocean beyond. Among the modern, high-tech home features is a garage with lift system allowing for parking of up to five cars. Envisioned for enjoying the quintessential Southern California lifestyle, the home is an entertainer’s dream, nestled mere blocks from the beach.
