As you cruise along the greenbelt turning onto 25th Street, the ocean breeze picks up and life slows down. This original mid-century modern home is an architectural and beach-lover’s sanctuary, tucked away on an expansive lot with large picture windows showcasing the private, grassy back yard and gardens. The open concept living-dining-kitchen is surrounded by views of nature with green vistas and rays of sunshine, like the architect knew all the right places to let the light in yet provide enough shelter at the hottest times of day. The side patio is spacious, allowing for dining and lounging, just awaiting your first BBQ. The bedrooms all benefit from newer windows and vaulted ceilings. The primary bedroom is accompanied by an en suite bath. You feel the home’s original character and true quality of construction with the vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and beachy-sheen, narrow-plank hardwood floors throughout. Imagination is the only limiting factor for potential bonus space with the detached (yet attached?) two car garage. Your health restores with the layers of tropical blossoming plantings lining the property: banana trees, giant bird of paradise, ginger and plumeria pants. The location has that perfect combination of tranquility and proximity: dead-end street, blocks to the beach, Valley Park and all the hot spots on Pier Avenue. The kids can walk to any of the Hermosa schools or Mira Costa High School. Come experience this coveted, low-key North Hermosa single family home you haven’t seen before and won’t be able to forget.
