2240 Hermosa Avenue

A dynamic Modernist home with an immersive oceanview experience in prime North Hermosa Beach. Designed by award-winning architect Michael Lee and constructed by fine Beach Cities home builder Kim Komick, this bold 4-story residence has striking beach and water vistas from nearly every floor, with abundant glass walls and sculpted terraces. It’s approximately 4,431 s.f., with 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, including a penthouse primary suite with a fireplace and showroom closet, where you wake to horizon views and ocean air, and relax on a sprawling terrace with an outdoor spa and private lounge. Views are forever, due to an unblocked address across from 23rd St walk street, where you head out for spontaneous swim and surf sessions. At 2240 Hermosa Avenue, the neighborhood is roomy and residential, yet Pier Avenue dining and shopping is an easy 10-min stroll, and Downtown Manhattan Beach is just a 5-min bike ride along the Strand. In the sunny interior, oceanview living spaces abound. Dine over color-burst Pacific Ocean sunsets and a flickering fireplace in the glossy designer kitchen, dressed in luxury NEFF cabinets and PureLine appliances by Miele. Entertain in the open-air oceanview living room with a sleek wine wall, cut-out glass ceiling and adjoining terrace. Gather for movies in an elevated family room with blue-water views, or host beachside bashes in the crisp white beach room with a butler’s kitchen and private deck. Spaces flow easily and elegantly, from a sun-graced grand foyer with French oak floors and a floating staircase, to tucked-away designer bedroom suites with moody lighting and a hyper-minimalist vibe. Line and scale have all been superbly arranged by the architect, a Modernist leader in beach design, to fuse a constant connection to sand and sea, and provide a dramatic perch to enjoy this superb slice of Southern California coastline.
