It’s less than 20 miles south of LAX, but arriving at Terranea feels like crossing into a different world—one spread over 102 vivid acres of California coastline.

The stately Spanish-style home, constructed in the 1920s, telegraphs the elegance of that time period. 233 Marguerita Avenue is tucked into a serene pocket just to the south of the boulevard and west of 4th Street, on a wide quiet street that looks straight out across the water.

Originally completed in 1972, 1 Wagon Lane is also a home that’s been significantly overhauled, starting in 2005 until today, with careful attention paid to keeping its original design fingerprint intact.

At the intersection of the Strand and the 18th Street walk street—perhaps the most charming street of its kind in a town that’s known for them—colorful landscaping, colonnaded stone stairs leading to the beach, and an imposing three-story home complete the picturesque scene.

The sparkling four-mile stretch of the Strand that snakes along the coast of the Pacific Ocean through the Beach Cities is a natural setting to envision building one’s dream home. At least it was for the entrepreneur who purchased 732 The Strand and set about building a bespoke beach home for him and his family.

Here is a property beyond your wildest dreams, commanding gorgeous ocean views from its perch on a private bluff just above Paradise Cove. Behind its elegant front gates, this address hides an oasis of serenity. Sprawling over 2.5 lush acres, it easily rivals the world’s finest five-star resorts.

Spanning approximately 5,150 square feet, 3301 The Strand projects a glossy yet reserved profile, thanks to a horizontal silhouette that’s been sited across two single lots—a wonderful bonus that’s seldom available on the Strand.

Head south along The Strand, from the Hermosa Beach Pier towards Redondo Beach, and you’ll notice a shift in scenery: The sand flattens into a broad, easy-to-navigate stretch of beachfront.

Designed as a place for family and guests to gather comfortably at the beach, the architectural home at 2415 Manhattan Avenue has also been keenly crafted with forward-thinking elements to distinguish it from other well-heeled area homes.

Sleepy Hollow is a mellow neighborhood in Hermosa Beach—a quiet, under-the-radar pocket of about 7 blocks, tucked west of Valley Drive and south of leafy and spacious Valley Park. Old-growth California trees and friendly families populate the area, and casual neighborhood get-togethers are common.

The myth of Southern California thrives on dreams filled with water and warmed by the sun, drenched in luxury, and characterized by ease. In these fantasies, each new day begins with a vision of the sun-sparkled sea, a scenic beach vista is the backdrop to a drive into town, and shaking off the cares of the day is as simple as grabbing a surfboard and heading out to catch a few waves before dinner.

The scene is particularly vivid at 317 Rocky Point where privacy reigns and a fresh, graceful home—approximately 3,800 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 3 and 1/2 bathrooms—has been designed to keep you immersed in its vision from morning until after dark.
