1103 2nd St

Oh my WOW...You just can't build a new "100+ year old vintage cottage", and there aren't many left. This one is right out of central casting with cuteness overload starting at the ocean view front yard and continuing up the steps and into the ocean view entry/ sun porch/ office, completely flooded with light. Stop right there to dream, write a script, have your morning coffee, and return for sunset cocktails. You'll want to stay right there, but come inside, you just have to see it all! The spacious living/family room for hanging out or TV watching, is complete with plenty of windows, a storage closet, and gorgeous flooring that extends throughout. Onto the galley kitchen with vintage cabinetry and tile countertops, and space for eating. There's a main floor bedroom with sunny windows facing the back yard, a nice step-in closet, and right next to the ground floor bathroom with tub/shower and old school tile. Open the door just outside the bathroom and walk up the "secret staircase" to the dreamy second bedroom, with lots of floor and closet space. Come back downstairs, there's more. Just beyond the kitchen there's an awesome laundry area which also houses the nearly new water heater. Step out to the back porch and patio to the lush yard. Lots of grassy area and plenty of patio area for parties, BBQ's, gardening and more. The private/gated back yard is perfect for dogs of all sizes with the convenience of leaving the back door open. Let's talk about the "garage". Back in the day Model T's might have been able to roll up the skinny "driveway" and into the garage. Those days are long gone but the garage structure remains, and is now a great space for storage or hobbies. All of this is located on a quiet one-way west bound street in the coveted Hermosa Hills, within blocks or a mile to shopping, restaurants (Poulet Du Jour, Michelin star breakfast burritos and meals at Barans and more), award winning schools, and of course the beach. Use it for year 'round living, weekends at the beach or whatever you can imagine."I don't want a vintage beach cottage" said no one ever! Come see it now, you'll be glad you did!
