701 8th St, Hermosa Beach, CA

The images of many places come to mind with this beauty: Polynesia with its prominent palm tree and tiki-syle wood decorated entranceway, New York with its slender living room leading to the kitchen and bedrooms to the side, New England with its wind-protected balcony that actually collects a few leaves from the surrounding trees in the fall. But that sweeping view of the nearby Pacific from the large living room window is pure California. This two-level house is also much more than it appears at first glance ??? It's a Legal Duplex! There???s a full 3-bedroom, 1 bath (fully-remodeled) unit upstairs with hardwood floors, new paint and carpet, as well as a 2-bed/ 1-bath downstairs. A separate entrance makes the latter an ideal extra-income opportunity as a rental. There???s ample off-street parking for 4-cars, 2 in the spacious garage and 2 in the driveway. The beach is within easy reach, just five blocks, as are the shopping, dining and nightlife Hermosa offers its fortunate residents.
