by

Although it took a while the oceanfront home in the Hollywood Riviera at 505 Paseo De La Playa closed escrow during May and ended upHollywood Riviera selling for $5,175,000.

With a home like this you’re definitely paying for location as it’s a fairly original home but the location just can’t be beat.  The last sale of something fairly similar was 529 Paseo De La Playa which was a 4 bed, 3 bath single family home with a bit under 3200 feet that sold at $5,650,000.

505 Paseo De La Playa offers the same specs with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and the same 3,179 square feet.  The lot on 505 is a bit larger and extends all the way to the beach, but the home at 529 had done significant work to the bluff at a pretty significan expense.

Historic Clifford Reid House Hits the Market Once Again in the Hollywood Riviera

by

124 Via Monte Doro, Redondo Beach CA

We’ve posted about this home in the past but the price at the time kept it from selling and now it’s back in a very unusual and rare “auction”. This historic house has now been relisted and looks incredible.  The historic Clifford Reid house at 124 Via Monte Doro  is a truly remarkable home evoking the earliest days of this great neighborhood and it embodies the glamour of “Hollywood” at the time which was partially responsible for the name of the area itself.  It was built in 1928 by Clifford Reid, the visionary developer of the Hollywood Rivera.  After a trip to the Italian Riviera he felt that this area of the South Bay had a similar look and feel and he envisioned an area with the surrounding beauty of the riviera with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. 

The first house built was his personal residence and showpiece which is now known as the Clifford Reid house.    The home sits on a 22,000 foot lot making for a spacious estate with incredible outdoor areas.  Over the years it was lovingly restored and masterfully recreated combining old world craftsmanship with todays modern features. The home features 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooomd and over 6,700 square feet of living space.

Torrance Oceanfront Home at 529 Paseo De La Playa Sells for $5,650,000

by

While the homes in the Hollywood Riviera have a Redondo Beach mailing address they’re actually residing in the city of Torrance….which means Torrance has beachfront homes (and a beach….but that’s another topic)

One notable sale was the oceanfront home located at 529 Paseo De La Playa. This oceanfront “project” home just closed escrow at $5,650,000 and has all the makings of a real legacy type property.  It’s likely to get a major overhaul but it’s a special property for sure.

The two story single family home  was a very clean but still fairly original with popcorn ceiling, wood paneling and more.  It had clearly been well maintained and had a great, and fairly rare flat yard overlooking the ocean and they had recently done a major project to shore up the hill and had created a trail to the beach which is no small task and approval from the California Coastal Commission can take years and years if approved at all.

Luxury Location in the Hollywood Riviera

by

425 Paseo De La Playa Redondo Beach CA

Torrance is one of the more diverse cities in the South Bay when it comes to housing options. Some of the least expensive homes can be found in Torrance as well as some of the most expensive. The highest prices are almost always found along the beachfront street known as Paseo De La Playa. 425 Paseo De La Playa has a Redondo mailing address but is actually serviced by the city of Torrance. While it’s hard to imagine a home can be a bit of a project at $12,000,000 the eventual buyer is likely to spend a healthy amount truly making this one of the more spectacular homes in the South Bay.

425 Paseo De La Playa is one of those rare legacy type homes.  Perched on the bluffs above Torrance Beach, the home offers incredible and unblockable ocean views.  The 28,000+ sq foot lot is unheard of in the South Bay and as with all of the homes along the west side of Paseo, the lots extend all the way to the beach, but this home has an enormous amount of land in front of the home as well.  The gated entry and true estate feel make for endless possibilities.While this home is in need of some updating to truly make it a legacy home, the basics are all here.
