JUST SOLD: 1720 Prospect Ave Hermosa Beach
1720 Prospect Ave —
Where Hermosa Beach
Feels Like Home
Finding the right home isn't just about the square footage or the finishes — it's about walking through a door and feeling like you've arrived somewhere. That's exactly what happened the first time my clients stepped into 1720 Prospect Avenue. I had the privilege of representing the buyers on this transaction, and I'll be honest: it was the kind of home that made my job easy. A stunning Craftsman townhouse with panoramic ocean views, a gourmet kitchen made for gathering, and a deck that makes every evening feel like a vacation. I'm so proud to share that this one is officially closed, and my clients couldn't be happier.

Built for the Way You Actually Want to Live
There's a particular kind of home that doesn't need to try very hard. 1720 Prospect is that home. Completed in 2016 and thoughtfully designed throughout, it has the bones of something newer and the warmth of somewhere you actually want to spend time. The open floor plan flows naturally, punctuated by wood ceiling beams that give the space genuine character — not the kind that comes from a renovation trend, but the kind that comes from someone caring deeply about how a room feels.
The top-level kitchen is a proper one — a six-burner range, an oversized island with quartz countertops, custom self-closing cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a wall of sliding glass doors that opens the whole space to the ocean. On a clear morning, you can have your coffee and watch the water from where you're standing at the stove. That's not a small thing.
A Primary Suite That Earns the Name
The word "retreat" gets used a lot in real estate, but the primary suite here actually lives up to it. Bi-folding doors open to a private balcony — the kind you'll actually use, not just photograph. Inside, the ensuite bath has a soaking tub, a dual-head shower, double vanity, and a walk-in closet that gives you room to breathe. It's the sort of space that makes the morning routine feel less like a routine.
Beyond the primary, the home has a private guest suite, a dedicated family room, a laundry room, and — quietly impressive — an elevator and space roughed in for a wine cellar. The gated backyard gives you a private outdoor area on top of everything else. This is a home designed for a full life, not just a good photo.
Hermosa Beach, Properly Located
I work with clients all across Los Angeles, and Hermosa Beach occupies a genuinely special place in the South Bay. It has the laid-back beach energy without feeling remote — you're minutes from the sand, a short drive to LAX, and close to everything the Beach Cities have to offer without the traffic that comes with living further inland.
Prospect Avenue in particular sits in a sweet spot: quiet enough to feel like a neighborhood, connected enough that you're never far from what you need. For families, the Hermosa Beach school district adds another layer of appeal.

On Representing Buyers in a Market Like This
Helping buyers find the right home is a different kind of work than selling one — it's about really listening. Not just to what someone says they want in a home, but to what lights them up when they walk through a door. With my clients at 1720 Prospect, the moment we stepped onto that top level and they saw the ocean through those glass doors, I knew. We worked quickly, advocated hard, and got them into the home they deserved.
If you're thinking about buying somewhere in Los Angeles — whether you have a neighborhood in mind or you're still figuring that out — I'd love to talk. The search process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Let's make it feel like it's supposed to: exciting.
