With sweeping ocean views, this masterfully curated Mid-Century Revival home in the coveted Sunset Palisades of Shell Beach, blends original architecture and elevated design. Thoughtfully renovated over the last decade, every element of this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has been curated for beauty, comfort, and lasting quality.

Step through dramatic 12-foot double doors into a light-filled 2,245 sq ft interior where mid-century design meets sophistication with rift sawn white oak floors, custom grain-matched cabinetry, and clear-cut Cedar and Douglas Fir millwork. Original mitered glass windows frame the coastal horizon from the living space, dining area, and the outdoor terrace.

In the living and den areas, bespoke TV lift cabinetry and walnut-veneered built-ins underscore the fusion of aesthetics and technology. The kitchen is a designer’s dream — select white oak grain-matched cabinets, Bosch, JennAir, and Sub-Zero appliances, Wa-kei Waiko Japanese tile, Kesseböhmer cabinetry systems, and a skylight with a custom 3form panel that floods the space with ambient light.

The primary suite is a sanctuary of serenity showcasing a private balcony with beautiful ocean views, Caseta by Lutron lighting, floating cabinetry in the ensuite with a poured concrete countertop and Hansgrohe fixtures. The secondary suite and guest spaces continue the design language with walnut touches, honed limestone, and subtle under-cabinet lighting. The third bedroom, currently used as an office, features custom cabinetry with Rev-A-Lock file drawers and Formica doors.

There is a seamless dialogue between indoors and out, surrounded by mature landscaping, including two producing Haas avocado trees, and curated outdoor lighting. The backyard space is where artistry meets livability with specialty concrete terraces, Lynx BBQ and bar, outdoor fireplace, and 1960s Peill & Putzler copper-and-glass pendant lamps — rare vintage treasures suspended above the scene.

Modern comfort extends behind the scenes with Trane HVAC, Mitsubishi mini-split systems, concealed up-down Legrande lighting, and Baldwin Lifetime coastal hardware engineered for endurance.

Green spaces and ocean front parks are easily walkable from this unique property — a rare opportunity and investment in a coveted neighborhood. 130 Hermosa Drive embodies the intersection of timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and unparalleled views — let it be yours.
