And then there were 4 – New Listings on the Ocean Front Street of Paseo De La Playa

In this market with very low inventory and many homes selling the minute that they hit the market, it’s very unusual to see 4 homes for sale on the most sought after street in the Hollywood Riviera.

The 4 homes for sale sit on the oceanfront street of Paseo De La Playa, just above Torrance Beach.  Many residents know the street as it offers great views and is a favorite of cyclists heading up to Palos Verdes.  2 of the homes, the palatial gated estate located at 433 Paseo De La Playa, and 617 Paseo De La Playa are on the west side of the street meaning unblocked and unblockable views of the ocean, Palos Verdes, and the coastline all the way to Malibu.  The primary reason they are still available is the pricetag with the sellers asking $16,000,000 for the home at 433 and the the home at 617 listed for $4,495,000 which is considerably higher than the most recent sales of similar homes.

The remaining 2 homes are fairly new to the market as of January 6th.  Both sit on the east side of the street so they offer minimal coastline views but are still ideally located with a short walk or bike ride to the beach and the Riviera Village.  The home at 630 Paseo De La Playa is a rather pricey $1,888,888 for 1325 square feet and minimal views.  It’s market as a potential site for a 2 story dream home but as the home is in the Torrance hillside overlay area that might be a very tall task.  The home for sale at 528 Paseo De La Playa is a bit more appropriately priced with almost 1800 square feet.

Two Big Oceanfront Home Sales in the Hollywood Riviera on Paseo De La Playa

By Keith KyleSouth Redondo homes

Monthly home sales median prices can often be skewed by a few big numbers and October will certainly reflect that with two homes selling on the oceanfront street of Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera.

The first sale was located at 406 Paseo De La Playa which is actually the non ocean front side of the street, but due to it’ location there are no homes on thewest side of the street and most of the ocean views are unblocked and panoramic.  The home was a very nice contemporary/modern design with large windows to allow for floor to ceiling views.  With 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths the home sold for a sizable $3.380,000 which is a number not generally seen on the east side of the street.

Property Type Single Family Home
Price:   $3,380,000 
Price Per Sqft:   $946.78 
Square Feet 3570
Lot Size   6725 sq ft
Bedrooms:   4 
Baths:  3.5

The second home was located oceanfront at 605 Paseo De La Playa and sold for a sizable $4,300,000.  The home was a very original condition 1962 built home and for all intents and purposes this was a lot sale which sets a new price point for lot value in this highly sought after strip of land.  The homes on this side of the
street have enormous lots over 20,000 feet but much of the land is a fairly unusable cliff/bluff.  They were originally on leased land but many of the homeowners have bought out the lease at one point or another.   One of the appealing aspects of this home was that it had a trail leading down to the beach and water which is fairly unique and almost impossible to do these days due to stringent restrictions by the California Coastal Commission.

There is currently two additional oceanfront home on the market and actively for sale.   The first is  located at 617 Paseo De La Playa, Redondo Beach CA 90277.  As with most of the homes along Paseo, it’s been updated but still somewhat original.  Offering unbelievable views this will certainly be someone’s coastal dream house.

The second home is a palatial estate offering 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, over 7000 feet of living space on an almost 26,000 foot oceanfront lot.   The home is located at 433 Paseo De La Playa.

417 Paseo De La Playa Redondo Beach

617 Paseo De La Playa. From FSBO to New Oceanfront Listing in Redondo

**This post was from 2014 and this home is no longer available**

Located on the bluff in the charming neighborhood of Hollywood Riviera, the new listing at 617 Paseo De La Playa has a view and location that may be second to none.  With fantastic coastline views from Palos Verdes to Malibu, the home sits on a huge lot that extends all the way to the sands of Torrance Beach.  The home itself has been updated throughout the years but still has a fairly original feel.  The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths at 3100+ square feet.  From the moment you enter the home you’re absolutely struck by the views.  The home came on the market at a fairly hefty $4,495,000 which would be the new high in the area.  Formerly a FSBO priced at $4,350,000 the home didn’t sell which wasn’t a surprise given that homes rarely sell as for sale by owner properties.  Contact us or call/text at 310-251-2344 for more information.
