Homes we love – 605 Esplanade – Oceanfront Charmer

By Keith Kyle

As realtors are people to we have our biases and preferences like everyone else.  I’m partial to beach bungalows that capture that original charm of our wonderful coastal community.  Many of these homes have been torn down with mini mansions replacing them and that’s the unfortunate reality of land value being so unbelievable.

**This home has sold** Visit our Esplanade and Redondo Beach oceanfront homes site to see current oceanfront homes for sale.

One of my favorite stretches of homes is a block of the Esplanade, Redondo Beach’s oceanfront address.  The majority of the homes along this street are larger condo complexes or townhomes but a few, original single family homes still exist.  605 Esplanade is one of them and evokes thoughts of idyllic Cape Cod living.  Sitting on the bluff, this home offers stunning oceanfront views with crashing waves and dazzling sunsets.  Unlike homes on The Strand in Manhattan and Hermosa Beach, what this home offers is space and an actual yard.  It certainly could use some cosmetic updates but we hope that someone will embrace the coastal charm and make this their oceanfront dream house.  Contact us for a private showing.

February 2014 Home Sales in Redondo Beach and the South Bay

By Keith Kyle

With inventory remaining low throughout most of the South Bay, the volume of sales continued to be lower than normal, but certainly not due to a lack of demand. Prices continued to rise with multiple offers on many appropriately priced homes and days on market remaining very low. Click on any city below to see the homes sales and prices for February 2014

Is $1.0M the New Price Point For New Construction Townhomes?

By Keith Kyle

With prices rising rapidly in North Redondo Beach, the bar has now apparently been set for new construction 2 on a lot townhomes.  With the recent sales of all 4 units at 2016 and 2018 Gates, all priced at $999,000 the pricing for new construction 4 bedroom townhomes appears to be something unheard of in the past for this neighborhood.  The homes are certainly well done with high end finishes, square footage between 2400 and 2500 square feet, and each having small yards but the general consensus is that hitting the $1.0M price is a very big number for North Redondo townhomes.  Known in the area as “2 on a lot” townhomes they feel more like single family homes than townhomes.  They are completely detached, have direct garage access and private yards.   The property is shared among the 2 owners that comprise of the HOA.  In most cases the agreement between owners is pretty informal and often only insurance and landscaping are shared costs.  Contact us for information on these wonderful alternatives to single family homes or fill in our free listing update form to receive new listings daily.  See below for all of the 2013/14 sales of these 2 on a lot new construction townhomes.

Ocean views from the Village in Redondo Beach

Rare Oceanview 2 Bedrooms in The Village in South Redondo Beach

By Keith KyleOceanview balconies at The Village

**Update**both of these condos have been sold.**

It’s not often that a 2 bedroom condo comes along in The Village in Redondo Beach.  Located just behind the Redondo Beach pier, the Village condos are located in the 600 – 660 The Village buildings (they are actually on Catalina but we’ll save that explanation for another day.)  The units with big views offer true vacation living with dazzling sunsets, views of the boats coming in and out of King Harbor and the sounds of waves hitting the shore.

The reason that it’s so rare to see two bedroom condos is that they are only located on the fronts of each building.  In addition to the fact that there are just so few of them, they are even more rare on the market as many buyers keep them as rental units once they outgrow the condo or just decided condo living isn’t for them.

Since 2010 there have only been 3 of these rare units available which is what makes it pretty astounding to see two units currently for sale at the same time.   This is even more unbelievable given the lack of home inventory throughout both Redondo Beach and the South Bay.  The first condo is located at 630 The Village #116 and is priced at $579,000.  The second unit with larger views and more updates is located at 610 The Village #116 and priced at $699,000.  Both units were built in 1974 and have 938 square feet, 2 pools, fitness center and direct access to walk to the pier and beach.  Ahh….vacation living is good.

Ocean and coastline views on Paseo De La Playa

New Oceanfront Home Listing in the Hollywood Riviera

By Keith Kyle

If panoramic ocean views, the sounds of crashing waves, and spectacular sunsets are your idea of paradise,  the new listing at 605 Paseo De La Playa may just be the perfect fit for those prices out of the beachfront homes of The Strand in nearby Hermosa and Manhattan Beach.  Paseo De La Playa is arguably Redondo’s most impressive and prestigious streets with some of the only oceanfront lots and homes in the area.   The land for 605 Paseo De La Playa is on a land lease (all of the homes were at one point but many leases have been bought out) with an option to buyout in 2016.  The lots for all Paseo De La Playa homes extend all of the way down to the sand of Torrance Beach below.
