Property Description

Perched above one of Upper Hermosa's top streets, this charming bungalow delivers treetop vistas and horizon ocean views from a setting that feels worlds away, yet is anything but remote. This original two-bedroom, one-bathroom home sits above an oversized two-car garage, offering a canvas ready for a bold remodel, reimagining, or expansion to capture every inch of the view potential this elevated lot has to offer. The steep rear slope is where opportunity lives: a blank slate for the right vision, and a rare one at that. Here, privacy, ocean views, and serious upside potential come together in a way few properties can match at this price point, all just minutes from the shops, restaurants, beaches, and vibrant coastal energy of Bird Rock Village. This is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often.
