1929 Oceanfront Tudor Gem in San Pedro
3 bed/2 bath 2,051 sqft.
$1,699,900
Less than 100 steps from your front door, and you're standing at the ocean bluff, listening to the waves crash below while taking in up-close views of the Pacific Ocean & Catalina Island. This is everyday life at this one-of-a-kind 1920s Tudor-style gem perched atop a prized bluff in the desirable Pt Fermin area. Blending vintage charm with modern upgrades, this home retains its original arched windows that perfectly frame ocean vistas and the lush greenery of the park. Inside, you’ll find a sunlit living room with a cozy fireplace and elegant barrel ceilings, flowing seamlessly into a formal dining room made for hosting. The kitchen is a showstopper—completely remodeled with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, breakfast bar, and high end appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, a bright breakfast nook with built-in cabinetry offers panoramic views that make your morning coffee even better. A wide hallway leads to three spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a full bath and a walk-in closet complete with built-in vanity. The hall bath mirrors the quality with custom tilework and upscale fixtures. An added bonus is the spacious "laundry room" that also can be utilized as a home work space, craft room or walk-in pantry. Throughout the home, wide plank wood laminate flooring adds warmth and continuity. Outside, the fully fenced lot is beautifully landscaped front to back and maintained by an automatic irrigation system. The oversized two-car garage features a finished interior, and the home’s systems have been thoughtfully upgraded: tankless water heater, newer roof and rain gutters, updated plumbing and electrical, plus a security system for peace of mind. The unique location has to be experienced in person to be truly appreciated. Imagine being steps from the ocean bluff, yet tucked away at the end of a quiet street with no through traffic. With Pt. Fermin Park—an iconic San Pedro destination hosting events like Concerts By The Sea and home to the historic Pt Fermin Lighthouse—right outside your door, it’s like having a scenic retreat as your extended front yard. Walk to the Korean Friendship Bell, explore the trails of White Point Nature Preserve, hit the beach at Cabrillo or Royal Palms, or catch windsurfing action at Hurricane Gulch. Local dining favorites like the Lighthouse Cafe, Pacific Diner, and The Corner Store are also just a short stroll away. Come see for yourself what a special property this truly is.
