This is a rare opportunity to build your dream home on a 53.72' x 100' ocean view lot! 670 Gould Ave already offers amazing ocean views from the existing single-level home, but the property's true potential lies in creating a custom residence or residences with un-obstructable panoramic views stretching from Catalina Island to Malibu, taking full advantage of its prime hilltop location.

The existing 1,595 sqft single level home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Additionally, there’s a permitted sunroom/den, offering flexible living space with gorgeous ocean views, that opens directly into the fenced, very private and peaceful backyard. The home is in great condition and move-in ready, with recent upgrades including a new roof, beautifully refinished original red oak hardwood floors, newly painted interior and exterior, a newer garage door, brand-new carpet in the primary bedroom and sunroom, and newer dual paned double-hung windows. The 2-car garage features a dedicated laundry area and abundant storage space.

While the home is perfectly comfortable to live in as-is or while you plan your vision, the true value lies in building new construction. The lot offers expansive un-obstructable 180-degree ocean views (stretching from Catalina Island to Malibu) from a potential 2-3 story build. With the recently passed SB9 law, one could build two new primary units or maintain the lot as-is for a 2-3 story full ocean-view single-family residence with a rooftop deck and the option for an ADU, providing valuable flexibility for future development.

Centrally located between Manhattan and Hermosa Beach downtown areas, this property is literally just steps from Hermosa's 6-acre Valley Park and the scenic and leisurely 3.9-mile Hermosa Valley Greenbelt. You're just a 1/2 mile to one of Southern California’s most iconic and picturesque sandy beaches and just blocks from award-winning Hermosa Valley and Hermosa Vista Elementary Schools and Mira Costa High School. Plus, you are just a short stroll away to downtown Hermosa and Manhattan Beach for dining, shopping, and recreation. This home is just 6 miles from LAX and 9 miles from SoFi stadium. Commuting is extremely convenient with easy access to PCH and nearby essential amenities such as Lazy Acres, Vons, Starbucks, and CVS, along with banks, places of worship, and the post office within blocks. This beach home offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience in a vibrant community.

Offering one of the most competitive prices west of PCH for an un-blockable ocean-view lot of this scale, this property is a remarkable find. Sold as-is, it’s an outstanding opportunity to capitalize on a prime piece of Southbay real estate.
