Property Description
Behind its charming Craftsman façade, the main home welcomes you with exposed wood beams, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious dining room ideal for entertaining. Original details like a decorative mural and warm period character provide the perfect foundation for a thoughtful restoration or modernization. Fresh exterior paint (2024) and interior paint (2025), along with upgraded plumbing (2024) and electrical systems (2025), offer a head start for future improvements.
Legally configured as three units, the property's adaptable layout is brimming with potential. The main home is currently enjoyed as one large residence but can easily be repurposed into two distinct units—each with its own kitchen and separate access—while a third stand-alone rear unit adds even more flexibility for rental income, extended family, or guest use.
Outside, a private brick-paved patio creates a peaceful escape for morning coffee or relaxed outdoor gatherings, and the detached garage provides convenient parking and storage for surfboards, bikes, and all your beach essentials.
Even better: 36 Hermosa sits directly beside 28 Hermosa Avenue, which is also available for purchase. Buy one or both to create a remarkable side-by-side beach compound, multi-generational retreat, or investment portfolio in the heart of coastal Long Beach.
36 Hermosa is a true diamond in the rough—offering investors, renovators, or owner-occupants a chance to create something truly special. With its rare multi-unit zoning, upgraded systems, and unbeatable location just steps from the sand, this is where historic charm meets modern opportunity on the coast of Long Beach.
