Two Homes in Redondo Beach

In North Redondo Beach, one lot holds two detached houses — and the quiet that comes with it.

The word duplex usually means a wall. Somebody's television on the other side of it, somebody's footsteps at an hour you'd rather not hear them. This property skips that arrangement. Two separate houses stand on one large lot in North Redondo Beach, with air between them, on a block that faces a park.

Each house has two bedrooms, one bath, a single-car garage, and driveway space for more cars. Each has its own front door and its own outdoor space. Neighbors don't hear each other through the plaster, because there is no shared plaster.

The outside part

The grounds are fully landscaped with a sprinkler system and vinyl fencing throughout. The rear house sits behind its own gate with a private yard — coffee outside in the morning, a grill going in the evening, room for a dog and a hammock.

Across the street, the park does the work a second yard would. Children ride there. Runners start there. It is the kind of block where people walk in the evening

Two ways to live here

For an owner-user, this is a beach city home with a tenant helping carry the payment. Or a second house for a relative or a long-term renter, with real separation between households instead of a shared entry and a thin wall.

For an investor, it is two standalone single-family rentals in one purchase, each with a private entrance, private laundry, and a garage. Those are the features that keep good tenants in place and rents firm.

The updating is finished. The yards are already planted. What's left is the good part — two freestanding houses on one lot, each with its own front door, and a park across the street to share.

El Nido Park

Your Yard Just Got Better Than You Dreamed

El Nido Park is a wide stretch of green along Kingsdale Avenue, shaded by mature trees. Mornings belong to runners and dog walkers. By afternoon, the ball field is usually in use; there's a game going on the basketball court, and someone has a grill fired up near the tables. Younger kids have the playground to themselves, and the dirt RC track draws drivers of every age who spend hours running their cars over the jumps and berms. There's enough room that no one has to compete for it, which is how a quick stop turns into a whole Saturday.
