Charming Beach Cottage with Endless Potential | Steps from the Sand. This classic coastal cottage captures the charm of old Long Beach with the promise of incredible upside potential. Nestled on one of the city's most desirable blocks, 28 Hermosa offers a rare chance to own a single-family home this close to the ocean-something truly hard to find at this price point. Step inside to a bright, inviting living area featuring original hardwood floors, timeless white walls, and plenty of natural light. The spacious kitchen offers granite countertops and generous prep space, perfect for gathering with friends before a walk to the shoreline or nearby dining spots. With two bedrooms, one bath, and a flexible den or office, this home adapts easily for work-from-home living or a weekend getaway. Outside, the home was newly painted in 2024 and the hardscaped private patio creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening dinners, or summer BBQs under the coastal breeze. A detached two-car garage provides convenience and storage-ideal for surfboards, bikes, and beach gear. Situated between the vibrant energy of 2nd Street and the waterfront fun of Shoreline Village, this location delivers the best of coastal living: boutique shopping, popular restaurants, and sandy strolls just moments from your door. While comfortably livable today, 28 Hermosa is a blank canvas for the savvy buyer or investor ready to add modern upgrades and instant value. Whether you envision a personal beach retreat, a stylish rental, or a long-term investment in one of Long Beach's most coveted neighborhoods, this property is your opportunity to make it happen. Even better: 28 Hermosa sits directly beside 36 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. Don't miss this rare beachside find-where timeless charm meets incredible opportunity.
