Welcome to one of Playa Del Rey's best-kept secrets, a charming coastal retreat nestled in the coveted Northwest coastal bluff neighborhood. Just minutes from the beach, scenic bike paths, and the area's top-rated restaurants, this beachside gem blends charm, comfort, and unmatched potential. Sitting on a generous 6,000 sq ft mostly flat lot, the expansive backyard invites endless possibilities: design a show-stopping entertainer's yard or expand the home to fit your lifestyle. Whether you're envisioning a 3-bed/2-bath layout, a full 4/2 expansion, or an ADU addition under SB9 (plans previously submitted), this property is a canvas for your vision. The garage includes a bonus space that could be transformed into a wine cellar, home office, guest suite, or creative studio. The current home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, central AC and heat, a spacious deck, mature trees, and a peaceful coastal vibe. Best of all, the home is in livable condition and qualifies for traditional financing. This isn't just a place to live in, it's a place to grow, create, and build. Whether you're a first-time buyer walking into instant equity, a savvy investor seeking long-term upside, or a developer eyeing a high-potential project, this opportunity checks every box. Perfectly situated near Loyola Marymount University (LMU), Whole Foods, LAX, gyms, and Playa Del Rey's renowned dining and shopping options, this property offers the ideal combination of beachside tranquility and urban convenience. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of Playa Del Rey's lowest-priced single-family homes west of the 405. Under $1.4M near the coast? You won't find another like it.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
