Another Client Success Story for the Record Books!
When the sellers of 110 N. Juanita Ave in Redondo Beach reached out to us about representing the sale of their beautifully remodeled 99-year-old home, we knew we had the opportunity to showcase something truly special.
The Home’s History: From Palm Springs to South Redondo Beach
This home has a storied past. Originally built in Palm Springs, it was relocated to South Redondo Beach in the 1980s, where it has stood ever since. In 2014, our clients purchased the bungalow—then a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home spanning just over 1,300 square feet—for $789,000. From there, they embarked on an extraordinary transformation, turning it into a modern yet historically respectful masterpiece.
The Transformation
The remodel was a labor of love, with every detail thoughtfully considered:
- Expanded Living Space: The second bedroom was reconfigured, adding a full bath with permitted square footage to enhance the layout.
- Modernized Interior: Everything was updated, from wiring to roofing, walls, doors, fixtures, and hardware. A dramatic ceiling pop-up in the main living area brought in abundant natural light, making the space feel open and inviting.
- Outdoor Spaces: The elevated front yard, with its retaining wall and private access from French doors, became a serene outdoor retreat. Two additional yard spaces were designed for entertaining—one featuring a firepit conversation area and the other perfect for al fresco dining.
- Bonus Space: The garage was repurposed into a guest-friendly bonus area, adding even more versatility to the property.

The Results Speak for Themselves
With 140 people attending the open houses during the first weekend and 9 offers received in just four days, the home ultimately sold for an astonishing $230,000 above the asking price.
What Made This Home So Special?
Several factors contributed to this remarkable outcome:
- Thoughtful Design: The sellers optimized every square foot of the home.
- Prime Location: Situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood, the home is just ½ mile from the beach and nestled between two award-winning schools, all within walking distance.
- Sought-After Features: With minimal stairs, a single-level layout, and fully remodeled “move-in ready” condition, it appealed to downsizers and busy buyers alike.
- Perfect Pricing Strategy: Understanding the difference between a listing price and a marketing price—and trusting the process—allowed the sellers to achieve top dollar. The marketing price: $1,595,000. The result: $1,825,000
