Just Sold: 2708 Spreckels Lane Redondo Beach
I just represented the Buyers of 2708 Spreckels Ln, a recently remodeled (ok it was a flip) SFR in the “El Nido” neighborhood of Redondo Beach. Before I get into the details of the house, let’s answer the question ……
What is El Nido?
El Nido is a neighborhood of primarily Single Family Homes in the South East quadrant of North Redondo Beach 90278. It is located south of Ripley Ave down to the border with Torrance at 190th St and on both sides of Inglewood Ave. The Western border is the intersection of Ripley and 190th. Any further West and you are into the Redondo Beach Golden Hills.
In the MLS, El Nido is Area 153. Of the 4 major neighborhoods in the MLS, El Nido typically has the fewest sales. Many of the properties sit on 5000-7500 Sq Ft lots and it is not unusual to find homes larger than 3000 Sq ft such as this one I sold at 2610 183rd St.
The easternmost part of this neighborhood, located on the other side of the train tracks and El Nido park (hence the name) is actually located in the city of Torrance with a Redondo Beach address. Huh? By located in the city of Torrance what is being referred to is that the schools and services are Torrance but the mailing address is Redondo Beach. Similar to what we see in the Hollywood Riviera. When I sold 836 Calle De Arboles in the Riviera, that was also actually Torrance.
My personal opinion is that the El Nido neighborhood is well positioned for appreciation if the Galleria Mall remodel / renovation ever happens. But that remains to be seen.
ABOUT 2708 SPRECKELS LN
Recently remodeled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on a great street within minutes of everything in the South Bay.
Over the years, a family room with plenty of natural light from the south facing backyard was added to the house. The original rather small living room is still found up front so this home has 2 living areas in addition to the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The flipper fully remodeled the kitchen and it is equipped with new stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, and trendy finishes.
Other features include a large mudroom fit for a washer and dryer, fully updated bathrooms, a new 200 AMP electrical panel, recessed lighting throughout, nest thermostat, ring doorbell, new floors, new furnace, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a long driveway that leads to a large detached 2 car garage. The house is also wired for cameras and cat 6 cable for high speed internet.
The original list price was $1,499,999 and my clients were able to get it for $1,545,000 which these days is kind of a deal for a 1561 Sq Ft house (with a finished detached garage) on a 5586 Sq ft lot.
