1237 s gertruda

Welcome to 1237 S Gertruda—set on one of South Redondo’s iconic “Ladies Streets,” where kids roam freely, neighbors actually know each other, and from May through September the block turns into an open-air living room for monthly wine nights. This is the kind of street people dream of living on. Just a short stroll to Tulita Elementary, the beach, and the shops and restaurants of the Riviera, the home blends coastal living with family-friendly comfort. Inside, two inviting gathering spaces make everyday life feel easy: a sunny front living room with a wood-burning fireplace for cozy mornings, and a laid-back family room that opens straight to the backyard. Out back, built-in seating encircles a gas fire pit—an instant setting for storytelling, s’mores, or summer nights that run later than planned. The kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with a center island, KitchenAid appliances, wine fridge, and a coffee station that practically guarantees a smoother start to the day. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own private deck and gas fireplace—a little slice of calm where you can sneak away with a book or watch the sunset dip behind the palms. An electric gate along the side of the property leads to a driveway and detached garage, creating a private, compound-like feel that’s rare in this part of town. And that garage? It’s a blank canvas—perfect for a studio, office, extra hangout space, or the teen hideaway every parent secretly hopes for. Practical perks include a tankless water heater (2025), and Tesla-leased solar panels that help reduce monthly energy costs. All of it sits west of Prospect, in one of South Redondo’s most loved pockets—walkable, welcoming, and full of the little everyday moments that make a house truly feel like home.
