647 s irena avenue

Some streets simply feel different—and South Irena Avenue is one of them. Set on a generous 6,010-square-foot lot along one of South Redondo Beach’s most distinctive tree-lined streets, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,022 square feet today and an exceptional opportunity for tomorrow. Unlike the typical grid-pattern neighborhood, Irena gently curves through a collection of beautifully developed homes, giving the 600 block a sense of character, consistency, and established charm that is increasingly difficult to find. Because the street isn’t a convenient cut-through to anywhere else, traffic is refreshingly limited—mostly to the neighbors lucky enough to call it home. The existing residence has classic curb appeal, with a white picket fence, mature shade tree, and plenty of potential to become a charming coastal cottage. Give it a thoughtful refresh and enjoy it while future plans take shape—or start imagining what could come next. Because the real headline here is the lot. For a developer or homeowner dreaming of creating something entirely their own, this is the canvas. Build a modern coastal showpiece, a timeless custom residence, or the South Redondo dream home currently living rent-free on your inspiration board. With much of the surrounding block already thoughtfully developed, the setting—and the precedent—are firmly in place. The location makes the opportunity even more compelling. You’re just a short distance from the beach, Riviera Village’s restaurants, shops, and neighborhood favorites, along with parks, schools, and everything that makes this pocket of the South Bay so beloved. For perspective, 615 S. Irena Avenue, located on a similarly sized lot, sold for $2,040,000 before being replaced with a newly built home. Offered at $1,895,000, 647 S. Irena presents a rare chance to secure your place on one of South Redondo’s truly special blocks. Keep the charming cottage, give it a glow-up, or bring in the plans and start fresh. Opportunities like this don’t come around often—and streets like this are exactly why.
