The Composition

Two volumes, one address. A 1952 ranch, a cedar vertical. The architecture does the speaking.

The Residence

Built to live well, steps from the sand.

A welcoming entry opens into warm finishes and a confidently modern aesthetic. The main volume holds three bedrooms, a reworked kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, and an expansive family room with direct access to the rear patio. Two additional bedrooms upstairs make flexible room for family, guests, or a home office.

The architectural intervention by Frank Glynn introduces a cedar-clad vertical volume that plays against the original low-slung ranch. Wide sliding doors and clerestory windows pull ocean light through every room. Storage is deliberate and abundant: built-in closets, pantry volumes, and considered cabinetry throughout.

Outside, a fenced backyard and wood deck form the entertaining heart of the property. Mature hedging, a hot tub enclosure, and a quiet concrete patio frame the indoor-outdoor living the architects hoped for. Award-winning El Segundo schools, downtown coffee and pickleball, and the Strand are all within walking distance.

Neighborhood

El Segundo,
as it lives.

A pocket of the South Bay that still feels like a real town. Main Street is two blocks of coffee, breweries, and a lumber yard. The Strand, Dockweiler, and the El Segundo beach path are a short walk west.

El Segundo Unified is one of the top-performing districts in the state. Richmond Street Elementary, El Segundo Middle, and El Segundo High are all within a few blocks of Hillcrest.

The property sits at the northern edge of the residential grid, near Acacia Park, pickleball and tennis courts, and the Plunge.
