Historic craftsman home in Redondo Beach

Consider this house as an exploration of arts and crafts and art nouveau living from the turn of the last century. While only a ten minute walk to the Redondo Beach ocean front, the two story craftsman is a historic 1912 residence know for being the home of a once famous American author, Louis Dodge. The upstairs bedroom has a balcony with a direct ocean view. The downstairs has an art nouveau suite, an original arts and crafts living room, and a front room with British arts and crafts furnishings from Liberty of London. The dining area includes an original Stickley dining table and the original furnishings of highly collected designers from 1900 to 1920. The light fixtures are likewise original. Only the kitchen dares to be more modern, with original and refurbished 1950s General Electirc refrigerator, Okeef and Merrit stove, and Hamilton Beech products. This peaceful retreat features two bathrooms, one equipped with a modern shower and the other with a claw foot historic bathtub. Guests will appreciate the cozy heating system from two gas powered fireplaces, one with Batchelder tiles. The small sideyard and back yard areas have a fountain, a bird bath and mature tress for shade and privacy. While in the heart of a beachside community, area is however quiet and at night you often hear the seals baying by the pier. This is a home for personal reflection and relaxation and is only offered for the true devotee of historic design.
