Marty McSorley, erstwhile gladiator of the NHL’s frozen battlefields, has ushered his bespoke Hermosa Beach sanctuary onto the market. This abode, a melding of modernist charm and Craftsman touch, stands sentinel at the ocean’s edge. Offered for $20.7 million, its stony countenance and timbered soul whisper tales of the hearth and heart. Within the 4,373 square feet, stone and wood conspire to evoke a warm embrace, as a quintet of bedrooms and quartet of bathrooms invite repose and reflection.
This haven, known to the enlightened few as ‘Valhalla,’ unfolds across a pair of civic plots. Its facade boasts a stately 60 feet of sandy dominion, challenging the neighboring empyrean estates of Manhattan Beach. Valhalla’s virtues lie not only in its proximity to Neptune’s realm but in the solace offered by the absence of looming structures to mar the dawning sun’s caress or the diurnal cycle’s clement dance.
Beyond the ambience artfully unspoiled by boardwalk lanterns, Valhalla entices with possibilities infinite; its canvas ready for the dreams of the next blessed custodian. Be it a refuge within the bustling province of Manhattan Beach or a hermitage upon which the tides of possibility lap gently, Valhalla stands peerless.
