Property Description
Bathed in natural light and cooled by coastal breezes, this south-facing home offers a relaxed beach-close lifestyle just blocks from the shoreline, cafés, restaurants, vintage shops, and neighborhood events that make this one of Long Beach's most vibrant communities.
Inside, the home showcases the craftsmanship that defines the era—original hardwood floors, rich woodwork, crown moldings, classic built-ins, and preserved architectural details rarely found intact today—paired with a flowing layout connecting the living room, formal dining area, and upgraded chef's kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living.
The kitchen combines warmth and functionality with custom cabinetry, authentic handmade Mexican Saltillo tilework, luxury GE Monogram appliances, and a professional high-BTU cooking system.
Beyond aesthetics, the property has benefited from substantial infrastructure and energy-efficiency improvements rarely seen in homes of this age, including a cool roof system, blown-in insulation in exterior walls and attic spaces, Mitsubishi Energy Star mini-split HVAC, plumbing and electrical improvements, and a hardwired 240V EV charger—thoughtfully completed to improve comfort, efficiency, and long-term livability.
The private backyard retreat features mature bamboo privacy landscaping, a Buddha fountain, Meyer lemon, mandarin, and passion fruit trees, along with expansive patio space designed for quiet mornings and indoor-outdoor entertaining alike.
The property also offers generous off-street parking with a detached garage and tandem driveway parking for up to five vehicles—an uncommon advantage in this highly desirable coastal neighborhood.
To support buyer transparency and confidence, the property has been pre-appraised, pre-inspected, and a termite inspection has been completed, with reports available in supplements for buyer review.
