Imagine waking up just blocks from the beach, where fresh ocean breezes drift through the neighborhood. Step into this 1914 Craftsman infused with warmth and character — a place where love, laughter, and unforgettable meals are shared with family and friends. Inside, timeless details meet modern convenience: original crown moldings, rich wood floors, and a chef’s kitchen with professional GE Monogram appliances. High-BTU burners and double ovens inspire culinary creativity, whether preparing intimate dinners or hosting lively gatherings that fill the home with joy.
Outdoors, your private sanctuary awaits. Bamboo frames the yard with natural privacy, a Buddha fountain offers a calming backdrop for yoga or meditation, and fruit trees — Meyer lemon, mandarin, and passion fruit — invite you to harvest fresh ingredients for meals or cocktails. As twilight falls, string lights cast a golden glow across the garden, where you can savor wine, conversation, and tranquility in your own retreat. Tandem parking for up to five cars adds rare practicality in this sought-after neighborhood.
Within five blocks you’ll find the ocean, grocery stores, dispensaries, and countless neighborhood conveniences. This is not a cookie-cutter community — it’s authentic Long Beach, where historic homes, multi-family units, and local businesses coexist in a vibrant, eclectic fabric. It’s a lifestyle for those who value culture, walkability, and affordability.
Beyond your doorstep lies Retro Row, celebrated for its diversity, creativity, and authenticity. More than 40 independent shops and restaurants line this lively district — vintage boutiques, mid-century furniture stores, cozy coffee shops, wine bars, and family-owned eateries. Highlights include Michelin-starred dining at Heritage, James Beard–recognized Gusto Bread (voted one of the best bakeries in the U.S.), the Long Beach LGBTQ+ Center, the beloved Lola’s Mexican Cuisine, and countless hidden gems.
Modern upgrades make life effortless: insulation in all exterior walls and attic, a radiant barrier, and a three-year-old Cool Roof with a 30-year transferable warranty, providing year-round comfort and lower energy use. Additional updates include a mini-split in the upstairs bedroom and a 240V ChargePoint EV charger. Pre-appraised at $1,539,000 (report available in Supplements), this home blends preserved historic character with thoughtful modern improvements.
