Description

Built in 1922, this Spanish home is full of charm and character. Thoughtfully renovated over time as the owner's personal residence, every improvement reflects a genuine appreciation for the home's original architecture while creating comfortable, functional spaces for everyday living. Step inside to a light-filled living room showcasing original built-in cabinetry, rich hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and energy-efficient mini-split heating and air conditioning. The remodeled kitchen features butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, open shelving, stainless steel appliances, and a professional-style six-burner range with matching hood, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Oversized windows frame vibrant bougainvillea just beyond the sink, bringing natural light and color into the heart of the home. The primary bedroom offers a flexible bonus area ideal for a home office, reading nook, or creative space. The remodeled bathroom features a subway tile walk-in shower with a built-in bench, frameless glass enclosure, tile flooring, and a classic pedestal sink. The gated front entry creates a private outdoor space perfect for sipping your morning coffee or relaxing with a good book. The backyard extends your living space outdoors beneath the shade of a mature tree. Wrapped in custom galvanized steel fencing, it offers privacy, character, and a one-of-a-kind backdrop for outdoor living. Just imagine a canopy of twinkle lights overhead, and the setting becomes pure magic. The home recently underwent extensive improvements, including fresh interior and exterior paint, recessed lighting, and a newly tiled front porch, creating a move-in-ready home while preserving its original charm and character. Located just a couple of blocks from the energy of Retro Row, you'll enjoy neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and local favorites. The beach is just one mile away, with Belmont Shore and Shoreline Village close by, making it easy to enjoy some of Long Beach's best coastal destinations. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated Spanish home that blends historic charm, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable Long Beach lifestyle.
