252 Roswell Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90803

About this single-family home

Welcome to 252 Roswell Avenue- a true GEM, built in 1921! Inspired by Greene & Greene's iconic Culbertson House, this masterfully restored Craftsman blends timeless Arts & Crafts tradition with thoughtful modern updates, staying true to architectural integrity throughout. The home showcases period details including an oversized quarter-sawn Tiger Oak front door, quarter-sawn white oak floors throughout (lush/luxury carpet in primary), exquisite original moldings and doors, and an original Bachelder tile fireplace, adorned with floral rosettes. A rare, glazed Ludowici tile roof crowns the residence, while custom ironwork, with curated color palettes (newly painted exterior), and lush landscaping enhancing the curb appeal. The primary suite & ensuite have heated flooring in the changing/closet area, as well as the over-sized, spa-like bathroom.Two ensuite bedrooms provide endless possibilities. The restoration prioritized preservation, yet seamlessly incorporated today's comforts: dual-glazed period-correct wood sash windows and French doors, recessed lighting, central heat and air (four zones), and a complete rewire with 200-amp service, including EV charging station. The chef's kiss kitchen features custom white oak Shaker cabinetry, upscale stainless appliances, including new Kitchen Aid Double-oven, wine & beverage cooler, faucets, and disposal. A center island with sink, and an eat-at-bar. The family room impresses with a soaring coffered ceiling, tiled fireplace (mimicking the Bachelder), and entry to a spacious patio & garden- filled with Native plantings & mature citrus fruit trees. An oversized garage with 24" built-in storage cabinetry completes this rare offering- one of the most refined & beautifully executed Craftsman homes ever available in Belmont Heights! A must see!
