Property Description

Welcome to the Crown Imperial #7, a spacious, light filled Mid-Century McKenzie built condo in the heart of Bluff Park with low HOA dues! Located only 1 block to the ocean and steps to Bixby Park for the Farmer’s Markets, it is also walking distance to yoga on the Bluff, local shops and restaurants. McKenzie built several Mid-Century modern complexes in Long Beach, usually with Tiki/Hawaiian letters on the building name, field stone panels on the building, stair railings with geometric patterns, and Googie style light fixtures throughout as you will see on the Crown Imperial. This large 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo is located on the second floor, with its own balcony that faces west. The large living room has recessed lights and large sliding doors that open to the balcony. There are original refinished oak hardwood floors throughout. There is also a separate dining area with a ceiling fan that could be sectioned off for an office space. The condo has many of the original built-ins still in place, including bookcases, storage drawers, dressers and tons of closet space. The kitchen features the original Mid-century tile counters, tile floors, a butcher block, and plenty of cabinet storage. It has newer stainless appliances: the cooktop, dishwasher, oven, and fridge. There are pocket doors on the kitchen entrances, so it can be closed off. The bedroom is 12’ x 15’ and is large enough to fit exercise equipment and a desk. The closets span an entire 15 foot wall of the bedroom, with a built in dresser in one. The bedroom also has a ceiling fan and crown moldings. The full bathroom features a glass enclosed shower and tub, a pedestal sink, Kohler toilet, and room for storage cabinets. The condo has central heating. This condo comes with a private garage that can fit a small SUV. There is a free laundry room for the residents. HOA dues include water and trash. The McKenzie built complex also features a lush tropical courtyard, and controlled gated access.
