Property Description

This classic 1917 Bungalow is in the heart of Historic Bluff Heights. It's an extremely rare find – and the first time in over 90 years this home has been offered for sale outside the family. It has many of the original Craftsman features including lots of built-ins in the dining room, kitchen, hallway and closets. The focal point of the dining room is the original buffet/china cabinet. The spacious front porch and swing provide a welcome feeling as you approach the home. You enter the home through an extra wide custom oak, leaded-glass front door. The 1,151 sq. ft. of living space includes a generous living room, formal dining room, family/sun room, two bedrooms, one bathroom and an inside laundry room. The spacious living room flows into a formal dining room that can accommodate large groups of people. Large picture windows with beautiful wood casings bring in lots of natural light. Craftsman style door casings, hardwood floors and tall baseboards bring turn of the century charm throughout most of the home. The bathroom with tub shower, tiled walls and built-in storage add even more classic charm. Both bedrooms have hardwood flooring and the front bedroom has a large walk-in closet which includes a built-in dresser and the room is painted in a relaxing soft green, custom color. The back bedroom also has a walk-in closet, a bench seat alcove, craftsman wood trim and shaker style doors. The bedroom's interior is painted with a soft yellow, custom color. The kitchen, laundry room and family/sun room all take in views of the back yard. Sellers are also including free standing range, refrigerator, microwave, washer and dryer. In the back yard you'll find 2 orange trees, a Meyer lemon and a lime tree. The oversized 7,502 sq. ft. lot, zoned R2 (LBR2A) offers tremendous potential for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), workshop, garden, or RV parking. There is an oversized one car garage and an extra-long driveway for lots of additional off-street parking. The back yard has a swinging gate which provides access to a back alley. This Historic District neighborhood location offers a tremendous lifestyle opportunity – you’re a short distance from the beach, the city-circling bike path, Broadway, Long Beach Harbor, Retro Row, and all the restaurants and shops on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. The owners installed a new composition roof in March 2019 and had the home and garage's exterior painted May/June 2021. Termite work has been completed with certification.
