349 Hermosa Ave, Long Beach, CA 90802

Property Description

Essentially new construction, the front house is a refreshingly modern take on the classic California bungalow. With two bedrooms and one and one-half bathrooms in approximately 914 sq ft, the rebuild included stem walls, framing, new copper plumbing, electrical wiring and 200 amp panel with space for EV charger. While the footprint of the house remains unchanged, the interior space was completely re-imagined to create an open, light-filled great room with a modern kitchen featuring custom European oak cabinetry and quartz countertops. The all new appliances, fixtures and finishes were selected for longevity and timeless design qualities. Further details of the renovation include a new HVAC system, new Milgard windows, new roof with rain gutter systems, and a thoughtful lighting plan inside and out. The back building consists of the garage and studio apartment on the ground level, and a two bedroom, one bath unit of approximately 736 sq ft on the upper level. The back units have been carefully renovated with modernized kitchens and bathrooms, laminate floors above, luxury vinyl floors in the studio, and new lighting as well as the all-important functional upgrades of copper and PEX plumbing, re-wired electrical systems with grounded outlets, and air-conditioning. All three dwellings on this exceptional property enjoy their own washer and dryer within their respective units as well as individual, on-demand (tankless) water heaters. The quality of design extends to the outdoors with a refreshed front fence and gate, landscaping with irrigation, and concrete work wrapping from the driveway to the center courtyard. And just steps from the tranquil beauty of the property is the thriving district of 4th Street and Retro Row. Enjoy morning coffee at Wide Eyes Open Palms, juice from Salud, creative cuisine from a number of independent restaurants, vintage shopping, salons and boutiques. To the south, only a few blocks away lies the Pacific Ocean and shoreline path along miles of sandy beach. Watersports, bike riding, skating and yoga are among the many outdoor activities that characterize this flourishing urban community. Everything about this three-unit property is ready for living in the most stylish and carefree manner you could imagine. Whether you are considering owner-occupied, long-term rentals, or hosting on Airbnb, you will rest easy knowing that all units have been thoroughly renovated within the past 2 years.
