Property Description

Located in Long Beach's highly desired Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood- a rarely seen Clifton Jones Jr. designed single story modernist garden home. Known as Cerritos Circle, the architect's distinguished tract of mid-century modern post and beam style homes were developed in the early 1960s on land that once served as pasture and training facilities for the family's thoroughbred racehorses. With just one shared wall, an expansive open plan layout, and lofty 10' high ceilings- the property shares more similarity with a custom single family residence than it does with a townhome. Floor to ceiling sliding doors and glass walls face both an entry courtyard in the front and separate fenced patio/garden area at the back, creating a seamless connection between interior living area and private outdoor spaces. Its east facing courtyard and family room are bathed in morning light, with the west facing living/dining area and back patio sunlit in the afternoon. An extraordinary contemporary kitchen workspace operates as the home's central hub, featuring Bosch appliances, true white nano glass countertops, and European custom made cabinetry. Epoxy topped concrete flooring travels throughout, with two spacious bedrooms each having their own beautifully updated en-suite bathrooms with walk in showers. Recent updates include roofing, copper plumbing, electrical wiring, ev outlet, water heater, motorized shades, and stackable interior laundry. Includes an attached private garage with a patio facing glass wall that could be reconfigured as an office/studio space. Well situated in an area known for its tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, adjacent Dominguez Gap Wetlands, and an incredibly quiet, peaceful atmosphere. A vast array of options for shopping, restaurants, and breweries are all in close proximity (Sushi Nikkei, Nonna Mercato, Ambitious Ales, Taboon, Hiro Nori, Sala, Trader Joe's and many more). Centrally located with easy freeway access for commutes to both Los Angeles and Orange County, and less than 1.5 miles from a metro station. Offers due Monday July 29th.
