Property Description

This picture-perfect California Craftsman is the epitome of classic Rose Park architecture with a hip and modern vibe! A picket-fence enclosed front yard with drought-tolerant native landscaping welcomes you and a sprawling front porch with a built-in bench swing invokes feelings of nostalgia and leisure. Perfectly curated period correct exterior paint not only honors the traditions of the architecture style, but was selected with guidance from the City of Long Beach for potential Mills Act approval. Gorgeous, open, floor plan with wonderful natural light, original hardwood floors and a seamless flow from the living room to the traditional Craftsman dining room, complete with original built-in cabinetry, original wood trim and stained leaded glass windows. The impeccably remodeled bathroom with original hexagon floor tiles, new white subway tile, new glass shower enclosure and black vanity with gold-toned accent hardware pays homage to original details and color schemes of the era while providing storage and modern comfort and convenience. Fabulous sun room off the rear of the house is a wonderful use of outdoor turned indoor space and can be used as a family room, den, or potentially, is a perfect starting point for an additional bedroom and bathroom to be added to the home. Pass-through laundry room has incredible storage and a cleverly spacious home office nook. The spacious and private backyard is perfect for entertaining or relaxing and enjoying our beautiful SoCal weather. Overhead misters cool off your guests on warm summer days and the gravel square and concrete pavers near the rear of the yard provides a lovely spot for an outdoor lounge area. The generous two car garage with additional parking behind and to the side of the garage, all secured behind an automatic gate, is one of the most coveted features of this delightful home in an area where convenient parking is priceless.
