Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There are some places where you step inside and you just feel instantly at home. Like walking through the doors of this beautiful home in Long Beach. Perhaps it’s the spirit of Southern California or the peaceful neighbourhood atmosphere, but there’s something about this space that makes it easy to relax. From cooking in the kitchen to curling up with a book in the bedroom, this home has been thoughtfully designed to inspire a sense of comfort. But it’s also filled with charm and character – there are unique touches throughout the space. You’ll love taking long soaks in the vintage bathtub or spending evenings sipping drinks on the patio. Families and groups of friends will love this area. Days can be spent shopping and dining in Bixby knolls – just a three–minute drive, or down at Shoreline Village and Junipero Beach, a thirteen–minute drive. Art lovers won’t want to miss the contemporary works on display at the Museum of Latin American Art – an eight–minute drive away. As the sunsets across the oceanfront, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to light up the grill on the patio and share a special evening in true California style.
