An absolutely captivating 2 bedroom 1 bathroom Spanish style home, refinished oak hardwood flooring, new roof (incl. 25 year warranty), newer double pane windows, ageless old world craftsmanship & character, decorative sconces and lighting effects...tucked away in The Circle Area in Long Beach only minutes from freeways, shopping, restaurants and the Southern California coast. Arched passage through a flowering arbor provides a warm welcome. The sun-filled living room features a lovely garden view, a classic tray ceiling and a decorative Normandy style fireplace flanked by graciously arched display niches. The dining room is enchanting, enjoying direct access to the tastefully renovated kitchen, a pantry plus a glass footed laundry. Storage is amazing. The remodeled bathroom is stunning and centrally located between entertaining and the nicely proportioned bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom is quietly situated above it all. The attached garage is a huge plus ... as is the tranquil rear court. Truly a rare gem ... and a wonderful lifestyle opportunity.
