Quintessential California Bungalow nestled in prime Belmont Heights neighborhood close to Colorado Lagoon, this 1923 home checks all the boxes for anyone looking for a well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded historic home near the best things Long Beach has to offer. Beautifully landscaped front yard was professionally designed to compliment the house and provide privacy, while attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. The classic Craftsman tapered columns and low-pitch gabled roof frame the large front porch, welcoming you to your California dream home. Bungalow charm is felt throughout the home from the original wood and beveled glass front door to the leaded “wavy” glass front windows, to the recently refinished hardwood floors, to the base & crown moldings to the arched doorways to the refurbished built-in china cabinet. Meanwhile an airy and updated kitchen with marble-topped island, farmhouse sink, gorgeous Black walnut countertops, marble open shelves, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and inside laundry provides all the modern comforts. The vintage O’Keefe & Merritt stove is beautifully set against stately white subway tile with a Vent-a-Hood custom hood made to match. The compact washer and ventless dryer are tastefully tucked away under more Black walnut counters and built-in pantry cabinets. This home also features a large dining room with 6 large double-hung windows - all the windows in the home have been professionally restored - that allow you to look out on and feel like you are actually in the enchanting back yard. The back door, styled to match the front door, leads to this sweetest back garden where you will look forward to losing yourself in the quiet and cool enchanted covered garden year round. Front and back yards feature in-ground drip irrigation systems for easy maintenance. More contemporary comforts include central AC and heat, with brand new AC unit, and updated electrical. The charming bedrooms both feature original wood frame double-hung windows with stately wood trim and new light fixtures. The bathroom has been updated in vintage style with white subway tiles and contrasting back tile trim and ceramic hex floor tiles. Claw foot tub, in-tub chrome shower fixtures, pedestal sink, and vintage light fixtures will transport you to another time while creating a luxury bath experience. All updates have been made to respect the integrity and charm of a 1920s California Bungalow. If you are a lover of historic homes, this one is for you!
