About This Home
As of October 2025Experience timeless Spanish Colonial charm at 245 Covina Ave in Long Beach, where architectural character meets modern comfort. This beautifully restored Belmont Shore home invites you to relax under the shade of the olive tree in the private, landscaped front patio—an extension of your living space with multiple seating areas perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Inside, white oak wide-plank flooring, barrel ceilings, and abundant natural light create a warm, elevated ambiance. Arched entryways lead to a formal dining room and a chef’s kitchen featuring Shaker cabinetry, soapstone counters, a matching island, Fisher & Paykel paneled refrigerator, Jenn-Air cooktop, tall wine fridge, farm sink with brass Waterstone faucet, and full pantry. Both bedrooms offer generous closets with built-ins, and the beautifully appointed bath showcases quartz and Spanish tile accents. Additional highlights include a finished garage/office with A/C, extra parking, tankless water heater, central HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, and custom blinds throughout. Located just moments from 2nd Street, Marine Stadium, the beach, and Naples Island, 245 Covina Ave captures the essence of coastal living in the heart of Belmont Shore.
