About This Home
As of October 2025Nestled in the heart of Los Cerritos, this beautifully maintained property offers a rare blend of charm, functionality, and flexibility—with two separate dwellings on an expansive 9,583 square foot lot.
Whether you're looking for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, rental income, or simply room to grow, this home provides an exceptional opportunity in one of Long Beach’s most treasured neighborhoods.
The main residence features 1,744 square feet of thoughtfully designed space with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with two generous living rooms, a formal dining room with bay window views, a dedicated home office, and a generously sized pantry. The kitchen is warm and welcoming with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and tile countertops—perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The updated main bathroom offers a dual-sink vanity, quartz countertops, and a timeless aesthetic that complements the home’s inviting atmosphere. Laundry conveniently located in the main bathroom.
Modern upgrades include central heating and air conditioning, dual-pane windows, a tankless water heater, and sleek remote-controlled Heat & Glo gas fireplace inserts in both living rooms.
The roof was replaced in 2021 and solar panels have been added for energy efficiency as well as all new energy efficient dual pane windows. Electrical has been updated to support EV charging in the garage. In 2020, the entire gas system was re-piped with seismic shut off added for safety. Fully PAID OFF solar.
Outside, the fully fenced yard is a private oasis with mature landscaping, a covered patio for outdoor dining or relaxing, and a detached extended two-car garage.
At the rear of the property, a detached 400 square foot studio ADU offers open-concept living with its own entrance and covered carport. Whether used as a guest suite, home office, or income-producing rental, this flexible space adds meaningful value to an already outstanding home.
Located on a picturesque, tree-lined street just minutes from parks, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and the Virginia Country Club, this turnkey property delivers the lifestyle, space, and setting you've been waiting for.
