About This Home
As of October 2025Step into a world of refined elegance and luxurious California living with this extraordinary 1926 Spanish-style home with peek-a-boo ocean views, ideally situated in the coveted Estate section of Belmont Heights. A testament to elevated living, this home has been flawlessly maintained and enriched with over $500,000 in high-end improvements. Inside, original architectural details such as barrel ceilings, original hardwood flooring, and a beautiful fireplace surrounded by custom built-ins enrich the formal living room, while the adjoining formal dining room offers the perfect setting for elevated entertaining while a dedicated downstairs office with a pocket door provides a tranquil space for work or study. The heart of the home is an expertly designed gourmet kitchen featuring custom Alder cabinetry, hand-painted tile work, Dekton countertops and top-tier appliances, including a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, Perlick and U-Line wine coolers, a Jenn-Air cooktop and electric oven, a sleek Jenn-Air dishwasher, ThinQ stackable W/D and a pantry with pull out drawers and under stairs access. A custom 36” solid Alder side door with Cypress moulding pays homage to the home’s 1920s heritage. The kitchen opens to a spacious family room where oversized windows overlook the sparkling lap pool and lush backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite hosts a cedar-lined walk-in closet with built-ins and a private balcony overlooking the pool along with 3 generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk in shower. The outdoor area is an entertainer’s dream—mature landscaping, private seating areas, and a solar tube heated 40 ft spa/lap pool with a waterfall feature creates the perfect retreat for gatherings or serene relaxation. Additional upgrades include $30K ADU design plans, a new roof, updated plumbing and electrical systems, a two-car garage, new Jeld-Wen butterfly windows, a striking new front entry door, and recessed lights and upgraded fixtures to name a few. Perfectly positioned in one of Long Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods just a short distance from Lowell Elementary, Will Rogers Middle School, parks, the Colorado Lagoon, beaches, marinas, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and the vibrant dining and boutique shopping of 2nd Street and Old Town Seal Beach. A rare offering, this home captures the essence of classic California elegance in a truly iconic location.
