About This Home

As of August 2019

Welcome to California Heights Historic District, the community that Sunset Magazine once identified as the “Best Neighborhood in the West” in their biennial salute to the best places to live in the Western United States. Nestled within this exceptional Long Beach neighborhood is this absolutely charming, well-preserved and move-in ready Craftsman Bungalow – 3543 Cerritos Ave. This is a terrific home for the discerning buyer who desires architectural style without sacrificing modern comforts and conveniences. The home features four bedrooms (two up and two down), two bathrooms, a living room entry that connects to a spacious, open format kitchen and dining area, and a separate studio/office that provides approximately 250 square feet of additional living area. The rich character of this home is immediately apparent in the refinished hardwood floors, wood banister, restored hardware and exposed beam ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms and studio. Modern upgrades include central heating and air conditioning, newer stainless-steel appliances, double sink vanity and remodeled shower in the master bathroom, and upgraded plumbing. Character, style, comfort, condition and location combine to make this property a unique and special living environment, and a great opportunity.
