About This Home
As of April 2026Beautifully restored Spanish-style pool home offering timeless character, modern upgrades, and exceptional lifestyle features in one of Long Beach's most sought after and established neighborhoods of California Heights. This thoughtfully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence blends classic architecture with today’s most desirable improvements, creating a home that is both elegant and functional.
Inside, the home features original restored wood flooring complemented by terracotta Riviera tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, enhancing its warm Spanish aesthetic. The custom kitchen showcases built-in appliances, soft-closing cabinetry, and stone countertops, while the bathrooms feature coordinating stone surfaces, custom vanities, and antique brass faucets throughout, creating a cohesive and elevated design. The layout is ideal for indoor-outdoor living, with French doors in two of the bedroom opening directly to the backyard, filling the home with natural light and creating seamless access to outdoor spaces.
A separate laundry room adds convenience and includes an additional sink and a built-in dog bath station, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and pet owners.
Significant behind-the-scenes upgrades include all new electrical, all new plumbing, and a retrofitted foundation (seismic bolting) and a roof that was done in 2023.
The private backyard offers a newly replastered pool, perfect for relaxing or entertaining and is enhanced by a newly installed redwood fence that adds privacy and a finished outdoor feel.
The property also includes ready-to-issue (RTI) permits for a 1-bedroom, 1-bath garage ADU with a kitchen (apprx 458 square ft), presenting excellent future income or guest house potential. Built in 1940, the home is eligible for the Mills Act, which may offer potential property tax savings for qualified buyers.
This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded Spanish-style home that balances architectural charm, modern infrastructure, and future expansion potential.
