A Rare El Dorado Park South Find, Offered for the First Time in 66 Years
From the street, this home looks right at home among its mid-century neighbors: low-pitched roofline, classic 1953 character, nothing flashy. Then you walk inside. The great room opens up with vaulted ceilings soaring nearly 20 feet, a custom roof truss system designed by architect Robert Welch that turns a modest exterior into a genuine "wow" the moment you cross the threshold. It's the kind of layout you don't expect and won't forget.
At 1,686 sq ft this home is noticeably larger than most of its neighbors (many sit closer to 1,100 square feet), and it sits on approximately 12,800 sq ft estate sized corner lot. Lots 80 and 81 were legally combined back in 2005, creating one of the largest residential parcels in El Dorado Park South. The kitchen is built for real life: a center island, custom solid oak cabinetry, and an open flow into the living space that makes hosting easy instead of stressful. A bay window frames views of the mature, tree-lined backyard and fills the main living areas with natural light. The primary suite feels like its own retreat, with dual vanities, an oversized shower, a Jacuzzi tub, and multiple closets. Hardwood floors, new carpet, and triple-glazed Andersen windows round out the interior, keeping things quiet, bright, and comfortable. Outside, the possibilities are the real headline. A backyard this size can support a pool, an expansion, an ADU (buyer to verify), or simply room to breathe that most Long Beach lots can't offer. A long driveway adds RV or extra off-street parking, something increasingly hard to find. Located minutes from El Dorado Park, El Dorado Golf Course, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and the beach, this is a rare chance to own space and potential in one of Long Beach's most established neighborhoods. Homes like this, with this much land and this much room to grow, don't come up often. This one hasn't in over six decades. Buyer to verify square footage, lot size, permits, ADU potential, pool feasibility, expansion opportunities, and school boundaries.
