Welcome to this elegant and thoughtfully modernized 1937 residence, a light-filled 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home ideally located near top schools, beloved restaurants, coffee shops, and the charming heart of Bixby Knolls. Timeless architectural details blend seamlessly with modern upgrades, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.
The kitchen features an inviting breakfast area, along with generous counter space, ample storage, and a ZLINE range, making it ideal for both everyday living and hosting. Designed for effortless indoor–outdoor living, both the kitchen and formal dining room open through French doors to an expansive rear deck—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Across the beautifully designed yard there is an additional covered rear patio, complete with an outdoor fireplace and TV, which creates a true extension of the living space for year-round enjoyment.
The spacious formal living room is anchored by a beautiful wood- and gas-burning fireplace, polished wood floors, and ample room for gathering with family and friends. An adjacent family room provides flexible space for relaxing, media, or play. Crown molding throughout the home adds classic refinement, while newer Andersen windows frame lush, colorful landscaping and flood the interiors with natural light.
The front entry showcases an elegant staircase leading upstairs to a peaceful primary suite at the rear of the home. The ensuite bath includes dual sinks, marble surround tile, and a deep soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized with excellent closet space. A cedar-lined closet located in the upstairs hallway offers ideal storage, and a built-in upstairs desk area provides a perfect work-from-home or study nook.
Additional highlights include a two-car garage with alley access, attic storage, built-ins, and recent updates to the driveway, garage flooring, drywall, and exterior siding. Washer, dryer, and two refrigerators are included.
This is a rare opportunity to own a classic 1930s home rich in character, thoughtfully updated for modern living, and perfectly situated in one of Long Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
