Description

Nestled on one of Wrigley’s most peaceful and welcoming streets, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Long Beach history. Built in 1953 by the original owner, it has remained in the same family ever since. With 1,417 square feet of living space on a 5,400 square foot lot, this home blends classic design with potential for modern updates. A 1960 addition expanded the floor plan to include a spacious primary suite featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace—a cozy retreat with vintage charm. The light-filled living room is anchored by a large front window, while built-in storage and original mid-century details—including retro green tile and fixtures in one bath—add a sense of nostalgia and personality. Original hardwood floors were recently uncovered in the two front bedrooms, and lie under the living room carpet as well. While the home offers room for cosmetic updates like paint and new flooring in the kitchen and baths, it has abundant storage throughout and some key systems have already been upgraded, including plumbing and heating. Out back, a long gated driveway leads to a detached garage and a spacious rear yard with mature roses and a lemon tree. A whimsical, custom-built playhouse crafted by the original adds a storybook charm to the backyard. Don’t miss this special chance to own a one-of-a-kind property in the Wrigley area. With its rich history and solid bones, this home is ready for its next chapter.
