Pre-appraised at $1,539,000 (report in Supplements), this 1914 Craftsman in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Rose Park South blends historic charm with modern efficiency just blocks from the beach. Imagine waking up in a south-facing home where fresh ocean breezes drift through the neighborhood. Original crown moldings, rich wood floors, and a chef’s kitchen with professional-grade appliances (GE Monogram, rivaling Viking/Wolf with high-BTU burners) set the stage for daily living and entertaining. Outdoors, your private sanctuary awaits: bamboo-lined yard, Buddha fountain, Meyer lemon, mandarin, and passion fruit trees, plus tandem parking for up to five cars. Located in Rose Park South, with Retro Row practically in your backyard, this neighborhood is celebrated for its diversity, creativity, and authenticity. More than 40 independent shops and restaurants are steps away, including Michelin-starred Heritage, James Beard–recognized Gusto Bread — voted one of the best bakeries in the U.S. — beloved Lola’s Mexican Cuisine, vintage boutiques, coffeehouses, and the Long Beach LGBTQ+ Center. Just 2.5 miles in either direction you’ll find Belmont Shore or the Long Beach Convention Center. Modern upgrades make life effortless: insulation in all exterior walls and attic, radiant barrier, a three-year-old Cool Roof with 30-year transferable warranty, mini-split, and a 240V ChargePoint EV charger. Pre-inspection and pre-appraisal reports are available in Supplements, ensuring buyer confidence. This home blends preserved historic beauty, modern efficiency, and California living at its finest.
