Tucked within Long Beach’s sought-after California Heights Historic District, this thoughtfully updated 1939 cottage blends timeless character with modern comfort. Framed by a lush privacy hedge, the home opens to a light-filled interior featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, rich hardwood floors, and large windows that capture views of the surrounding greenery.

The kitchen has been beautifully reimagined with custom cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, and seamless access to a spacious patio deck—perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

The primary suite offers a peaceful escape with vaulted ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a private bath. French doors lead directly to the backyard, enhancing the connection to the outdoor space and bringing in natural light. Bathrooms are finished with classic marble surfaces and hex tile flooring, adding a refined, timeless touch.

The backyard provides a versatile setting with room to unwind, host, or reimagine to suit your needs. The alley-access two-car garage includes an approximately 200 sq ft bonus space (not included in the home’s square footage), ideal for a home office, studio, gym, guest retreat, or potential ADU.

Designed with a functional layout that lives larger than its footprint, the home offers a comfortable balance of open living and defined spaces.

Set on a charming tree-lined street, just moments from local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, parks, and major freeways, this home offers a rare combination of historic appeal, thoughtful updates, and future potential in one of Long Beach’s most beloved neighborhoods.
