Description

Welcome to 1106 E 45th Way, also known as the "Sunlight House" or "Bernice Tay Residence," by the acclaimed architect Paul Tay. This exquisite custom modern home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and set on a generous 7,521 sq ft lot. Located in Bixby Knolls, an area known for its mid-century charm and vibrant community, this home is a stone’s throw from local boutiques, eclectic dining options, and beautiful parks. Built in 1952, this midcentury marvel showcases Tay’s iconic design elements, including clean horizontal lines, functional minimalism and manipulation of light.

Walking through the entry way, the living room boasts an open and spacious design, featuring soaring ceilings adorned with exposed beams while oversized and clerestory windows bathe the interior with light. A flagstone fireplace beautifully bridges the interior with its lush exterior surroundings.

The home has also been beautifully modernized, featuring a brand-new roof and elegant quartzite flooring seamlessly connecting the Sunlight House’s many gathering spaces. Home chefs will love the upgraded kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a large LG built-in fridge, brand new 2024 Bosch gas range, stunning Carrara marble countertops, and outdoor BBQ grill and smoker.

Bathrooms have been updated with designer fixtures, including Phillippe Starck faucets and Duravit sinks, adding sophistication to the functional spaces. Retreat to the serene backyard, featuring various lounging areas, a dining space, and a putting green—all thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful outdoor experience that seamlessly complements the interior.

This home is a beautiful example of Tay's exceptional work, showcasing the innovative design and timeless elegance that define his architectural legacy. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this stunning mid-century modern gem that captures the essence of an era while offering modern comforts.

There are many tree lined streets in this tract, with charming old historic homes. There's nothing cookie cutter about this area. We have old spanish style, cottages and bungalows. The people here are friendly, and welcoming. Shops and restaurants are at walkable distances. The freeways are conveniently located without being too close to hear. The weather is perfect, being only 4.5 miles away from the ocean. This part of Long Beach is the perfect compromise between L.A. and Orange county. I absolutely love it!"
