Description

Tucked away on a quiet, residential street in Long Beach, this well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a comfortable blend of classic character and future potential. Set on a large, flat lot, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed with new interior and exterior paint, recently refinished hardwood floors, and new carpet in two of the bedrooms—making it move-in ready while still offering opportunities to update and personalize over time.

Inside, the living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace and flows naturally into the rest of the home, creating a welcoming space for everyday living. The kitchen is conveniently positioned with a nearby laundry area, and the washer and dryer are included, adding to the home’s everyday functionality. Central air conditioning provides year-round comfort.

The expansive backyard provides plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment, entertaining, or future possibilities, while the detached garage—set behind the home—offers additional flexibility. A long driveway with room for RV parking adds to the property’s versatility.

Whether you’re looking to settle in and make gradual improvements or envision a more extensive reimagining, this home presents a convenient Long Beach location close to shopping, dining, and easy freeway access.
