Description

NEW PRICE! NOW $599,000! A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A DETACHED HISTORIC CRAFTSMAN IN DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH! This charming 1912 Craftsman offers a special combination of historic character, modern conveniences, privacy, and urban lifestyle in the heart of the desirable East Village Arts District. Less than 6 blocks to the Beach! Unlike a condominium, this detached one-bedroom, one-bath residence offers its own private entrance, gated courtyard, dedicated on-site parking, and NO HOA with a BONUS ROOM/den/office or guest quarters. Thoughtfully designed living space features original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and timeless architectural details that give this home its unique personality. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, showcasing granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas range, and breakfast bar, making the most of every inch of space. The beautifully updated contemporary bathroom features hexagon tile flooring, a spacious glass-enclosed subway tile shower, and rainfall showerhead. The bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a convenient built-in desk, creating additional functionality rarely found in a home of this size. Additional highlights include CENTRAL A/C & HEAT, dual-pane tinted windows, custom lighting, and a separate INDOOR LAUNDRY room with full-sized stackable washer and dryer. Step outside to your own PRIVATE GATED COURTYARD, an inviting outdoor retreat perfect for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, container gardening, or simply enjoying your own private space in the city. The DEDICATED GATED ON-SITE PARKING SPACE is an especially valuable convenience in downtown Long Beach. Enjoy an exceptional walkable lifestyle just moments from popular restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, art galleries, entertainment, beaches, Shoreline Village, The Pike, and the vibrant waterfront. Whether you're looking for a distinctive first home, a low-maintenance alternative to condominium living, or a unique downtown retreat, this historic Craftsman offers character and features that are hard to find at this price point, in this location. This home also qualifies for a GRANT up to $20,000 (please inquire). Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of Long Beach history. Come experience the character and possibilities of this special property in person!
