Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1914, this historic Craftsman is well-maintained but dated. While the kitchen and bath are described as updated, the visual evidence of older carpeting, original wood trim, and a patchwork A/C system suggests renovations are likely 20+ years old. The home is move-in ready but requires modernization of systems and finishes to meet current standards.
This 1914 Craftsman Bungalow preserves its ageless charm with original built-ins, a fireside living room, and 'old world' coffered ceilings, offering a rare level of historic integrity.
Nestled in the heart of historic Los Cerritos near the Virginia Country Club, the property enjoys a serene, wooded setting in one of Long Beach’s most coveted and stately neighborhoods.
The 7,225 sqft lot features resort-like wooded terraces, fruit trees, and a private rear court, providing exceptional outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the home’s layout may be a significant drawback for modern families or buyers looking for a primary suite.
The property lacks central air conditioning, with cooling only specifically mentioned for one bedroom, which may necessitate a costly HVAC upgrade for full-home comfort.
