More Insights

Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this architecturally significant home is well-maintained but shows signs of aging. The kitchen features dated honey-oak cabinets and speckled granite countertops, though the stainless steel appliances appear more recent and functional. Bathrooms also exhibit similar dated cabinetry, granite, and basic tile work. Flooring consists of clean but dated large square tiles in main areas and basic carpet in bedrooms. While functional and clean, the property requires significant aesthetic updates in the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring to meet current design standards, aligning with a renovation timeline of 15-30 years ago.

About this home

Located in Long Beach's highly desired Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood- a rarely seen Clifton Jones Jr. designed modernist garden home. Known as Cerritos Circle, the architect's distinguished tract of mid-century modern post and beam style homes were developed in the early 1960s on land that once served as pasture and training facilities for the family's thoroughbred racehorses. Offered here is the Edward Killingsworth inspired D plan model, featuring a dramatic 17' tall living/dining area, a sculptural spiral staircase, and floor to ceiling walls of glass at east and west facings. The property shares more similarity with a custom single family residence than it does with a typical townhome; with 2 bedrooms / 2.5 baths, spacious open plan, expansive back patio, and direct access to an attached two car garage. Privacy between units was a primary consideration in the architect's design. Located in Long Beach's highly desired Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club neighborhood: with tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, adjacent Dominguez Gap Wetlands + nearby shopping, restaurants, and breweries of Bixby Knolls. Central location with easy freeway access for commutes to both Los Angeles and Orange County, and less than 1.5 miles from a metro station.
