Property is move-in ready.
This 1928 historic studio is in move-in ready condition, featuring a successful blend of period charm and modern updates. The kitchen has been fully modernized with contemporary white cabinetry, stone countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. While the bathroom retains its original Art Deco vintage tile and cast-iron tub, it appears exceptionally well-maintained rather than dilapidated. The presence of refinished hardwood floors, updated plantation shutters, and clean interior finishes indicates a high level of upkeep without the need for immediate renovation.
Located in the iconic 1928 Villa Riviera, this residence features timeless French Château details and qualifies for Mills Act tax benefits, offering significant property tax savings for the owner.
The monthly HOA fee includes all essential utilities—electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet—providing exceptional value and simplified monthly budgeting.
Situated directly on Ocean Boulevard, the property offers immediate access to the beach path, downtown dining, and cultural attractions, making it an ideal urban coastal retreat.
Despite its generous size, the lack of a separate, private bedroom may limit appeal for buyers seeking traditional layouts or distinct living and sleeping quarters.
Parking is available via lease rather than being deeded with the unit, which represents an ongoing additional expense and potential inconvenience in a high-density downtown area.
Timeless oceanfront elegance. PRICE REDUCTION An exceptional oversized studio in the iconic Villa Riviera, offering classic 1928 French Château architecture with thoughtful modern updates. Larger than many one-bedroom homes, this light-filled residence features hardwood floors, coved ceilings, bay windows with French mullion casement frames, plantation shutters, and a rare, generously sized dressing-closet area. The original Deco-style bath showcases vintage tile, a cast-iron tub, and natural light—details that cannot be recreated today. Outstanding value: HOA includes all utilities—gas, electricity, heat, hot water, cable TV, and internet—providing significant monthly savings. Amenities include a grand ballroom, ocean-view sun deck, BBQ area, guest suite, and parking options available to lease. Mills Act tax benefits and oil rights included. Steps from the beach path, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions in vibrant downtown Long Beach. A rare opportunity for an elegant coastal retreat or primary residence.
