Property Description
Within walking distance of Junipero Beach and Bluff Park, this special 1919 home is nestled in the highly sought-after Bluff Heights Historic District, one of Long Beach’s most treasured neighborhoods, known for its historic architecture, tree-lined streets, and relaxed coastal lifestyle. The three-bedroom, one-bath main residence is filled with character, offering hardwood floors throughout most living areas, a welcoming living room with fireplace, kitchen, formal dining room, separate family room, and enclosed private patio, complemented by newer paint, a newer roof, and a complete permitted foundation installed in 2015. Beyond the main home, a permitted 690-square-foot detached structure built in 2003 features a two-car garage, additional bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet, creating outstanding potential for conversion into a complete ADU with the addition of a kitchen and required city approvals to bring total living square footage to over 2,000 sqft. The expansive lot may also offer opportunities to enlarge the main residence, giving the next owner multiple ways to enhance the property’s functionality and future value. An automated alley gate opens to a private rear parking area with an attached two-car carport and parking for up to six vehicles—an exceptionally rare advantage this close to the coast. Mature backyard trees create a peaceful outdoor setting, while attractive, low-maintenance landscaping enhances the front of the property. Enjoy convenient access to Retro Row, Belmont Shore, local restaurants, shopping, Long Beach Convention Center, and the very best of coastal Long Beach. Permits and reports are available; home, termite, and required City garage inspections have been completed for buyer convenience. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a historic coastal home with remarkable flexibility and exceptional upside.
