This stunning cottage home in a beautiful neighborhood only a few miles from the Pacific is the definition of elegant simplicity of a bygone era. Set on a large lot along a jacaranda lined street of tidy, well-kept homes, there's so much to love about this beautifully restored and updated vintage gem, beginning with a well-manicured front lawn, a wide driveway with gated access to the rear, and a comfortable, shaded front porch. Through the main door, step into the open plan living area awash in light from numerous windows. A handsome original fireplace with brick surround and unique mantelpiece is the focus of this delightful gathering spot. Warm toned wood laminate floors flow from living area to formal dining room and spacious kitchen where you'll find more than ample counter space, solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel gas range and vent hood, a window over the kitchen sink, a dedicated laundry area with its own sink, counter and storage cupboards. Nearby, a door leads out to an immense, fully enclosed, very private, attractively landscaped back yard with raised garden beds, shaded concrete patio for al fresco dining, fire pit, and detached two-car garage. Three sunny bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, have ample closet space and one bedroom, with wood laminate flooring, can accommodate a personal
desk and has its own access to the back yard. There is a sizeable, tastefully updated bath with vintage diamond pattern black and white tile floor, oversize vanity, and tub/shower. Amenities include newer central A/C. The property is conveniently located within easy reach of freeways, Long Beach Airport, as well as great shopping (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods), outdoor recreation (parks and golf courses, El Dorado Nature Center), and of course, the beach is only minutes away!!
