Filled with iconic Craftsman-era charm, this thoughtfully updated home combines the warmth and personality of a classic bungalow with the upgrades today’s buyers want. The remodeled kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring soft-close cabinetry, custom butcher-block countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a utility sink, and stylish modern finishes. The renovated bathroom offers a porcelain tub with beautiful white tile and striking black accents. New laminate and tile flooring throughout creates a fresh, cohesive feel. The converted one-car garage adds an incredible bonus space with a washer and dryer, built-in bar setup, and ready-to-use wiring for TV and music—perfect for a media lounge, game room, home gym, or ultimate hangout spot.

Major improvements include ductless heating and air conditioning, copper plumbing throughout, a new roof, and sprinkler systems in both the front and back yards. A three-car driveway provides generous off-street parking. Located near the iconic Joe Jost’s and within walking distance of coffee shops, outdoor entertainment, and neighborhood favorites, this miraculous home offers an irresistible blend of history, style, privacy, and indoor-outdoor living. This isn’t just another home—it’s a timeless Long Beach bungalow made for gathering, relaxing, and creating lasting memories.
