This inviting Long Beach home is on the market for the first time in over 30 years! From the moment you arrive, you'll be taken with the cute Spanish accents, colorful landscape and cozy front porch where you can sit and chat with the many "long-time" neighbors and passersby. As you enter, the warmth and conform of this home is truly evident. Natural light streams through the formal living room, and the adjacent dining room leads to a private patio area. At the front of the home are two bedrooms and a full bath. There is also an ensuite primary bedroom with a 3/4 bath and large wall closet, which overlooks the peaceful and spacious backyard. The galley style kitchen offers lots of cabinet and counter space and opens to a huge family room where all can gather. Anchored by a beautiful stone gas/wood burning fireplace, this room offers high ceilings, and lots of space to entertain or just "hang out" after a long day. The laundry room is conveniently located nearby. Step out onto a spacious deck, made with Trex composite material for easy maintenance, and then into the huge backyard with plenty of room for pets and play - Just in time for your summer barbecues! There is a spacious area behind the garage that would be perfect for your veggie garden, which would complement the harvest from the fruit bearing fig, avocado and lemon trees. The oversized, extra-deep garage has room for two cars PLUS added storage and there is also a work area with extra cabinetry. A brand-new roll-up door and opener make for easy access. The long, wide driveway offers plenty of room for multiple cars or toys! This well-maintained home sits on a large R-2 lot and has a new (Dec 2023) roof and new wood-look waterproof laminate flooring throughout. With a great location, close to stores, schools and major streets, and just a short jaunt to Recreation Park, this is one you don't want to miss!
