Classic Craftsman Cottage in excellent downtown Long Beach neighborhood. The beauty of this home starts with the traditional front porch that makes the perfect place to sit and simply watch the world go by...something that has been enjoyed by owners since 1913! Luckily, the original details of wood lap siding, wood casement windows, and dormered roofline are intact and restored beautifully. Inside, the Craftsman architectural elements continue with original moldings and wainscotting plus wood and hard surface flooring throughout. Large living room flows naturally into beautiful dining room with bay windows and molded archway. Huge kitchen has been remodeled with rich wood cabinetry, quartz counters, and stainless appliances. There is plenty of room for multiple cooks here...with oh so much storage and prep space. Convenient utility room has extra storage and access to the outside. Both bedrooms are good size and can accommodate any furniture requirements. Many upgrades throughout including upgraded 200 amp electrical system, central HVAC system and recessed lighting...plus fresh paint inside and out. One car detached garage plus driveway for parking additional cars is unheard of at this price...dare to compare! Large lot is totally useable for entertaining, pets, and even room for the gardener in you! Great location near neighborhood park, transportation, and shopping. Let the tradition of this lovely home continue with you!
