4247 Country Club Dr Long Beach, CA 90807

Agent Remarks: Custom built estate home on the picturesque golf course at Virginia Country Club. Built by commercial architect, Kurt Meyer, and offered for sale for the first time, this extraordinary home combines classic Mid Century features with the essence of Monterey style. Floor to ceiling windows prevail throughout the home, presenting a perfect picture view of the stunning courtyard and pool or of the Club’s fairways. The courtyard exudes both charm and beauty with a stately curved bridge crossing the white concrete pool, amongst a lovely landscape. Majestic pear trees line the perimeter wall but bow to the grand 150 year old Podocarpus tree. Adding to the environs is a beautifully constructed overhang extending the length of the building. An immediate statement is made upon entry to the home, with an exquisite wood slatted ceiling design and quarry tile flooring. This first floor can be characterized by two separate living styles, formal and casual. The more formal west wing includes the magnificent great room, with its soaring beamed ceiling, elegant built-in curio cabinet, walnut wall unit and a verde antique embellished fireplace. A circular stairway, in the adjacent foyer, is classically esthetic. Golf course views can be had from both the private office/den and the formal dining room. The office/den has distressed wormwood walls and a decorative fireplace, while the sizeable dining room is ideal for large dinner parties. The east wing style has a more casual feel. The kitchen, which is the central hub between wings, opens to a cozy and comfortable family room. Reading, watching TV or conversing around the fireplace are ideal for this space. At the end of the wing is the ultimate rec room, complete with bar, soda fountain, nook seating, and pool table ready. A bank of sunlit windows line the 2nd floor hallway, illuminating 30 feet of pristine walnut cabinetry. All five 2nd floor bedrooms overlook the golf course and are en suite, one being a large master suite with its spacious, organized walk-in closet and intimate fireplace. The home boasts 7 baths total; 4 baths upstairs, 2 half baths downstairs and an outdoor access pool bath with shower. The enormous 4 car garage provides the optimum for parking and storage. Emanating both elegance and warmth, one can feel the grandeur of this estate amidst its abundance of classical elements.
