  Mid-Century cachet on 2 separate parcels in Long Beach’s Bixby Knolls Distinguished by a rare double corner homesite in the highly sought-after Long Beach community of Bixby Knolls, this exceptional Mid-Century California ranch house maintains its period-perfect cachet while carefully revealing appreciated yet subtle new improvements. Mature shade trees, some dating back more than 70 years, combine with lush landscaping to contribute to unparalleled privacy on grounds of nearly one- half acre that sits on two separate parcels. Meandering pathways, a classic rectangular swimming pool, fragrant and colorful gardens, and exotic tropicals create a sense of wonder and provide a gorgeous backdrop for parties and kickback relaxation. The indoor/outdoor nature of the single-level home makes it easy to entertain throughout the year in a floor plan that spans approximately 3,200 square feet and offers three bedrooms and five baths. A bright front door opens to a welcoming foyer that leads to a generous living room with bay window and fireplace. The formal dining room is framed with inlaid mirrors, and an office with built-ins means working from home is even more rewarding. Mid-Century meets old-school diner in the kitchen, where a nook with built-ins, white cabinetry, a pantry, electric cooktop, and vintage double oven are joined by an in-counter gas grill. Bedrooms are large and comfortable, and the primary suite goes further with a sunken garden-view tub, backyard access and expertly crafted built-ins. Freshly painted interior spaces, new plumbing throughout, a tankless water heater and restored woodwork blend seamlessly with the original wood and tile flooring and floor-to- ceiling windows. A detached studio with kitchen and bath and a glass-enclosed cabana room with massive bath offer future rental possibilities at this peerless property, which is walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops on Atlantic Avenue and Wardlow Road. Monthly First Friday events bring the community together to enjoy street vendors, food and music, and schools and parks are moments from home. The sands of Long Beach and Seal Beach are about 15 minutes south, and LA’s vibrant Arts District is just 14 miles away. With room to grow, room to build or to keep this magical place all to yourself, it will be yours to decide. Welcome to your forever home.NOTE: Property is in 2 separate parcels.

  Seventy-five years ago, a wise developer purchased two lots on a prime corner in the coveted area of Bixby Knolls in Long Beach. The combined total of the lots equaled 20,468 ft.². Nearly half of an acre! This remarkable estate located at 4365 Cerritos is the result of that significant decision. Luxurious living, tranquility, with complete privacy, was the goal. A tree-lined fence encloses the entire property. The carefully selected landscape includes exotic plants from around the world. The Hoya Flowers bloom as the Dogwood petals flutter in the afternoon breeze. Strolling through the majestic garden, the smell of trees, flowers, and shrubs is intoxicating. The lush green grassy area brings thoughts of the past: days filled with croquet or volleyball, with the mid-century style rectangle-shaped swimming pool sparkling in the afternoon sun. A magnificent olive tree stands outside the West, facing bedroom windows. A formal entry includes walls detailed with unique millwork against a mirrored background, texture, and charm that only happened once upon a time. The living room with exquisitely polished hardwood floors, a stately fireplace, and wall-to-wall windows is to the left of the foyer. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room with delicate trim and panels and a beautiful vintage chandelier. Between the dining room and the kitchen, you'll find a sunny and bright breakfast nook with built-ins and delightful details. The kitchen is pure vintage California, a cross between mid-century and diner style, with a lovely figured glass window, an electric range, and a gas barbecue built into the counter. Behind the kitchen, there is a guest bathroom and a pantry. The family room deserves special attention, with rust-colored shag carpet from floor to ceiling, copper light fixtures, and a swanky walk-in bar with a stainless circular bar top that matches the stainless fireplace. The primary bedroom has a finely milled built-ins, and a Storefront door leading to the garden. The sunken tub in the adjoining bathroom has a glass wall with a garden view. There are two additional dwellings, rental potential. The Cabana Room/Glass House is fabulous, with a gigantic bath/jacuzzi made of emerald green & maroon tile. The bathroom has a classic maroon toilet, pedestal sink, and shower. The second studio is complete with a kitchen and a bathroom. The home needs restoration and is worthy of the effort. A one in a million property, nearly half acre of prime land.
