EXCITING $200,000 PRICE ADJUSTMENT! Discover the allure of this distinguished Historic Villa, gracefully situated on the iconic First Street in Bluff Park just one block from the beach — one of the city's most prestigious locations. Designed in 1927 by renowned Long Beach architect Joseph Roberts, this Spanish Revival estate flawlessly merges the spectacular craftsmanship of a bygone era with modern luxuries. All 15 rooms, including a charming remodeled 1 bedroom 1 bathroom guest house, exude character and charm. A symphony of timeless details enhance nearly 3,250 square feet of interior space, featuring gracious rooms, archways, gleaming hardwood floors, custom built-ins, crown molding, coved ceilings, French windows and doors, two Batchelder tiled fireplaces, and more. The well-flowing design of the living room, formal dining room, kitchen, and outdoor patio seamlessly balance entertaining and living spaces. The eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting granite countertops, an expansive central island, abundant walnut cabinets, and stunning Portuguese tile — perfect for culinary creativity and casual dining. The main level is complete with a unique half bath, and a study with custom built-ins that offers a serene retreat for work or relaxation. Upstairs, three bedrooms await, including the Primary Suite, which features a spacious shared balcony and an en-suite bath. Additionally, a cozy Family Room provides versatility and another gathering spot for quality time. The expansive, lush, park-like grounds transport you to a private seaside sanctuary, where outdoor living reaches new heights. Off the kitchen, a huge tiled patio with an outdoor kitchen and dedicated dining and lounging areas beckons, while the adjacent grass space leads to a Zen garden and remodeled guest quarters. Perched atop the three-car garage with alley access, the guest quarters offers endless possibilities with its full kitchen, full bath, living room, bedroom, and income potential. Located just moments from the Long Beach Museum of Art, vibrant 2nd St. shopping, world-class dining, Downtown, various water-related activities, miles of bike paths, daily yoga on the bluff, and Farmer's Markets, this Historic Villa truly offers a grand lifestyle!
