243 Park Avenue, Long Beach, Los Angeles County, CA, 90803

Rare historic Spanish-style home steps from Belmont Short with a guest house and private garages. Stroll up the welcoming brick walkway through a wrought iron gate to find a peaceful courtyard garden. Step through the custom arched door into a high-ceiling foyer leading to a spacious great room. Be prepared to marvel at the red oak floors, coved ceilings and 1920's built-in cabinetry. The front home offers 3 bedrooms (1 currently being used as an office) and 2 bathrooms plus an over-sized family kitchen streaming with natural light and cozy corner fireplace. Upgrades include fully paid solar panels, double-paned glass, mini-splits heating and air-conditioning along with supplemental forced gas heat. French doors from the great room lead to a lovely side garden and rear patio area. Inside the 4-car garage (accessed from the alley), you will find a generous-sized office. Above the garage is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath rental apartment with vaulted ceilings, wood floors, fireplace and two balconies. This home truly combines the best of 1923 charm with 21st century SMART house upgrades.
