Hidden gem-charming updated Craftsman cottage within walking distance of the beach, in one of Long Beach's most desirable pockets! This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home is tucked privately behind a fully fenced yard with lush landscaping and water fountains. Inside, the living and dining areas feel bright and inviting, with hardwood flooring throughout and vaulted ceilings. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a built-in wine fridge, and a coffee bar made for entertaining. The updated bathroom offers a spa-style rain shower. The primary bedroom is bright with multiple windows and a walk-in closet, and most of the newer custom windows are double-paned. Outside, a welcoming front porch and a private side patio screened by tall bamboo create a quiet outdoor retreat, while a tiled driveway and electronic gate lead to one enclosed parking space. Ideally located just a short walk from Retro Row, the Long Beach Museum of Art, neighborhood coffee shops, and the ocean-this charmer won't last long.
