Long Beach, CA 90804

In the heart of Greenbelt Heights—where palm trees sway overhead and colorful bungalows line the quiet, sun-drenched street—stands a 1920s Spanish Colonial that feels like it’s been plucked from an old postcard. Here, mornings begin with the glow of sunlight spilling through double-pane windows onto classic oak and fir floors, and evenings wind down in the soft curve of an arched doorway or the cozy glow of a vintage glass doorknob. The original charm is everywhere—exquisite moldings, a darling built-in buffet, and that iconic barrel tile roof—but every inch has been thoughtfully updated for modern life: a complete copper repipe, upgraded electrical, tankless water heater, fresh insulation, refinished hardwoods, contemporary windows, and a chic, refreshed kitchen and bath. Step out the back door for your morning coffee in a private courtyard just off the kitchen, or open the front bedroom’s French door to your own private retreat. The block is peaceful and car-light, dead-ending into the refurbished Greenbelt, a meandering path that leads you to the refreshing Colorado Lagoon, the Broadway Corridor’s coffee shops and boutiques, and the beaches of Belmont Shore—all in minutes by foot or bike. The detached garage isn’t just for parking—it’s finished and ready for laundry, storage, or your next creative project. And above it? A fully permitted bonus room just waiting to become your art studio, music lounge, or stylish guest hideaway. This is more than a home—it’s the Long Beach Lifestyle. A place where vintage soul meets fresh, creative energy. A bungalow you’ll fall in love with, and never want to leave.
