4467 Myrtle Ave, Long Beach, CA 90807

Like a luxury resort built decades ago, with mature tropical foliage and brick masonry, this home features period-styling in tile-work, cabinetry, windows, flooring, and the graceful stairwell. With two window-bright bedrooms, complete with full-bath en suites (one has a jetted tub), upstairs AND a wood-paneled bedroom with a 3/4 bath on the first floor, this sprawling space even garages 3 cars with individual doors. Wood floors upstairs, and running throughout the family, dining and living rooms, highlight the stone-framed fireplace. A full-sized den/media/craft room separates the upstairs bedrooms; its wall of windows offers parents oversight of the brick patio, pool/spa and garden. Laundry and a breakfast area work near the open-plan kitchen which features long counters and a 6-burner Viking range and faces the garden. Adjacent is the formal dining room lit by an original bay window. Your west-facing balcony beckons from the sidewalk; from the inside, looking over the balconies onto the street or yard is calming, as "home" should be.
