Welcome home to this affordable and fantastic co-op just east of the Circle AKA Sovereign Park Estates. Situated near the middle of Long Beach, Sovereign Estates is in an outstanding and convenient location. Almost everything you need is within walking distance, including major grocery stores, a CVS and an In-N-Out (because everyone loves In-N-Out). CSULB is a stroll down the street. Downtown Los Angeles is 26 miles away, the Long Beach Airport airport 2.5 miles north, and Alamitos Bay Marina is 3.5 miles southeast. Several parks and schools are also nearby as are the 405, 22, 710 and 605 transportation corridors. The community offers 5 pools, a library, and a billiard room, a gym/exercise room and common area clubhouses. The grounds are well kept and the HOA dues include high speed internet and DirecTV, trash, water and exterior maintenance. This cheerful and bright one bedroom model offers over 850 sq. ft. of living space. The kitchen offers a newer built in Jenn Air oven, a cabinet depth refrigerator (that doesn't stick out), an electric stove top and exhaust hood. The windows and slider are upgraded with vinyl and have double panes. The entry door features a Ring Doorbell and the flooring is beautiful warm refinished hardwood. Other owners with the same floorplan added an interior wall and converted a portion of the living area into a second bedroom and second bathroom. This property was just professionally painted and is move in ready. Your oversize balcony overlooks one of the association pools and the gym/exercise room. Parking includes a garage space and permits are available for an additional vehicle. The HOA requires a 20% down payment and most lenders do not offer co-op financing. A co-op is short for stock cooperative and differs from a condo. Call for details.
