You’ve found a gem located in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in southeast Long Beach - University Park Estates. This graceful home has been well loved and cared for by one family since the day it was built in 1961, exactly the type of home you'd hope to find. You can see the mindfulness and attention to detail everywhere you look. It has an ideal layout for everyday living and fun for entertaining with a nice open flow from the entry through to the living areas and out to the backyard. Your new home is equipped with all the high-quality amenities you would expect from a home of this caliber. The dual pane windows and doors will help keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter along with central AC and forced air heating that was installed last year. Other highlights include: vaulted ceilings with skylight for natural light, new vinyl plank flooring throughout, full interior painting just completed, approx 10-year-old roof, copper plumbing, see-through fireplace, and re-lined interior and main sewer lines. There is a very private yard with lush, mature landscaping, and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. There’s a beautiful view of the yard from the living, dining, and family rooms. Prime location near several parks, easy access to multiple freeways, bike paths, a huge variety of shopping and dining options, excellent schools (Kettering Elementary scored a 10 on Great Schools and is right around the corner), CSULB, and its just a short way to numerous beaches - both Long Beach and Seal Beach. Come and see this outstanding home for yourself!
