Charming historic home built in 1907 in the Historic Willmore District, near downtown Long Beach.
This historic home has many unique architectural details of a bygone era, at the end of the Victorian period and the beginning of the Craftsman period. The classic wood siding, large original front door, and hipped roof with dormer windows are the exterior architectural features. A talented gardener has lovingly maintained the gardens of the front and back yard, and her work is also evident in the historic Bembridge house a block away. While many of the plants are dormant in the winter, the garden will come to life with lush, colorful flowers and vines in the springtime. New owners will enjoy the view of the garden and other historical homes from the large front porch. The interior of the house features high ceilings, and an enclosed sunporch. Original details include: crown moldings, hardwood floors throughout, built-in cabinetry, a decorative fireplace, plate rails, wainscoting, and even the original clawfoot tub in the bathroom. The home originally had 2 bedrooms and an office at the front of the house. The office now has a closet and could be used as a 3rd bedroom. The kitchen has custom Craftsman-style oak cabinetry, and the original sink. This cabinetry could be restored.
The back door from the kitchen leads to the backyard full of plants. This yard has plenty of room for the backyard of your dreams. The carriage garage has a newer roof and plenty of room for storage. The laundry area is in the garage. Securely gated long driveway will hold several cars, and provide privacy. This historic property is looking for it's next caretaker to restore it to the next level.
